>>Sort of. She's good enough to draw things, but not always good enough to get precise details. Shiv ran into that issue.<<
I wonder how good Shiv is - he could draw a skweletal system and might be able to draw other things with references (i.e. anatomy pictures) and descriptions. He coudmaybe do portraits if anyone is interested (maybe only 1-2 people at a time, so no one melts down.)
>>I don't know of any historic centaurs in Terramagne. It seems like a far stretch for something to occur naturally. <<
You've got many merfolk, seraphs, vampires, a canocephalus and one naturally-occuring centaur. A natural centaur isn't neccesarilly more difficult to get, once you get past the high-risk birth process. (Then again, Ancient Greek ones may have had some way to get blessings from one of the three childbirth goddeses...) Furthermore the ancient Greeks were very smart and a lot of their monsters look like mad science mashups.
>>There are sort-of-useful substitutes for clotting factors and plasma, but they're best used for people who can't use a regular transfusion or there isn't any available, and they only work to a certain point.<<
In Terramagne, I'd suggest combining the fake plasma with oxygen-carrying nanotech, or gengineered 'domesticated' O- blood cells designed to be hypoallergenic. Cloning a tiny amount of existing blood could be exactly matched to the patient...
>>It's not just crocodiles, lots of scavengers and some predators use that.<< That could make a good lesson on food safety: What did I tell you about feeding the humans corpse-wine? Now take this bucket, get Bob to the infirmary to have his stomach pumped, and you just got volunteered for infirmary cleaning dutuies until he's better. But he's the one who ate it! I'll remind him to check for food compatibility when he fells better, but you offered the food, and you're still upright, so hop to it!
>>Not to mention chocolate. >_< <<< Or promitherine bug spray and cats - when it is wet it affects cats, and gives them horrible seizures. (Neurotoxin, safe for humans and dogs while wet/dry, safe for cats when dry, but I'm super cautious with my old guys, one of whom already has a different seizure disorder.)
It might be reccomended practice for ERs in big cities or areas with many primal soups to have the local vet/zoo vet on speed dial.
