[17:01] Genesis Barthelmess: looks like the gang is all here
[17:01] Marcus Firegrave: dunno what will be left... >.>
[17:01] Kitari Elfenbeim: I almost got caught "liberating" wires from the train again
[17:01] Marissa Murfin: body pices
[17:01] Marcus Firegrave: ummm
[17:01] Marcus Firegrave: maybe?
[17:02] Elspeth Gallais: umm dont see any handy
[17:02] Genesis Barthelmess claps twice.
[17:02] Genesis Barthelmess: Alright then
[17:02] Genesis Barthelmess: Lets begin.
[17:02] Genesis Barthelmess: We've got maybe a lot to cover, i'm not completely sure
[17:02] Genesis Barthelmess: And I still have to get ridiculously drunk and streak later.
[17:03] Marcus Firegrave: O.o
[17:03] Marcus Firegrave: WOOT!
[17:03] Lillyanna Avedon: he he
[17:03] Elspeth Gallais: hee hee
[17:03] Kitari Elfenbeim: if need practice ahead time.. we all patient
[17:03] Genesis Barthelmess: Welcoem to todays lecture everyone. For those of you who don't know me. I'm Genesis Barthelmess. Maker of fine weapons, former member of the pandora airship crew. And guest lecturer.
[17:03] Genesis Barthelmess: My goal in life is to make you suck less, and for those of you who don't suck, to help you be awesome sauce more than you already are. So with that said, lets get started with the lecture.
[17:04] Lux Tharnaby is Offline
[17:04] Genesis Barthelmess: Today we are going to talk about medicine. This class is not ABOUT what they do. Its not about how to mix a potion. It snot about how to realistically describe drilling a hole in someones head to releive pressure. this class is about the BULLSHIT mechanics of the archaic medicine we will be using
[17:05] Genesis Barthelmess: If any of you are assuming some realisitic medical techniques or advice, GTFO, this isn't that lecture.
[17:05] Genesis Barthelmess: marcus you bastard.
[17:05] Marcus Firegrave: XD
[17:05] Genesis Barthelmess: So then, lets begin with the nitty and the gritty
[17:05] Genesis Barthelmess: What is the purpose of medical rp?
[17:06] Genesis Barthelmess: anyone?
[17:06] Marissa Murfin: for fun hopefully
[17:06] Marcus Firegrave: depends ont he situation yes?
[17:06] Genesis Barthelmess: anyone else?
[17:06] Elspeth Gallais: to get rid of me nits?? *scratches head*
[17:06] Genesis Barthelmess: bang
[17:06] Genesis Barthelmess: correct on all counts
[17:06] Marcus Firegrave: analysis, culture studies or medical experimentation?
[17:06] Kitari Elfenbeim: like any other rp.. to enhance the story being played out
[17:06] Genesis Barthelmess: Very much
[17:06] Genesis Barthelmess: Kit, GOLD STAR
[17:07] Genesis Barthelmess: Its to have fun, and to advance your rp. It is /fun/ to get hurt.
[17:07] Genesis Barthelmess: Its engaging to have to be peiced back together.
[17:07] Genesis Barthelmess: But how many of us know the first thing besides "rub some dirt on it and go back out and play"
[17:07] Marissa Murfin: tho if youve gotten to me its too late :)
[17:07] Teanaran Calcutt is Online
[17:08] Marcus Firegrave: not necisarily marissa
[17:08] Genesis Barthelmess: I will tell you right now, I know both jack, and shit about most medical knowledg.e Yet In other sims i play a super scientist who does medical work. How? *gasp* why!
[17:08] Kitari Elfenbeim: if the relatives have enuff coins... its never too late....
[17:08] Lux Tharnaby is Online
[17:08] Elspeth Gallais: hee hee
[17:08] Genesis Barthelmess: Because I believe in bullshit medicine. And what it can do for you.
