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?

Sutures. Half the waiting room are standing around because they've got a boo-boo on their finger.

I'm recommending keeping anyone in showing severe bruising or joint pain, keeping both ORs on alert for internal bleeds where cauterisation fails. Keeping up with the patient flow is harder, but sure, tell them their scratches could be fatal. That'll calm things down.

Now I know how Sleeping Beauty must have felt.

I can' handle all this, it's too much.

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.

Seems pointless. Why not just use magic?
