Today, while making my rounds in and about the Medical Wagon, I discovered the three men who had been most severely injured during the collapse of the freight wagon. After assessing the injuries, I reported to (NPC Healer) Master Jacobi. With the help of thralls, the man with the internal injuries was moved within for surgery, while the one with the shattered femur was given preliminary treatment outside.
The man with the shattered left femur has had the bone set. Exploratory surgery will be necessary to recovery any bone shards. The bone may need to be stabilized with pins, depending on the extent and nature of the break. The man with internal injuries is currently in surgery to determine the extent of his injuries. The left side of his chest has a concavity in the rib area, and a punctured lung and spleen are suspected.
The man with the head injury is past help, and the Blue Sky Song was sung for him. A lethal shot of Valerian will be administered to ease his passing.
In other news, cots within the Medical Wagon are at a premium as pre-migration takes its toll. Dehydration and gorings from ill-tempered bosk are the most commonly seen injuries, and those with less severe ailments are being treated in the shade beneath the Medical Wagon to leave cots for those who are worse off.
