Did you know that retinal detachment can occur spontaneously in the elderly or the very near-sighted?

Spontaneous Retinal Detachment. It could possibly knock Compartmental Syndrome off the top of my chosen Hurt list, just because I like how it sounds.

OH! And I have diagnosed myself with Mostly West Nile Meningitis which, for the sake of simplicity and familiarity, we are calling "Marv."

I actually feel much better, but I know that this is all just a trick, so I don't trust it.

Ahh, make more sense, no I missed that one. In that case, go for it.

Well it was more a degloving of the scalp when Justin went through one of the glass panels surrounding Brian's bedroom.

See, this type of injury happens more than people thinkn when there is a car crash and no seatbelt in use. Head goes thru the windshield and the scalp is easily lifted.

Reattaching it is not that big of a deal and plastic surgeons can minimize scarring and there is not a lot of actual mortal danger but the idea is just so gruesome and awful - well, I like that in fic. Later on I need for everything to be made better and No ONE CAN DIE!

But if I have to learn about these things for work, then someone needs to incorporate this stuff into stories.

I can see I have totally missed a lot of opportunities for assorted parasitic illnesses, malaria, altitude sickness and the like. Oh and frostbite even.
