I won't be staying here for very long. I have a country to run, after all, and my father can't keep me from that.

To any doctors on the community-- has your world developed any methods for treating burns that my world (or Larsa Solidor's word, for that matter) might not be familiar with? I can take care of it myself, of course, but I'd like to do it as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Sometimes, slower is more efficient.


...Have you ever heard the story of the Tortoise and the Hare?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I understand that. That doesn't mean that it's not possible to find something faster that's just as efficient as anything from my world.

... No.

It's a short story. Basically a Hare a challenges a Tortoise to a race. The Hare takes off and figures that he has time for a nap before winning the race.

While He's napping the Tortoise passes by and heads to the finish line, the Hare wakes up and tries to win the race anyway but the Tortoise wins.

Moral of the story: Slow and Steady wins the race.

the Healthiest solution to treating burns would be the slower way. True, faster may be just as efficient, but you'd still need to rest. The human body isn't built for a quick fix. It has to have time recover from the stress.

You're both overestimating the extent of my injuries, and underestimating my own knowledge and intelligence.

Which do you have? First, second, or third degree burns?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Most of them are fairly minor. Even the ones that aren't don't hinder me all that much.

[edogawa-4869.livejournal.com]

that doesn't really answer the questions.

Is the skin red or swollen? If so that makes it a first degree burn and the least severe. In which case, just run it under cold water for ten minutes.

If it's read ans blistered, or a little moist that means the tissue is damaged and you more then likely have second degree burns. Treat it the same way you would first degree burns UNLESS the burn is open, if that's the case seek medical attention.

And finally third degree burns, the most severe. If the skin is white or leathery. In this kind of burn all layers of the skin are burned and in which case you should seek immediate medical attention.

I know how to treat burns. I just wasn't familiar with your terminology, that's all.

[edogawa-4869.livejournal.com]

You can't treat all burns the same. You have to be able to identify them.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I've known how to deal with burns since I was five. I can identify their severity without using your world's terms.

Yes he DOES take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all.

[edogawa-4869.livejournal.com]

Well then, good luck treating them.

And don't do anything to stress yourself out. If they're more severe burns you'll want to give your body time to recover.

:P

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I know. And they're not.

So long as you know.