[17:08] Lillyanna Avedon: he he
[17:08] Lillyanna Avedon: Someone to heal my neck :P
[17:09] Genesis Barthelmess: So, for a start lets define medicine, in this case medicine will be any medical treatment, mystical or otherwise that may engage in for the purpose of affecting another person
[17:09] Genesis Barthelmess: So this means healing spells are technically medical treatment. Thats a differne class. Today we'll be focusin on quasi mysic, and ~hard~ medicine. Which is with the removal of most magical elements.
[17:10] Kitari Elfenbeim: archaic cyborging?
[17:10] Genesis Barthelmess: Medicine in my book.
[17:10] Genesis Barthelmess: I will say this if you want to kick ass, do some reasearch on the subject. find out what generally people di around that time if you like for some more back drop
[17:11] Genesis Barthelmess: but never be afraid to must make shit up. And beleve me, most of this is just making shit up
[17:11] Genesis Barthelmess: now then Question: is medical rp just for fleshy squishy things?
[17:11] Mas Sohl is Online
[17:11] Lillyanna Avedon: was blood leeting out of practice by now?
[17:11] Genesis Barthelmess: Blood letting was still used in small doses
[17:11] Genesis Barthelmess: it helps keep fever down
[17:11] Kitari Elfenbeim: blood letting and leeches still used in hospitals today Lilly
[17:12] Lillyanna Avedon: really?
[17:12] Kitari Elfenbeim: rare but is still used
[17:12] Genesis Barthelmess: Really.
[17:12] Lillyanna Avedon: weird
[17:12] Elspeth Gallais: and maggotts
[17:12] Leigh Huet: yep so are maggots
[17:12] Genesis Barthelmess: But it snot commonl practiced, its a wors case scenario in some places
[17:12] Kitari Elfenbeim: yipyip
[17:12] Marissa Murfin: ewww maggots
[17:12] Genesis Barthelmess: adn maggots and leeches are definatly used in cosmetic surgery
[17:12] Lillyanna Avedon: yup
[17:12] Genesis Barthelmess: but thats not the point, the point is...yes
[17:12] Genesis Barthelmess: Blood letting was used
[17:12] Nicolie Luv: actually I saw an episode of House where he used maggots once
[17:12] Lillyanna Avedon: know that and there quite useful so I've heard
[17:12] Lawrence Catseye is Online
[17:12] Leigh Huet: they clean up all the bad skin tissue cleaner than we ever could
[17:13] Nicolie Luv: that is what he used it for, this guy was burned really bad
[17:13] Genesis Barthelmess: around this time in the world a medical revolution was going on. Chemicals were begining to be understood
[17:13] Genesis Barthelmess: This is the age of DOSE THEM.
[17:13] Genesis Barthelmess: This is the age of "I have a book on that."
[17:13] Lillyanna Avedon: They eat dead tissue don't they?
[17:13] Genesis Barthelmess: yes maggots eat dead tissue
[17:13] Genesis Barthelmess: thats why they are useful
[17:13] Lillyanna Avedon: nods
[17:14] Genesis Barthelmess: So when someone comes to you all banged up
[17:14] Kitari Elfenbeim: 1891 is actually perfect for RPing "mad medicine" things like blood letting still common and xrays just being invented
[17:14] Angel Walters is Offline
[17:14] Genesis Barthelmess: i'm gong to tell you right now. If you are the doctor, there is no WRONG way to go about this. Not really
[17:14] Genesis Barthelmess: So now that we have the feel for it
[17:14] Genesis Barthelmess: lets get into some tips
[17:14] Genesis Barthelmess: herbs
[17:14] Genesis Barthelmess: wh can tell me about herbs?

[17:15] Lillyanna Avedon: nausia*
[17:15] Genesis Barthelmess: the answer is both "Yah herbs and 2 no one gives a shit."
