( he's just in her room, he's just staring at her with those sad, sad eyes. she has to do something, she has to — )

I know what we're all experiencing right now are more of psychological wounds, but if anyone ever needs any real medical assistance, I have a first aid kit in my room, and some basic medical training.

I'd do what I could to help.

( included are her contacts: )

But before anyone drinks poison, homemade wine, all I can do to help you with that is make you drink water mixed with fireplace charcoal.

( please talk to her, don't leave her alone with ghosts of boyfriends murdered )

No one is getting poisoned. Don't be dramatic.

[skaikru]

Someone could. I'm just trying to be realistic.

[64th]

I've made wine before. I'm not worried.

[villainously]

are you this hard on all alcoholic things, or just those of the less graceful variety?

( don't begrudge a pirate prison wine, ok )

[skaikru]

I'm fine with moonshine.

( given all the moonshines she's ever had was properly made and could cauterize wounds, none of this yeasty bullshit. )

[villainously]

if I had the option of making moonshine, darling, I would.

( desperate times and terribly desperate measures. )

[notafraidofyou]

...So are you a doctor?

[skaikru]

Not entirely. But I finished most of my internship and I've got some field experience.

( more like wood experience, they were in the woods for the most part )

[notafraidofyou]

Cool! I'm definitely glad to know there's someone around who can help out if there's an emergency. I mean, I think any experience is better than someone like me who has... basically none, beyond first aid.

[hacker]

I didn't realize we had anybody with real medical knowledge in here with us.
Maybe we should take a survey. Like, hey, what's your name, got any useful skills?

[skaikru]

I didn't finish my internship. I'm not exactly a qualified medical professional.
But that'd be a really useful survey. We could make a directory in case of an emergency.

[hacker]

Yeah and in a real emergency "medical intern" still beats the hell out of nothing. Don't sell yourself short.

[Jack always prefers to do these things where one person can see another. Through the decades, he's seen how just the sight of another can help. It's what he's hoping for now.]

Who helps the helpers?

[skaikru]

( the video feed certainly showcases her furrowed brow and slight confusion better than text could ever translate it. )

I — don't need help. ( not yet. not until she's overrun with patients and freaking out. ) Unless you're a doctor?

[A lovely lady. How pleased he is. Of course, a lovely man would have been just as welcome.]

Everyone needs help. No, I'm not a doctor.

[Small wistful sigh there.]

But I can help if you need it. I'm good at taking order with or without the other party holding a crop.

How basic?

[The important question.]

[skaikru]

I can reinflate your lung if you've got a straw handy. ( is that a decent measure of skill? that seems like a decent measure of skill. and if you're beyond saving, she's a pretty good stomach for putting people out of their misery. )

[lifewithoutrest]

[Definitely a decent measure of skill.]

Then you'll do well in a crisis.

If you run into anything beyond your abilities, I'll be happy to lend my advice.

[Or take care of it for her. Whichever is more efficient.]

[logistical]

May I ask what training specifically?

[skaikru]

My mother was the senior medical advisor on the Ark, and I apprenticed under her for almost a year. ( aaaand then she was incarcerated. ) And now I have two months field experience on the ground.

[logistical]

[ Field experience? Maybe some kind of specialised or survival training. ]

May I ask, what is the Ark?

nOT LATE NOT ME

[pajarita]

you really think someone's going to drink poison?

starbucks????

[skaikru]

I think people are getting stir crazy and aren't using their heads.

[cisskabob]

They gave you a first aid kit? I think I'm jealous.

Which is to say--if you ever need a second hand, I've got training and some field medic experience.

[NOT AN EASY THING TO ADMIT OR JUST THROW OUT THERE, but. It's worth it if it helps someone. And also MAKE THE GHOSTS STOP. Focus on something else. Yes good.]

[skaikru]

Great. That's good to hear, looks ike there's more medical experts than I thought, and that can never be a bad thing.

( she's starting to doubt if it was a really solid idea to advertise the first aid kit. it's nothing big, but it's useful and people always take useful things. but in the end it was probably for the best, right? )

If you ever need anything in the kit, please just let me know. But I might try to ration it.
