Unsealed: Posted to General Missive Network
Perhaps this is a bit forward of me, but my experiences over the last few months have indicated that there is a near-criminal lack of basic medical knowledge among the ninja and civilian population.
As such I, Dr. Yakushi of the Sound, will happily answer any medical questions you might have, no matter your village affiliation, from the hours of 3pm to 6pm, Mondays through Fridays. Yes, even the questions your parents or teachers are unwilling to answer. Yes, even things that might make you uncomfortable or embarrassed. There is an anonymous messaging option for that very reason. Yes, I can speak to most complications arising from Bloodline Talents (though depending on how unusual your abilities, it might be best to speak to your personal doctor or teacher, should your talents be considered a village secret.) It would be my pleasure, and duty, to answer your questions and decrease the number of preventable injuries within our communities.
So.
Ask away.
Some common questions to start us off -
Is scar tissue stronger than regular skin?
It is. However, each cell of your body can only replicate so many times. I would encourage you not to intentionally scar yourself for any reason.
How useful is medical jutsu outside the ninja world?
Very. Most humans possess at least a base-line amount of chakra which can be induced to speed healing. Furthermore, basic medical knowledge includes traditional as well as ninjutsu based healing. I would encourage everyone to learn at least a bit of the former. It can save lives. If you are interested, I can post information on the basics of CPR, Chakra Healing and first Aid as taught by the Sound.
Do ninja's have to eat more than regular people?
Using ninjutsu uses energy similar to that of regular exercise. The more you exercise, the more you need to eat. Similarly, the more you practice ninjutsu, the more calories you will need to consume. This is equally applicable to both male and female ninja. Starving yourself for any reason is idiotic and can lead to health complications which can negatively effect ones abilities. I recommend eating a balanced but varied diet, to ensure that you are receiving the appropriate amounts of micro-nutrients as well as calories.
Are condoms uncomfortable?
No. If your significant other uses this as an excuse to not wear them, they are lying and should be dealt with accordingly. Alternatively, if your find your preferred method of protection uncomfortable, it is likely that you are using the incorrect size. Please be safe when engaging in intercourse. The Sound already has too many orphans.
And because this is distressingly common -
I cut off my finger/hand/arm/head. Is it possible to reattach it?
Please do not do this. While an experienced medical professional can reattach and ocassionally regrow limbs, every surgery has its dangers. At the moment, I have a jar on my desk full of glass eyes and an entire sewing kit of sutures specifically for re-attaching fingertips. If you are a teacher or parent of a young ninja, for the love of all things holywatch your children while they are training. Just because doctors can reattach limbs, doesn't mean we should be asked to do so on a daily basis!

Then again, sometimes being forced to do something completely new and difficult can help one discover new skills. I would have never guessed myself to be an administrator if I wasn't forced into it. But I wish it wasn't so tedious.

Healing might not be glamorous work, but it is easy to test. There are always more people in need of help...
Ah, but what I wouldn't give for more time.

You'll just have to more tightly schedule everything it looks like.

But you are right, of course. Though if you ever discover a seal that can give me extra hours in a day...or erase my need for sleep, I would greatly appriciate it.

I will let you know if I ever get that skilled.
