Background

PHY-Y: A primer on receiving treatment, circulated in secret between Rhodes Island operators:

...that case, you're in luck. He'll fix you up and be gentle about it.

But if your primary doctor is Gavial, I have one piece of advice for you: don't try and be smart with her, just do exactly as she says.

If you've been treated by Gavial before, you know what I'm talking about, and I know you know.

But seeing as this primer is aimed at giving all you adorable, blank-slate newbies some advice from the deep end of the pool, I want you to read what follows very carefully.

Firstly: no matter what rumors you've heard, don't be scared.

Gavial is a professional medic who's qualified to practice.

Her medical expertise is a genuine thing of envy aboard Rhodes.

If she says she's going to treat you, but approaches you with tools that look extremely dangerous (including but not limited to hammers/drills/impact drivers), then stay where you are and do not move.

There is a very high probability she IS coming to fix up your wounds.

Of course, we can't rule out the scenario where she just seized a bunch of new toys from the enemy as spoils, and really wants to show them off to you, in which case you may express a suitable degree of admiration for her, BUT DO NOT GO TOO FAR, or she may beat you up.

Secondly: please, follow her medical instructions to the letter, 100%.

Don't complain no matter how bitter the medicine she made you take, because she means well.

If she's laid down strict dietary restrictions for you, you obey them perfectly, unless you have miracle Arts that let you hide what you've been eating from everyone forever, which you don't.

She's a good doctor who takes great responsibility for her patients, and if she finds you refusing to follow instructions, the consequences will likely be Very Bad.

The Rhodes Island Medical Department does not accept complaints about that.

Lastly: when you're wounded on the battlefield and need emergency aid, please report in to Gavial ASAP.

Otherwise, she may run out of anesthetics, in which case she's exceedingly likely to prep you for treatment using a technique she personally innovated and dubbed "kinetic anesthesia." It's been appraised by Medical as "tentatively safe, but patient experience has been relatively poor."

This author has been a casualty of said technique, and can VERY responsibly report there's a little more to the experience than "relatively poor."

Gavial: Gavial, Medic Operator of Rhodes Island, will protect the lives of her squad members using her special techniques.
