BABY TIGERS

[ In this isolated chamber, there are enough chairs around the rickety, rotten wooden desk to seat everybody. Some sunlight streams through the boarded windows to give enough light. You have pencils, pens, some scrap paper to brainstorm with, and a formal test sheet to put your final answers on. ]

►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!

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

1. What is the Hippocratic Oath?
2. What are The Four Humors?
3. If a headache is persistent and severe, what is a method of curing it?
4. If a patient has depression and schizophrenia, what is a method of curing it?
5. What is the fever that leads to death?

A test?

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

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...

Neither do I...

Bet I know the Four Humors, though.

I have no idea what that is.

It's mythology. Choleric, melancholic, sanguine, and phlegmatic! It's kinda a personality thing, too, but it also got used in medicine.

Then we'll use that!

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

So we've got... three answers? What about four and five?

I have absolutely no idea!

We could just make things up and hope it sounds right.

Isn't three out of five a failing score?

No, it's more than half.

Either way, we're gonna have to do something. What do we know about depression and schizophrenia?

Depression is being sad and schizophrenia is hearing voices?

[ I am so sorry ]

Ooookay.

What if we get someone to pretend to be the voices and they do their best to cheer up the person?

[no i should be saying sorry]

For some reason that doesn't sound like something that a medical professional would do

But saying just give them more pills sound like too broad of an answer...

Hey, just because it's not something a medical professional would do doesn't mean that it won't work. Besides, saying "pills" is waaaay too broad and it's not like any kind of pill is gonna help them feel better.

Hopefully the echo doesn't laugh at our answer...

[ Someone help these two please ]

So all we need is a fever that leads to death. I know that if the body's temperature goes too high, you could die?

Well... yeah. The only time a hot body is good is if you look good. Otherwise all you're gonna do is end up sick and probably dying.

She's probably looking for a specific disease, though, from how she's making it sound.

I don't know anything like that. Maybe my world really lacked in medical care because I have no idea for most of these.

I don't think I cared about medical care that much. [huff]

Let me go ask something.

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.

Edited 2014-02-08 21:53 (UTC)

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.
