Given the nature of today's curse, if you injure yourself at all, I'd strongly advise you to go to the hospital. Even a minor scrape or bruise can be deadly if the blood doesn't clot, and in some cases serious damage can be done by an injury that isn't even apparent-- internal bruising and bleeding are more difficult to detect, and therefore all the more serious.

It seems to be the clotting factor that's affected, and introducing more into the deficient system doesn't seem to do anything. So far the best bet seems to be to physically staunch the bleeding as best we can, and order transfusions for those who've lost more fluids...

Unless anyone has found better options?

I would recommend against using needles of any type. My own attempts at sutures only led to more bleeding... I've sent for some liquid skin adhesive to see if that would prove more successful.

I think it's a safer bet.

Definitely.

I hope that things are still manageable at the Hospital. Until my own condition improves, I'll be unable to help...

You were injured yourself?

It's busy, but the number of serious cases isn't unreasonable.

Do you have it under control?

For the most part... I have one of my employees picking up some supplies for me from the Hospital. I'll be sure to call in if things take a turn for the worst.

You're better equipped to evaluate your own condition than most citizens, so I'm sure you'll be fine.

Thank you, Doctor. Yes, I'm not overly concerned. I'm certain there are many other who are in far more dire a situation. I'm just sorry that I'm unable to be of any help.
