Medical Serve


Here we are going to cover the basics of your healing serve. There are a few general things you will want to keep in mind when your performing healing.
All wounds on Gor heal quickly and Goreans are very rarely ill Bones can heal as fast as 3 days
Tendons in as fast as 2 days
Bruises in as little as 1 day

All stitches should be checked and cleaned daily and removed after one day

always offer raw willow bark to chew on, acts as an anesthesia; also can give Them willow bark tea or valerian mixed in herbal tea produces the same effect

needles are made of bosk bone sharpened at one end to a point with an eye added in the other

thread is made from silk or animal gut

capture scent acts as an anesthetic when poured in rence cloth and placed over the mouth and nose, making the patient unconscious; tassa powder mixed with red wine produces the same effect

honey promotes healing

add green herbal powder to a bowl of hot paga and use this to clean wounds

chewing the brak bush causes vomiting

fire sticks are made from a metallic stick with a button on the side; when pushed, two flint rocks strike making a small flame

HEAT increases circulation. The application of heat to a still bleeding injury causes the blood vessels in that area to 'dilate' i.e. open. This will increase bleeding. Heat in NEVER applied to an fresh injury, note it is applied for example on a 'sore gut' if one suspects internal bleeding from a blow or a blunt trauma of any kind.

COLD decreases circulation. This is a Palace girls! We have ICE! Use it. The application of ice will have the opposite effect on the blood vessels of the affected area than heat would. It closes up the vessels to 'constrict'. This is why ice is recommended on fresh injuries, it will help control bleeding. If using ice, remember not to apply directly onto the skin, wrap in a cloth. You will ice in the back room of th cooler both chipped and blocked

Blood flow is subject to GRAVITY. In other words, a bleeding hand will likely bleed less if it is raised higher than the organ pumping the blood (aka the heart) It also means that it is best to treat a warrior lying down or reclined back than standing. It also means that when they turn light green and clammy, holding the feet up will help. You see, the feet and hands are NOT vital organs... if the bleeding has been significant enough to affect total volume, you need to make sure the main organs (brain/heart/kidneys etc.) get as much of the flow as possible.



The steps of a basic medical serve

  • assist the P/patient to the furs
  • if not sure of the wounds inflicted ask, taking careful note of the most serious wounds to be able to treat those first.. if a spar or raid is happening, watch and take careful notes of injuries
  • offer some raw willow bark for the P/patient to chew on
  • remove or cut away any leathers or clothing around the wounds
  • find the need on the list and give the offered solution
  • be very descriptive and list each and every step to ensure the healing will occur
  • the next day, make sure to check on the P/patient, change the dressing on any wound, check for infection




please remember to work together on all healing techniques.. do not openly correct a sister... if it is a big mistake, pm and have that slave correct her own mistake.. if it is merely a matter of technique, but the end result is the same, discuss after the emergency

practice time will be given to new slaves

no matter how skilled with medicine, slaves are still slaves and have no right to tell a Free not to spar or restrict in any manner.. instead, suggest the Free consult a Healer and explain why it is important for the Free to rest

remember this is Gor and healing works quickly.. scars disappear and rarely does a P/person die unless planned

if an untrained slave is assisting.. ask the slave to bring water.. hold the head of the Free.. something small, yet fulfilling
