OOCSunnRisers = initiates, SunnSon/SunnDaughter = Junior, SunnFather/SunnMother = Senior Monks
SunnFather Ziasla scowled once more. He had a pile of tools on or near Ronan's little study desk. One was a large pack that had a ton of tools in it, a stretcher broken down, and then a small pack. Ronan's desk contained a journal, parchment, ink, and quills. The Monk scowled again, wondering how he was going to get the student to sit still as he wrote diligently up on the chalk board.
"You are a healing steward. As such you must learn the following vocabulary... I know this is the boring part, but write it down and learn it. As we go through some of the techniques, you will need to know these terms." The SunnFather said in a rather bored voice.
Fractures- Closed = a crack in the bone that doesn't cause splintering of the bone. (might not be easily detectable)
- Compound = a break in the bone where the bone has splintered. (might erupt from the skin, normally visible)
Pulse
What is it? It's the pulsating of the veins as the heart pumps blood through them.
How can you tell? You find the 11 pulse points. What are the most common pulse points? - Inside the wrist
- Either side of neck
- Over the heart
Bandage = The wrappings used to protect a wound.
Wound = Any damage to the structure of a living organism
Bruise = The darkening of the skin, usually accompanied with tenderness or pain, of a living structure
Healing = The ability to correct any condition that makes a living organisms normal function impossible.
Tourniquet = a device made of fabric strips varying in length used to stop bleeding by wrapping around the limb. Sometimes a peg is used to slip into the wrapping and twist it until the blood stops flowing. These devices can result in the loss of the limb if the device is not removed promptly.
Stretcher = Any canvas or clothing stretched out using poles that can be used as a platform to transport a patent.

The Monk sighed, wondering if Ronan had any questions. He hated initiate classes, he really did. They were so... dull... so boring.
"Thats about all the vocabulary you will need for today. Shall we start talking about the four life saving steps?" He asked, then wrote on the board again...
Four Life-Saving Steps
Restore Breathing
Stop Bleeding
Protect/Treat The Wound
Treat For Shock |

The SunnFather sighed, glanced out the window, and wondered if it was time for lunch yet. Then he yawned, glanced at Ronan, and said...
"Any questions?"
