I can absolutely see magic not being able to correct genetic or congenital conditions. It can make sense for developmental delays aswell. But something like missing a limb from a traumatic injurie or blindness due to macular degeneration… There is no reason a mid level adventurer or powerfull character would not just use magic to heal or fix it.
Maybe an injurie by a powerful lich, or since kinda of cursed weapon that makes it impossible to fully heal with anything short of a wish spell…
Poor people on the other hand, should absolutely have debilitating injuries and disabilities that will never be fully fixed due to magic being expensive.
Am a medic. Had a similar call, but dude ended up having a rare tumor on his pancreas called and insulinoma. They produce and hold a bunch of insulin and can occasionally rupture and flood your system with insulin. Ofcourse we didn’t Know he had one at the time.
We had a non Diabetic PT that we found with a glucose that just read low. So 30< with our glucometers. Dumped 100 of d20 into him with absolutely no changes. Ended up infusing 4 more bags of d20 into him during transport. Got him up to like 80 and then watched him become unresponsive again 5 min later. Checked again and found it to be back to 40. He was in a room a few min later. Normally Im glad we don’t cary d50 anymore that shit was like using a sledge hammer to hammer in a tack nail. But this was the one time d20 wasn’t cutting it.
Anyways, glad you are alive. Shit can be scary.
I think the main issue is that people expect a magic fix. This is a common problem in the world today. Many things are massively overhyped and then turn out to be a huge disappointment to many people because they are not as perfect as the hype lead them to belive.
I belive these glasses can be a useful tool to some one that struggles with color blindness. But just that. A tool. Not a fix. By understand what these glasses can actualy do and their limitations someone with color blindness can potentially get a lot more information what the hues and colors they wouod normally struggle with. They won’t however maks them suddenly see in perfect color.
I hope they help your wife, and I belive that if she uses them as an aid, not a fix, they will help her a lot.
Best of luck.
Dumb knee jerk reaction. Having said that, cops are not medical personnel and do not have the training to identify ExDS compared to other presentations and uncooperative behavior.
They should not be calling any behavior that. They should just say the jumbject displayed hostile behavior and did xyz.
EMS has to get better about ketamine doses and when to use K verses just versed.
This realy is the key point imo.
There are people out there that can give a 100k+ gift to their partner other.
According to Google there are about 1.3 million households that make over 500k a year in the United States. That’s not a big number compare to the total population but it’s a big number.
Those families and many others are able to afford something like that if they want too. Notice the homes in those commercials are always very nice aswell. If you cant afford that, then you are simply not the target audience.
I know i sure as hell can’t.
