Have you been looked at by a healing esper or medical professional yet? Are you unsure of where you should be going and who should be in charge of making you be better? Are you likely to go wandering into mysterious healing circles without knowing what might happen inside them?

Baek Ji-woo will fix that!

This is not optional. All who are even mildly confused about what is wrong with them will submit to Ji-woo's tender organizational ministrations.

(She does, also, need to swing by and do some lung damage clean up after Airmed, and sometimes occasionally does some quick minor bone setting for Aumento, but, you know. Primarily it's using her ability to know just what the fuck is going on in the human body, without much towards meddling.)

Here is a esper covered in building dust and being transported by stretcher.

The woman escorting her can give a succinct report -- broken bones (backlash-linked), difficulty breathing, possible internal bleeding.

(She tripped on some debris trying to clear the danger zone of a fairly unstable building she'd been holding up for evacuation. That doesn't go in the report, though; she wasn't struck by anything other than the ground.)

Ah.

Yes, this is a Ji-woo level problem.

It's also going to suck a bunch, for everyone involved. This is not something they can fix immediately, at least not efficiently.

"Confirming the internal bleeding, located in lungs, patched the cause," diagnoses Ji-woo, succinctly. "There's still blood left over, please take her to Johnson to your left, I recommend having that drained while receiving guiding to ease breathing. Once your backlash is down we'll get to setting bones, then we'll set you up in the healing circle." Trying to set bones while she's still fragile is a terrible idea, so they won't be doing it. She types out specifics on her commscreen for Johnson; most of these bones are getting set by hand once they're not in danger of the bones breaking from being meddled with, but there's a nasty shard that she's going to have to handle personally.

"We'll have you back up by tomorrow," she says gently to Gridshell: and then that is all the time she gets with Ji-woo.

(Gridshell's displeasure with this state of affairs will not be here recorded, both because she's busy being in a lot of pain and because she's being rushed off.)

Here is an esper! She has burns and severe bruising on the left side of her body, and her wrist is obviously broken. Suspected internal bleeding. The person with her explains she has some moderate backlash in the form of mild fever.

She's conscious but dazed. She's carefully regulating her breathing to stop herself from crying or screaming and causing more pain to herself by moving her ribs.

Her story is that a gas main exploded and sent her flying. She was able to use her power to give herself as graceful a landing as possible but it still led to. That. And she got burned from it.

Today is a terrible day for ribs, apparently.

"Internal bleeding confirmed in abdomen, but you brought her fast enough that it doesn't need to be drained. I've fixed it," she says, typing specifics into her commscreen to attach to the patient. "Broken wrist is a distal radial fracture, it should be splinted before further healing. Go to," Johnson is not free yet, so it'd be - "Tremblay to get this splinted and the burns cleaned with antibacterial ointment, and then she'll be good to go to the healing circle."

Right, the new healing esper is here...she tries to recall their codename but too much of her brain is focused on carefully putting all her pain in a box and keeping it from getting out. The person with her will go to Tremblay!

Here is a Jamie :3! 

"Hi! My rescue partner took a rock to the head, where do I put him?" 

Permalink

He is supporting a woozy-looking man with a trickle of dried blood streaming down the side of his face. The man looks otherwise uninjured, but it must be quite the bump. Or maybe he is also separately backlashed. 

Permalink

Diagnostic poke -

- "Healing circle! Mind the warnings, super strength comes with the regen, maybe hold his stuff for him."

Permalink

"Thank you!" He guides his friend away from the diagnostic line, frisking him for items as he goes.

Here is a somewhat disgruntled esper with a badly twisted ankle (possibly broken) ankle.. She was running a dungeon with monsters who like to surprise attack people from the darkness and ran afoul of a hole in the poor lighting.

(She's annoyed with herself for getting injured stupidly and also somewhat backlashed because her partner is doing sensor sweeps elsewhere so not shy about complaining about it.)

Permalink

"Broken," asserts Ji-woo, but it's one of those damn little ones where the end of the bone has broken off and is rattling around solo. 'Medial malleolus fracture' is the technical term. That'll be hard to set without surgery in normal circumstances...

.. but she is Baek Ji-woo, and there is a regenerator present. And she has access to medical tape.

"Congratulations, you have a special snowflake break that's just a teensy bit of an outrageous bitch," she says, fetching the aforementioned medical tape and beginning to unroll it. "I'm going to set it here and now with esper bullshit, and then you get rolled immediately to the regeneration circle. Do not put any weight on this until it stops itching, understand?"

Permalink

"Understood. 

Permalink

"Hey, you're that famous Korean healer aren't you? Can I have your autograph? That way I can at least get something cool out of this to show off later."

Permalink

"I am! Sure, I will sign your medical tape for you once you're set," she says, managing a smile. On one hand: she is doing triage and is very busy, and her backlash is hovering over everything like the worst thundercloud of all time. On the other hand: it is objectively pretty cool to be recognized and bring honor to healers everywhere. And, also, signing medical tape is a ridiculous enough notion that it flips towards being an amusing distraction from the agonizing pain instead of a reason to bite heads off. Also: this is a patient, and she tries not to kill those. Just as a rule.

"Hold still, this will not hurt, but it will feel weird." Nerves giving pain feedback in this region: offline. And then, with her power showing where everything is on the inside, she lines up the rogue bit of bone with her two thumbs, and manually moves it to where it needs to be. Which is to say: she shoves it back to its home with two thumbs in a way that is really not recommended in most medical situations. As promised, it doesn't hurt. (Which is good, because if she hadn't turned off the pain feedback, hooo boy.)

Then she uses just enough of her power to - well, it's not really gluing it back together, but sticking the bit of bone back to itself with some squidgy bone bits (the technical term for it is chondroblast). Just a little, right in the middle, so it doesn't get any terrible ideas about wandering off again. And then she tapes the whole ankle right up so that nothing potentially jostles her very duct tape and bubble gum of a healing solution.

Then, as promised, she signs it with a little Uisa, just after the hangul of her actual name.

"'Kay, you're good, into the circle with you." By wheelchair. Obviously. "The pain will come back over time steadily as my nerve zapping fades, and absolutely no moving that ankle."

Permalink

She leans forward enough to look at the signature (without moving the ankle because she's not dumb enough to do that after literally just being told not to)

"I understand. Thank you. It's cool to get to meet somebody famous. Even if I wish it was under circumstances that make me look less incompetent better circumstances."

Ji-woo honestly has seen much, much stupider self inflicted injuries than this. Genuinely tripped, sought medical attention immediately, is obeying the only rule she has of 'don't fucking move it.' Good for her, excellent patient. Gold star.

"We do what we can in the time we're given," she shrugs, and that is all of the time Meghan has with Ji-woo, because she's now being rolled off. Sorry, Meghan's backlash, but there is an efficient medical operation to be run!

She's busy trying to figure out how to take a photo of the tape with her phone without jostling the ankle.