[17:15] Kitari Elfenbeim: greatest thing about herbs is the patient probably "believes" they work
[17:15] Lillyanna Avedon: sick in tummy >.<
[17:16] Genesis Barthelmess: What leigh and lily both did is EXACTLY what you should do when giving herbs
[17:16] Genesis Barthelmess: You name the herb
[17:16] Genesis Barthelmess: and then you tell them what it is supposed to do for them
[17:16] Elspeth Gallais: usually the shape of the herb can dictate which part of the body it governs
[17:16] Lillyanna Avedon: ^_^
[17:16] Christiana Xevion is Offline
[17:16] Genesis Barthelmess: Here we can use the power of myth and suggestion from what we know form forklore for our mad medicine

[17:16] Genesis Barthelmess: Aroudn this time remmber we were still using DEADLY poisons heavily in our medicines.
[17:17] Genesis Barthelmess: NEVER be afraid to suggest arcenic in small doses

[17:17] Marcus Firegrave: chlorophorm
[17:17] Marissa Murfin: puts em out
[17:17] Genesis Barthelmess: Thes secret to bullshit medicien is to always SOUND like you have a plan
[17:18] Genesis Barthelmess: like you have an idea of whats going on
[17:18] Genesis Barthelmess: Your job is then to convie this to your patient
[17:18] Nicolie Luv: as long as you sond like it they will never know the differance
[17:18] Nicolie Luv: which is what I think most Drs do anyway
[17:19] Genesis Barthelmess: its always fun to push the stethoscope on someones ches tand go "hmmmm..."
[17:19] Lillyanna Avedon: and most will be playing along and have a measure of sepention of disbelif
[17:19] Genesis Barthelmess: "Well thats not good" is always a fun one to use.

[17:23] Genesis Barthelmess: the mechanics of bullshit medicine are simple, and the best part?
[17:23] Lux Tharnaby: Absolutely! Must keep notes!
[17:23] Genesis Barthelmess: each time you do something, make a note of it
[17:23] Genesis Barthelmess: and then refrence that, your cred goes through the roof if you keep refrencing the same things over and over agian
[17:23] Genesis Barthelmess: You get intoa mode, and a mode is really the key to any good process

[17:24] Genesis Barthelmess: I told you, we won't be doing what does what, what we are learning here is how to get the mood, how to present
[17:24] Genesis Barthelmess: so what /shouldn't/ we do?
[17:25] Genesis Barthelmess: Anyone, throw something out? You just got shot in the ass, or poisioned, and you go to the medical center. Okay, what shouldn't the medical person do...from an rp stand point?
[17:25] Genesis Barthelmess: We are looking for deal breakers here
[17:25] Lux Tharnaby: Refer them to a specialist?
[17:25] Genesis Barthelmess: Ooooh good one lux.

[17:26] Genesis Barthelmess: Your character can find out over time
[17:26] Genesis Barthelmess: but you yourself as the player?
[17:26] Genesis Barthelmess: you need to know that shit
[17:26] Lenora Casteel: "bandange them imporoperly and send them on their way with no antibiotics and stuff"
[17:27] Genesis Barthelmess: Well antioboitics and salves and crap are a mechanics thing
[17:27] Genesis Barthelmess: and a choice thing
[17:27] Genesis Barthelmess: Some doctors are basically chop shops
[17:27] Genesis Barthelmess: you come in
[17:27] Genesis Barthelmess: the grab things, bandage you
[17:27] Genesis Barthelmess: and then hope you don't get infected

[17:27] Kitari Elfenbeim rubs her scent on a ball of ground beef and feeds it to Fox
[17:27] Genesis Barthelmess: Also we came up with cures in 30 seconds
[17:27] Genesis Barthelmess: Exactly
[17:27] Genesis Barthelmess: DO NOT BE A MEDICAL RP PLAYER IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO SPEND SOME TIME ON IT
[17:28] Genesis Barthelmess: Even as a super scientist i stretched out my medical treatments
[17:28] Genesis Barthelmess: evne whenit was something simple like dermal regeneration, or detox. The devil is in the details
[17:28] Genesis Barthelmess: They got hurt to have fun, you heal people to have fun
[17:28] Genesis Barthelmess: 30 SECOND S IS NOT FUN NO MATTER WHAT MARISSAS BOYFRIEND TELLS YOU
[17:28] Lawrence Catseye: Haha
[17:28] Marcus Firegrave: XD
[17:29] Lillyanna Avedon: lol
[17:29] Marissa Murfin: glares at marcus
[17:29] Elspeth Gallais giggles
[17:29] Genesis Barthelmess: Also
[17:29] Genesis Barthelmess: don't asume someone knows what you are doing to them will do
[17:29] Lenora Casteel grunts, rememberin when genesis took two hours to examine her once
[17:29] Genesis Barthelmess: You loved it.
