This is just a quick poll to check what people's thoughts are on the current medical system and Saline. I didn't see much to do with the medical system in the Confirmed Upcoming futures in DayZ, So this was a way tos see what the community thought. Personally I would like to see a hardcore medical system and I think saline should be temporary.

Great Ideas, I love them! I personally hope that the medical system becomes so in depth that having a full time medic is warrented. ^_^

Pretty much what I was thinking, It is a temporary way of keeping a patient alive until you have more time to use a more permanent procedure.

Logging out with handcuffs kills you, so rest assured while he won't consume that delicious 3 course meal, he is back on the coast.

I love this! It would make being a medic a full time job! I also think that, lets say you didn't have a thermometer, you could make a rough estimation, such as, "It feels hot". Essentially with some(not all) tools you could still attempt to do the job, but with less accurate results.

I have a few questions about blood and saline: 1. Do saline bags give you a permanent transfusion of blood or does it drain away over time. According to my fact checking in real life it is only a temporary solution to provide volume(when used for this purpose). 2. If it does give you a permanent transfunsion, should it be changed to better reflect what saline bags do in real life. I think the DayZ team did an incredible job with the blood transfusion system, and it would pain me if that was rendered obsolete by saline bags. It would also add another degree of difficulty to the game if saline bag transfusions where just a temporary solution until you could enter more desirable circumstances where a more permanent means of transfusion (blood bags) could be used. 3. Finally I wanted to know how blood expiration works, how long it takes to do so, any means of delaying it and any other information. This is my first post so If I did anything that should not be done please tell me underneath, Thanks for your time! If I am wrong about what saline bags do please inform me, I asked my Mom(Doctor) :P TL;DR 1. Saline bag blood transfusion give permanent blood or temporary? 2. Should it be permanent or temporary? 3. How does blood expiration work?

Bump to see if anyone has further info on Saline.

Does anyone know whether morphine fixing broken bones has been replaced by splints, do they both work, or is morphine just a temporary solution?

I still haven't firmly established whether it is permanent or temporary, if anyone can point to some concrete evidence that would be great! :D

Thanks, but are you talking about real life or in game?

Exaclty my point, saline bags are so powerful they make regenerating blood extremely easy, rendering blood bags, a mechanic I would like to explore, obsolete.

I agree that it is realistic enough, but if the saline bags give a permanent boost to blood then they essentialy render the entire mechanic of blood bags obsolete.

Nice story, I do hope Combat logging/Ghosting is fixed soon :( . Anyway, enjoy some :beans:
