I assume this means 'til sundown or 24 hours.'

What about CPR on a mermaid/merman?

Also I wonder if Terramagne has any more unusual body configurations - sphynxes, harpies, giants, headless horsemen, zombies/undead (of various types)? I am in a mythological mood it seems...

Skink and Pythia may have three-chambred hearts, but I'm not sure how that will affect CPR (or if it will cause additional problems).

We've already seen problems of human medics treating wings, and I suspect 'normal' bird traits might get labeled as brittle bones or fever.

It might make sense for Ansel and Janine to take an animal first aid course in case something happens to Turq (maybe his foster family too).

I that stone giant lady might need special first aid skills. I have /no idea/ what health weirdness the mollusk soup-lady might develop - she's mashing up two different phyla, for crying out loud!

Also, CPR or near drowning with Nerissa or Velvet? They* doesn't even breathe thru their mouths (and cannot close their trachea -breathing holes- if they fall in water), and if they're over a certain size and anything conks out their Required Secondary Powers, they could suffocate, or be crushed by atmospheric pressure. (Best I can think of for CPR would be an oxygen tent, but I don't know if their atmospheric ratios need to be very close to human ones.) And fractures are more serious with an exoskeleton than an endoskeleton, because if your exoskeleton is broken that doubles as a gaping wound (while endoskeletal fractures are not necessarily open-air).
*applies to Velvet in bug form.

I suspect it will become reccomended practice for primal soups and differently first aidable persons to wear medalert jewelry, inform friend/roomates/frequent aqquaintences of possible training, and list preferred specialists to call...if they are comfortable doing so.

Also Dr. Infanta or Kraken may want to fund the development of custom CPR dummies...