[17:29] Marissa Murfin: you have to tell them
[17:29] Kitari Elfenbeim: see Marissa I told ya men only good for changing oil in ya scooter and bringing home fresh duracells
[17:29] Genesis Barthelmess: Exactly
[17:29] Leigh Huet is Offline
[17:29] Genesis Barthelmess: If you scoff at someone for not knowing what you are talking about
[17:29] Lillyanna Avedon: he he if I can find a doc tonight :P
[17:30] Genesis Barthelmess: you are a dick
[17:30] Genesis Barthelmess: now there is a fine line
[17:30] Genesis Barthelmess: if you are playing an asshole doctor
[17:30] Genesis Barthelmess: thats fine
[17:30] Genesis Barthelmess: as long as the reveal comes later
[17:30] Genesis Barthelmess: but thats a style thing, i will recomend you DO NOT try to go over your patients heads
[17:30] Genesis Barthelmess: they will get fucking bored
[17:30] Genesis Barthelmess: If you bore me i'm leaving.
[17:30] Marissa Murfin: making shit up is more fun than knowing it all
[17:30] Genesis Barthelmess: And i'll probably talk bad aobut you behind your back
[17:30] Genesis Barthelmess: Exactly
[17:31] Lux Tharnaby: If you leave, I gotta charge you anyway
[17:31] Genesis Barthelmess: The rp doesn't stop when you get shot
[17:31] Genesis Barthelmess: in fact
[17:31] Genesis Barthelmess: in my book
[17:31] Genesis Barthelmess: its just begining
[17:31] Kitari Elfenbeim: so ya saying no RPing House?
[17:31] Genesis Barthelmess: Well
[17:31] Genesis Barthelmess: actually
[17:31] Genesis Barthelmess: house is a good example
[17:31] Genesis Barthelmess: why?
[17:31] Genesis Barthelmess: because he never gets it right the first time
[17:31] Genesis Barthelmess: though rping with a medical genius would be boring.
[17:32] Marissa Murfin: he always makes shit up and uses uncunventional methos
[17:32] Genesis Barthelmess: Exactly
[17:32] Faith Diesel: its quite fun doing a little research though to make your bullshit more interesting
[17:32] Marissa Murfin: methods
[17:32] Genesis Barthelmess: As i said before, and faith is good to remind you all
[17:32] Genesis Barthelmess: DO A TAD BIT OF RESEARCH
[17:32] Nicolie Luv: google is a good friend of mine
[17:32] Genesis Barthelmess: just figure out what they did
[17:32] Genesis Barthelmess: and then work from that
[17:32] Genesis Barthelmess: anything that adds to the suspension of disbeleif is fine
[17:32] Genesis Barthelmess: also if a player hits you up in ims
[17:33] Genesis Barthelmess: and tells you "thats now how they did it" or something to bbasically be a historical douche
[17:33] Genesis Barthelmess: go send them to deadwood
[17:33] Lux Tharnaby: My kinda town
[17:33] Genesis Barthelmess: or better yet, hand the character the suture equipment, and tell them to show you how its done
[17:33] Genesis Barthelmess: There aer sims, FUN SIMS that are there for historical reienactment
[17:33] Kitari Elfenbeim: then I can say "I tried everything.. sadly the wounds to greivous and your going to die"?
