Hey there nonny! This is an interesting one. So, first thing to know is that sutures get left in place all the time in the medical world. For example, when a surgeon opens the abdomen, the underlying muscle is sutured back together. Sutures can be dissolvable, but with muscle groups, tendons, ligaments, etc., it’s also common …
Hey there! This really depends, but I’ll give you sort of a ballpark estimate with the understanding that specific injuries can make this take Much Longer™ than I mention. A typical admission after penetrating trauma to the abdomen would be about 7-10 days, but that’s partly (mostly) because once there’s any entry into the peritoneum, …
Hey there nonny! ….this ask doesn’t state it, but I’m going to assume that this person just straight-up looks like a human, except they have no real veins to speak of? And the human doc is trying to get blood in the normal, IV, vein-pokey way? There’s kind of a sequence of events that healthcare …
Hey nonny! The short answer is: not that I’m aware of. For something to be contagious, it requires a contagious agent (a virus, a bacteria, a fungus or spore, a prion disease, ….). Toxicological incidents, such as exposure to fumes or direct injections of non-live substances, are not contagious. However, what if the agent that …
Hey nonny, Without knowing anything about your healing liquid (Bacta?), I have no idea how it works. But, could they use a needle and inject it directly into the wound, and then close the wound? Best of luck, xoxo, Aunt Scripty from Tumblr http://ift.tt/2mguTVa
(Ear-anon) (Part 2) He’s forgiving towards her, wanting to spare other hybrids of her rath, which angers her more. She doesn’t want him to be a good person; she wants him to be bad so that he can be sent away. Hey there nonny. The psychology of this is completely outside the scope of this …
So here’s the stats. If a bullet enters the cranial vault, and enters brain matter, there’s a 95% chance the character will die. That chance goes up if the bullet goes from one hemisphere (side) of the brain through the other. Which means about 1 in 20 people shot in the head will live. They may …
That particular prosthetic is Science Fiction ™ and therefore outside the realm of this blog. As far as I know, there is no prosthetic on the market that can relay sensory information to the user; there are only ones that can respond to the user’s intentions/motions/impulses. Sorry! xoxo, Aunt Scripty from Tumblr http://ift.tt/2z8uutt
This really, really depends on what and how the zombies are eating. The heart is pretty well protected. It lives in a literal cage made of bone, and in a battle between teeth vs ribs, I’m pretty sure the ribs win. So the zombies are going to either have to rip out his heart to …
Hey there! This is a really interesting power to think about, and I think it could be so very destructive. Muscles are connected to other bones by ligaments, little threads of fibrous tissue that sort of keep the skeleton together. But muscles – all muscles, that I know of – are anchored to bones, too. …
