Lessons in medicine - Callista and Rai

The night was long, would be longer still as they sat in Rai’s apartment. She had gotten a medical dummy and started with the very basic lessons first. Treating starvation and dehydration.

This is a saline drip, your going to want to get him on this as soon as possible, you need to completely rehydrate his system. This can take around forty five minutes to run through so either have him in a place secure like Markus’s ship, or back at Marts.

After he has had time to settle and recover, your going to need to keep him warm, his body will not have the energy to keep him warm, so you will need a heated blanket, start him on broths, this unlike hydration will take some time depending how diminished he is. After a few meals, some crackers, rice, scrambled eggs…he may not eat much at first…let him set his own pace, he may not be able to stomach too much at once. He will know his boundaries, though even then he may try and overeat…don’t let him have too much at once…

Electrical burns, for your part are gonna be easy, rinse the area off with water and bandage it, he will likely need to see a specialist to see if there’s lasting nerve or tissue damage, you won’t be able to help with that yourself.

Any open cuts…goes over the steps of cleaning the lacerations, using the dummy for this, then using a fake needle injecting the freezing agent. Then slowly begins stitching it up, showing her how to do a proper medical stitch, then makes her repeat it step by step several times, taking more then two hours to get it down pat where Rai feels comfortable with her hand at it

Alright…this last one I am gonna teach…I have never taught before…so please…bare with me…pulls out another needle with a green substance and injects it into her own arm

Now, this is a…near harmless poison. Not enough to do anything serious to me. Now…focus on me…don’t see me though…focus beyond that…within me…focus within and find the the heart…the blood…right down to the cellular level…now focus…and find what doesn’t belong…waits till she confirms she has found it Now…draw it out…use the force to pull it from me, and no it wont hurt…Slowly as she focuses, Callista under her guidance manages to pull the poison from her system…and into a nearby vial as Rai corks it Very good. You have just cured poison…that same skill goes for disease…though forgive I am not going to repeatedly poison myself for practice…you can do that on Tattooine…Its where I did most of my own practice on myself.

They spend the rest of the night learning how to detect fractures, breaks, infections and sickness, how to use a medical scanner, how to properly dress and treat wounds and fielding any questions she may have before they both fall asleep mere hours before dawn. The night had been long, but much was definitely learned