[17:33] Genesis Barthelmess: Kit, i give you permission
[17:33] Kitari Elfenbeim: sweet....
[17:33] Marcus Firegrave: XD
[17:34] Genesis Barthelmess: But this is not one of those sims
[17:34] Lux Tharnaby: Then receipt latin
[17:34] Genesis Barthelmess: We have witches for christ sakes. And floating balls of teeth
[17:34] Lenora Casteel pulls out her bible to give last rights
[17:34] Genesis Barthelmess: And marcus is apparently selling golem balls
[17:34] Marissa Murfin: lol
[17:34] Lenora Casteel waves her hand about "IM A WITCH! :D"
[17:34] Genesis Barthelmess: So i'm fairly sure historical accuracy is not something we are concerned with here
[17:34] Genesis Barthelmess: okay
[17:34] Genesis Barthelmess: So
[17:35] Genesis Barthelmess: anything else we should avoid doing?
[17:35] Faith Diesel: need to diceroll for dying but being crap at healing is fun
[17:35] Genesis Barthelmess: Being crap at healing /is/ fun
[17:35] Marissa Murfin: being right all the time
[17:35] Genesis Barthelmess: Gold star marissa.
[17:35] Genesis Barthelmess: If a wound looks complicated or a aliment is mysterious, go with it
[17:35] Genesis Barthelmess: take your time
[17:35] Genesis Barthelmess: fuck something up
[17:35] Lawrence Catseye: rp that you dont have the time to complete

[17:36] Genesis Barthelmess: Give yourself time, but make sure you can do it
[17:36] Lillyanna Avedon is Online
[17:36] Genesis Barthelmess: Because you actually make all your other healers look like crap too -
[17:37] Genesis Barthelmess: Anything else before we move on? Anyone?
[17:37] Kitari Elfenbeim: for all ya fledgling doctors out there... if ya get overzealous in amputating limbs that I can make some coin building a replacemnt for... Im not above giving kickbacks

[17:44] Kitari Elfenbeim: gotya
[17:44] Marissa Murfin: kk
[17:44] Genesis Barthelmess: the fact of the matter is that a medical rp is there for a reason
[17:45] Genesis Barthelmess: Its a two way street that is veyr fun
[17:45] Genesis Barthelmess: But the key is that as the medical worker you are responsible for the pace
[17:45] Genesis Barthelmess: Don't assume that the person you are working with even has an ANSWER for whats wrong or how to fix it
[17:45] Genesis Barthelmess: if they dont' give you one in im, when you ask, then make it up
[17:45] Genesis Barthelmess: and GO with it
[17:46] Genesis Barthelmess: So how do you involve others?
[17:46] Leigh Huet: use your dicsovery rolls
[17:46] Genesis Barthelmess: Say you are working as a team.
[17:46] Kitari Elfenbeim: well this my oppinion.. but if I "inspect them" and they dont RP back the injuries I see.... IM free to make up whatever I want
[17:46] Marissa Murfin: use tools and ask opinions
[17:46] Lawrence Catseye: call for help

[17:48] Lillyanna Avedon: ^_^
[17:48] Lawrence Catseye: oooh nice one
[17:49] Genesis Barthelmess: the point of this is not to get bogged down in the details
[17:49] Genesis Barthelmess: but to CREATE the details as you need them
[17:49] Kitari Elfenbeim muses on what happens when gives a vamp a blood transfusion
[17:49] Genesis Barthelmess: See my previous lecture on vampire
[17:49] Genesis Barthelmess: virus vampires infect
[17:49] Genesis Barthelmess: curse vampires, their blood is worthless
[17:49] Marissa Murfin: my blood is alien dunno what id would do to them
[17:50] Leigh Huet: depends on the vamp
[17:50] Genesis Barthelmess: I cover vampires in a lecture that should be up on the forums
[17:50] Genesis Barthelmess: We are running out of time
[17:50] Genesis Barthelmess: but
[17:50] Genesis Barthelmess: Extra human biology is fun
[17:50] Marcus Firegrave: vampires.. biting me? -remembers and giggles
[17:50] Genesis Barthelmess: always feel free toe xperiment or come up with functions for differen't things
[17:50] Faith Diesel: giggles thats a good point - some races need healing in particular ways
[17:51] Genesis Barthelmess: Werewolves can't stand silver
[17:51] Autumn Lynagh is Offline
[17:51] Genesis Barthelmess: also
[17:51] Genesis Barthelmess: they may change to and from their forms when hurt
[17:51] Genesis Barthelmess: be prepared for that
[17:51] Genesis Barthelmess: Vampires may just need blood
[17:51] Lawrence Catseye: dont cut me with a silver scalple -_-
[17:51] Genesis Barthelmess: Fairies? Well...good luck there
[17:51] Faith Diesel: what do you mean - we are easy
[17:51] Genesis Barthelmess: Bullshit medicne is just that. Bullshit
[17:51] Lillyanna Avedon: No iron?
