RULES

[leadstodeath]

►You have two hours to answer all questions.
►Teams who do not answer all questions may leave with the flu.
►Answers will be judged based on “correctness” (from Sepsis’ point of view), though don’t worry if the answer isn’t right – she loves to laugh.
►Brainstorming/team interaction will also be judged; the more everyone is involved, the better! Have fun together!

QUESTIONS?

[leadstodeath]

Sepsis is still playing with her makeup and leeches back in the main room if you need her.

Re: QUESTIONS?

[secretbooty]

Yooooo, hey!

Can we get a book or something? Yarrow and I remember a grand total of jackshit when it comes to medical stuff, so this test doesn't seem all that fair.

[leadstodeath]

Nope! Nobody else gets special treatment, even if they know jackshit. Just think about it. Be practical. Best guess! Brainstorm!

I like seeing people try, y'know.

[secretbooty]

We are trying!

We don't know anything about disease names, though. How the hell are we supposed to answer that kind of thing? Your test is kind of unfair for amnesiacs in general! [huff]

[leadstodeath]

Then look forward to my next event, sugar! It'll be fair for everyone equally, knowledge or not.

Re: DISCUSSION

A test?

Re: DISCUSSION

[scrapthis]

I don't even know if I'm any good at tests.

Re: DISCUSSION

[secretbooty]

Neither do I...

Bet I know the Four Humors, though.

Re: DISCUSSION

[scrapthis]

I have no idea what that is.

Re: DISCUSSION

[scrapthis]

Pretty sure the Hippocratic Oath is the thing where doctors agree not to hurt patients.

As for the headache question... take pills?

I hope you have something better than what I've got...

Re: DISCUSSION

[secretbooty]

Then we'll use that!

As for headaches, though, painkillers and maybe a good nap.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pawper]

People with headaches should also be given plenty of water, I think. Not drinking enough isn't good for you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[scrapthis]

We'll add that to the answer.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pawper]

Stress could also be the reason.....or it could be part of the reason. So maybe also add in something about taking it easy for awhile?

Re: DISCUSSION

[pawper]

[Has been here the whole time, staring at the questions.]

I feel like I should know some of this....

Re: DISCUSSION

[secretbooty]

Anything popping out at you especially?

Re: DISCUSSION

[pawper]

Two....you guys figured that out already.

[Approving smile!! See, you tsuns need a dere teammate with you at all times.]

But I think also four?

Re: DISCUSSION

[secretbooty]

Four? What should it be, then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[scrapthis]

We need help with four and five. Badly.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pawper]

[drawing from earlier on in the discussion-]

If someone was really sad all the time, the only way to cure that would be to show them kindness all the time! They can't help being sad, right? Just like they couldn't help having...I don't know, two broken arms. You'd help someone with two broken arms carry things, so it's only natural to help a sad person by trying to cheer them up.

Eventually, the person with the broken arms would heal, and so would the broken heart of the sad person.

[scribbling out answers:]

[1. What is the Hippocratic Oath?
Something where doctors agree to not hurt patients. It's an oath, so there's probably some huge issues with breaking it! That makes sense, considering doctor and all.
2. What are The Four Humors?
It's mythology, but it was used for bodily fluids and personality. I know it all because we had personality quizzes based on this kind of thing! Choleric, melancholic, sanguine, and phlegmatic.
3. If a headache is persistent and severe, what is a method of curing it?
Painkillers, naps, plenty of water in case of dehydration or whatever that thing is called, and take it easy.
4. If a patient has depression and schizophrenia, what is a method of curing it?
Have people pretend to be the voices, because schizophrenia is all about hearing voices isn't it? Have people pretend to be the voices and have them say encouraging things to try to help keep them calm. Then, since it's gotta be pretty bad, right? Give them brain surgery that'll improve the problem.
5. What is the fever that leads to death?
A full body fever. Like when you get all kinds of infected wounds that make you really sick because they weren't treated.]

How does that look, guys?

[she's totally adding hot and bothered on later though]

[though, this next part is hastily scribbled in, like it wasn't meant to be there and it had to be added super last minute:]

Alternatively, I bet some people have died from too much sex, right? What if they got way too hot and bothered and died because they couldn't relieve themselves? It's like having a fever, isn't it? Being in love (or lust) is like a whole body fever.

I get that the answers are pretty different, but both aren't impossible are they?
