In light of the trip to Mt. Everest some of you seem to wish to undertake, and with consideration for how preciously few of us are trained medical professionals, I have decided to offer a first aid course at the Safehouse.

I will strive to make this as extensive as time will allow it to be, and anyone – regardless of their stance regarding mountaineering – is welcome to attend. You never know when this kind of knowledge might come in handy.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here.

ETA: [Bad username or site: clarke @ griffin] asked me to add that those interested in the trip to New Oslo might wish to consider learning the basics as well. I believe she is quite right – the fewer risks we take, the better.

This would be exceedingly useful. When do you plan to hold your lessons?

[ophiocordyceps]

Tomorrow. I'm not opposed to repeating lessons, should the timing intervene with work.

@angela.roberts

[unlucky7]

Thank you for offering this. I hope people take you up on it. Not only for Everest, but to know in general.

Need an assistant?

[ophiocordyceps]

If you're volunteering. I saw you mentioning that you had some practice, it would be quite useful to have that on board.

⟪ she's unsure how to react to the thanks –– she's mostly just doing what she's most qualified to do. ⟫

[stolenpeace]

As it happens, I am exceedingly free.

[unlucky7]

I have the time and the knowledge, it'd be a waste not to put it to use. It'll be a good refresher too.

[ophiocordyceps]

Then you are more than welcome to join. The more time you have, the more I can teach you. Do you have any previous knowledge?

@kylo.ren

[warfares]

I'd certainly be interested in availing myself of your knowledge.

[stolenpeace]

I am more knowledgeable with causing injury than curing.

@stephen.strange

[rehandle]

Thank you.

[ unsure he's ever meant that more in his life ]

[ophiocordyceps]

For sure. It's good to know there's at least someone with the background going up Everest.

[ophiocordyceps]

We start tomorrow. Any previous experience?

[ophiocordyceps]

You're welcome.

If you have anything to donate to the cause, let me know.

[ophiocordyceps]

How so? I could use a lesson in self-defence or two.

[rehandle]

I've donated the last six months of my life. They're all yours.

[unlucky7]

I have a suitable background, but I've never climbed Everest. Could be even nastier after a few more centuries of climate change.

[heliophilous]

i think i've been here for half a year and this is the first time i've seen someone offer this.

i'm gonna try and stop by. it'll be helpful.

( especially in light of what he was trying to organize himself. )

[stolenpeace]

If you need combat training, then I will only disappoint.

[ She has, however, observed many torture sessions. ]

[ophiocordyceps]

It was worth a shot.

⟪ arguably, some of caroline's most recent patients found themselves with their brains neatly removed. one could count that as 'torture' experience. ⟫

[stolenpeace]

If, however, you are ever in need of someone to oversee a flaying, then I might be of assistance.

Though I would prefer not to make a habit of it.

[ophiocordyceps]

That bad? Indulge me with some tales.

[ophiocordyceps]

I don't doubt it. Let's hope there's something worth finding up there, if nothing else.

[unlucky7]

Selfishly, if I make it there and back, climbing Everest will be enough for me. But some kind of answer would be nice.

I hope the New Oslo group is successful too. We can use all the data we can get.

[ophiocordyceps]

We do seem to be woefully low on medical personnel.

I might make it a habit, if the demand is there. So unless you plan on heading up Everest, there is no rush.

[ophiocordyceps]

Not at the moment.

But we always need people capable of making the less simple calls.
