To All

[nadine_he_loves]

Hi.

It's Nadine Cross, a lot of you probably remember me as the Summoned healer in Cadens. Which I still am, but I have an important update on that front.

Instead of operating out of my apartment, I have an actual medical office down the block from Mag's Inn now.

Salves and Stitches is fully set up to handle minor to moderate injuries, illnesses, poisonings, broken bones, and some minor surgeries. I'm fully stocked with tonics, potions, elixirs, poultices...any sort of herbal or apothecarial remedy. And I'm a medical student at the Academy of Medicine with a full set of tools and equipment, and a room for recovery for those that need more than a patch and go job.

And unfortunately, there's plenty of us here who can vouch for my experience.

I'm still not charging, part of this is because local doctors are expensive and a lot of us aren't exactly rolling in money, but there's a donation box now. And I'll take any sort of donation, really.

Thank you and I hope you don't need my services that often.

You still give out candy though right?

[nadine_he_loves]

Don't worry, there's a drawer of candy.

I'm not cruel.

[righteously]

Sweet, can't wait to check it out the next time I get my ass handed to me. I give it like a week, tops.

[nadine_he_loves]

This is why I had to open an actual medical office.

I swear half of you have no sense of self preservation.

[righteously]

Never heard of it

( haha funny jokes just kidding......... )

[cointosser]

It has been exceptionally beautiful to see you get to this point. Of course I wish you all of the success you deserve.

[Being a healer for free is still a career, all right.]

[nadine_he_loves]

We'll revisit the topic of my success if I actually make it through med school.

But thank you. I couldn't have done this without you.

[cointosser]

Of course you will! I won't allow a moment of thinking otherwise. You're far too brilliant.

I truly believe you could have, but I have been honored to help.

[thearchangel]

Well, there's a mark I'll have to make on our map.

If you're up for cross-species work.

[nadine_he_loves]

I'm here to help all of us.

But it would be great if you could come by and let me take some samples, so I have a base 'normal' to test against if I have to. I'm only learning about human physiology and biology.

[thearchangel]

Sure. Makes sense.

[Also, whatever Nadine needs to do probably won't be worse than living onboard with Mordin Solus...]

I'll tell you what I can, but I'm no doctor.

[nadine_he_loves]

Oh it's just basic stuff, really. A blood sample, some questions about your diet and how quickly you naturally heal, a list of your organs and bones...if you have bones.

And I can work out a basic anatomical reference sketch to work off of. Just so I have something to check so I know how everything should look. That way I can tell what's wrong and how to fix it, if you need me to.

[thearchangel]

We have bones, don't worry. Scales, plates and bones. Probably should warn you, though - turians bleed blue.

[Not that he thinks Nadine is going to freak out or anything, but it can't hurt to mention ahead of time.]

I can stop by when you have time.

[nadine_he_loves]

See, that's exactly the kind of thing I need to know. Blue blood is normal, it doesn't mean you're dying.

But really anything you can tell me about how you work would be helpful.

[thearchangel]

Blue is definitely normal. But it probably doesn't bode too well if there's a whole lot of it where it shouldn't be.

[Isn't he funny.]

Well... we're mildly immune to radiation.

[nadine_he_loves]

I think that goes for everything that has blood. Probably.

Also good to know!

[thearchangel]

What about those blood-eaters someone mentioned recently? Maybe they just dropped their lunch?

[Garrus you're not as funny as you think you are.]

[itookashot]

Nadine's the best, everyone take note.

[nadine_he_loves]

Thanks, Jesper, I appreciate the vote of confidence.