[17:51] Genesis Barthelmess: But it sbullshit you ahve to be able to swallow at the end of the day
[17:51] Kitari Elfenbeim: careful with that comment Faith.. I might get ideas
[17:52] Genesis Barthelmess: Lkay
[17:52] Genesis Barthelmess: Okay i mean
[17:52] Genesis Barthelmess: Questions?
[17:52] Lillyanna Avedon: Nope I'm good ^_^
[17:52] Marissa Murfin: me too
[17:52] Faith Diesel: i need ass wings - be fun if they were steam punk - giggles
[17:52] Marissa Murfin: i have some
[17:52] Genesis Barthelmess: Okay marissa
[17:52] Genesis Barthelmess: floor is yours
[17:52] Fox Onizuka: I always try to do a bit of research into my RPs when I do do them, like why would cobwebs be usful for helping to stop bleeding.
[17:52] Nicolie Luv: nooooo
[17:52] Genesis Barthelmess: go for it
[17:52] Marcus Firegrave: same, but still laughing at that biting vampire comment XD
[17:52] Marissa Murfin: huh what ?
[17:53] Genesis Barthelmess: i mean ask your questions.
[17:53] Marissa Murfin: oh Im good
[17:53] Genesis Barthelmess: Oh.
[17:53] Genesis Barthelmess: well.
[17:53] Genesis Barthelmess: um.
[17:53] Skye Joseppe: i have one
[17:53] Autumn Lynagh is Online
[17:53] Genesis Barthelmess: okay
[17:53] Genesis Barthelmess: go for it witch
[17:53] Faith Diesel: did you talk about magic and healing?
[17:53] Genesis Barthelmess: OH FUCK. Good point. I'll talk about that after skye's question
[17:53] Faith Diesel: just meaning there are many types
[17:54] Skye Joseppe: if you are using magic to heal, should you use bandages as well or just your magic? should you mix the two together
[17:54] Genesis Barthelmess: Mixing magic and medicine is possible
[17:54] Genesis Barthelmess: expecially if the magic is there to help stop the bleeding
[17:54] Genesis Barthelmess: or strengthen the body
[17:54] Genesis Barthelmess: if a wound does't close all the way, bandages
[17:54] Leigh Huet: depends on your RP and be willing to accept they they may not be completly 100% cured
[17:54] Genesis Barthelmess: no if ands or butts. But magic and meciidne need a balnace.
[17:54] Genesis Barthelmess: Mosft of the time if you mix the two
[17:55] Genesis Barthelmess: use them as two diciplines, like...rather than sew someone, yu heal them magically to knit the skin
[17:55] Genesis Barthelmess: But in medical rp, unless you have a go ahead from the patient
[17:55] Genesis Barthelmess: don't heal them 100 percent with magic
[17:55] Genesis Barthelmess: EVER.
