<strong>Ruth</strong><br/><br/>All things considered, it could be worse. Head wounds always look horrendous but after you've seen a few you get used to the excessive bleeding and you either stop getting so worried about it or you find a different line of work. Ruth lets John take care of the disrobing while she carefully sifts through Anise's hair to look for the source, or sources, of the bleeding. That her assistant's eye appears intact is a godsend; no way in hell they could replace that. A little blood donation's not nearly as big a deal.<br/><br/>"Shit," says John.<br/><br/>Ruth blots the blood off her fingers on a clean rag. "Keep breathing, both of you. Anise, give me a deep breath - slow and careful. It's gonna hurt, but I need you to try. Just one deep breath in and out." While Anise deals with that she sends John on an errand to get his mind off the bio wreckage: "Stitches, ice, gloves, painkiller. Go."<br/><br/>There's not a whole lot can be done about the ribs. Injuries like this it's good to have John - or Anise, when she's not the patient - around to do the monitoring duty so Ruth doesn't have to babysit all the time herself. Just need to close up the lacerations on the scalp, get a feel for how many ribs are broken, roll Anise over to rest on the injured side - on some ice at first, take the cold away when the swelling goes down a bit - and set that clavicle. After that it's pretty much a watch and wait type situation, make sure things don't get worse while they heal on their own. She's gonna be bedridden for at least a week, probably longer.<br/><br/>The collarbone's the hard part. Before they can find a semi-permanent resting position for Anise she needs to figure out how bad that bone's gone. Which means making some hurt happen. If she waits for the painkillers to kick in it will be a little harder to gauge the extent of the injury. Better to be sure and unpleasant than maybe miss something being merciful.<br/><br/>So she's gotta check the range of motion on Anise's injured arm, feel her way around the bone to check for complications, all that fun stuff. Expect some squealing.