[17:56] Genesis Barthelmess: That isn't the point of going to the hospital. Magical healing is its own lecture...faith mark that down we'll have to talk about that
[17:56] Faith Diesel: okies
[17:56] Genesis Barthelmess: Effectively mysica componenets are always a good add to make the healing more dynamic
[17:56] Genesis Barthelmess: expecially when daling with extra human creatures
[17:56] Genesis Barthelmess: where wolves might need magical assistnace, for their wolf bodies
[17:56] Faith Diesel: i use combination of magic and medievil herbalist medicine
[17:56] Genesis Barthelmess: and medicine for thier human forms, or am mix of two
[17:57] Genesis Barthelmess: Faith ha a good point, the voodoo mumbo jumbo, and the witch doctor herbs are always good at this point
[17:57] Genesis Barthelmess: but spells...
[17:57] Genesis Barthelmess: ot be honest
[17:57] Genesis Barthelmess: id stay away from them
[17:57] Genesis Barthelmess: the purpose of spells is to SUPLIMENT technology. Its a different way of doing things
[17:57] Lenora Casteel glares
[17:57] Genesis Barthelmess: If you want magical healing, go to a magical healer, and go to thell because thats a different lecture
[17:57] Faith Diesel: i tend to use spells to make potions salves and teas rather than spells direct
[17:58] Genesis Barthelmess: Suport magic
[17:58] Genesis Barthelmess: yes
[17:58] Genesis Barthelmess: i stand corrected
[17:58] Genesis Barthelmess: support spells rule.
[17:58] Genesis Barthelmess: use those
[17:58] Lillyanna Avedon: ^_^
[17:58] Genesis Barthelmess: anything else?
[17:58] Lux Tharnaby: What about ilness of the mind, spirit and soul? (The maladies cross -mongers cannot heal?)
[17:58] Fox Onizuka: crop dusts everyone
[17:58] Lillyanna Avedon: so potions of healing with St aid are good
[17:58] Genesis Barthelmess: Psychological science
[17:58] Genesis Barthelmess: is its own lecture
[17:58] Marissa Murfin: good questions medicate them
[17:59] Genesis Barthelmess: Your standar medical doctor would need to just medicate to supress
[17:59] Lux Tharnaby: Bastards!
[17:59] Genesis Barthelmess: We'd need a lecture on bullshit psychology for that one
[17:59] Lillyanna Avedon: Well that's what strinks did in this period right?
[17:59] Elspeth Gallais: they tended to use shock treatment for depression and similar
[17:59] Kitari Elfenbeim: shock therapy
[17:59] Genesis Barthelmess: As far as spritiual ailments? the bullshit medicine we came up with today are primarily affects just the physical
[17:59] Kitari Elfenbeim: driled holes in head
[17:59] Genesis Barthelmess: Actually medical worker of the mind herded the diseased into camps
[18:00] Lillyanna Avedon: lol
[18:00] Genesis Barthelmess: the asylums
[18:00] Lillyanna Avedon: stick a leech on their head
[18:00] Genesis Barthelmess: and stuided them in an attempt to figure out how to correct them
[18:00] Genesis Barthelmess: usually it was chemicals
[18:00] Genesis Barthelmess: lots of chemicals most of them poisonous that were used to attempt to calm them
[18:00] Genesis Barthelmess: Lithum actually comes out of this age
[18:00] Genesis Barthelmess: as one of those poisons that helps
[18:00] Lux Tharnaby: Lover her!
[18:00] Elspeth Gallais: hmm i rather like the idea of being a lunatic
[18:00] Marissa Murfin: ya me too
[18:01] Genesis Barthelmess: Alrigt then.
[18:01] Genesis Barthelmess: 6 oclock on the dot
[18:01] Lillyanna Avedon: Nods
[18:01] Kitari Elfenbeim: there is several RL refernces during this time frame of serial killers being locked in asylums, cured, released... and then went back to killing in the London area
[18:01] Genesis Barthelmess: Yo ugys can feel free to keep this leture going if you want
