Writing Traumatic Injuries References
So, pretty frequently writers screw up when they write about injuries. People are clonked over the head, pass out for hours, and wake up with just a headache… Eragon breaks his wrist and it’s just fine within days… Wounds heal with nary a scar, ever…
I’m aiming to fix that.
Here are over 100 links covering just about every facet of traumatic injuries (physical, psychological, long-term), focusing mainly on burns, concussions, fractures, and lacerations. Now you can beat up your characters properly!
General resources
PubMed: The source for biomedical literature
Diagrams: Veins (towards heart), arteries (away from heart) bones, nervous system, brain
Burns
General overview: Includes degrees
Burn severity: Including how to estimate body area affected
Incisions and Lacerations
Essentials of skin laceration repair (including stitching techniques)
When to stitch (Journal article—Doctors apparently usually go by experience on this)
More about when to stitch (Simple guide for moms)
Incision vs. laceration: Most of the time (including in medical literature) they’re used synonymously, but eh.
Types of lacerations: Page has links to some particularly graphic images—beware!
Puncture wounds: Including a bit about what sort of wounds are most likely to become infected
Wound assessment: A huge amount of information, including what the color of the flesh indicates, different kinds of things that ooze from a wound, and so much more.
Home treatment of gunshot wound, also basics More about gunshot wounds, including medical procedures
Tourniquet use: Controversy around it, latest research
Location pain chart: Originally intended for tattoo pain, but pretty accurate for cuts
General note: Deeper=more serious. Elevate wounded limb so that gravity draws blood towards heart. Scalp wounds also bleed a lot but tend to be superficial. If it’s dirty, risk infection. If it hits the digestive system and you don’t die immediately, infection’ll probably kill you. Don’t forget the possibility of tetanus! If a wound is positioned such that movement would cause the wound to gape open (i.e. horizontally across the knee) it’s harder to keep it closed and may take longer for it to heal.
Broken bones
Setting a broken bone when no doctor is available
General notes: If it’s a compound fracture (bone poking through) good luck fixing it on your own. If the bone is in multiple pieces, surgery is necessary to fix it—probably can’t reduce (“set”) it from the outside. Older people heal more slowly. It’s possible for bones to “heal” crooked and cause long-term problems and joint pain. Consider damage to nearby nerves, muscle, and blood vessels.
Concussions
Mild Brain Injuries: The next step up from most severe type of concussion, Grade 3
Second impact syndrome: When a second blow delivered before recovering from the initial concussion has catastrophic effects. Apparently rare.
Symptoms: Scroll about halfway down the page for the most severe symptoms
General notes: If you pass out, even for a few seconds, it’s serious. If you have multiple concussions over a lifetime, they will be progressively more serious. Symptoms can linger for a long time.
Character reaction:
Shock (general)
Treatment (drugs)
Treatment (herbs)
Miscellany
Snake bites: No, you don’t suck the venom out or apply tourniquettes
When frostbite sets in: A handy chart for how long your characters have outside at various temperatures and wind speeds before they get frostbitten
First aid myths: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Includes the ones about buttering burns and putting snow on frostbite.
Poisons: Why inducing vomiting is a bad idea
Dislocations: Symptoms 1, 2; treatment. General notes: Repeated dislocations of same joint may lead to permanent tissue damage and may cause or be symptomatic of weakened ligaments. Docs recommend against trying to reduce (put back) dislocated joint on your own, though information about how to do it is easily found online.
Current CPR practices: We don’t do mouth-to-mouth anymore.
The DSM IV, for all your mental illness needs.
Electrical shock
Human response to electrical shock: Includes handy-dandy voltage chart
Acquired savant syndrome: Brain injuries (including a lightning strike) triggering development of amazing artistic and other abilities

I am gonna say this once and for all.
If ANY of you reblog my Sasuke posts, BUT ship SNS, get out. Get the hell out!!
Me every time I read that Naruto saved Sasuke from darkness or shit like that
The greatest issue with shipping Sasuke or Ships that involve Sasuke isn’t that he’s shipped: no, it’s that his sexual orientation becomes his entire character; so either he’s pulling all stops to please his “woman” and be a model heterosexual man; he’s making heaven and earth meet to please his “man” and be a role-model gay man; or if he’s not accomplishing that, he’s actively scheming to come between Sakura’s other “potential” heterosexual/homosexual ships, and that’s just bollocks (no, Sakura Fandom, Sasuke’s never going to care who she sleeps with; it’s just you wanting very desperately for this character to give even the slightest bit of damn.) And in both the cases, it’s his sexuality that’s the whole character, not his political philosophy that ought to be front and center and with everything else in the background. (They don’t even use his sexuality in any creative manner; it’s just a bunch of clichés that they like and tropes that you can count on your single finger.) Basically, the second you make his beliefs secondary to the character, you’ve not only lost the plot but that’s also not Sasuke; and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that we state that, because it’s very true!
In fact, I challenge you all to unearth a ship-focused fan-fiction where there’s some semblance of plot structure and everything else, without homosexual/heterosexual shipping being the focus and shame not being attached to Sasuke’s canon decisions. You can’t because these stories are fashioned in a way that, if you take away that one “personality trait”, nothing else is built, works independently off it, or gets off the ground to establish anything else that’s important to the said character’s varied dimensions.
So don’t act shell-shocked when we tear down these lesser versions of the character that purely exist to drive some wish-fulfillment fantasy, and not an exploration of his belief system. They’re terrible from the ground up, and you can’t stop people from stating otherwise. Get used to this very valid criticism; because if you’re free to write them out, obscenely derivative works of an original work, we’re more than free to offer reasonable criticism as to why they don’t work. It isn’t that complicated to grasp any of this.
okay yes I love reddie
but
richie tozier is a little bit whipped for bill denbrough lets be real
"oh, the barrens aren't that bad. who doesn't love splashing around in shitty water?"
*in the fuckin sewer, the only one to follow bill in* "aren't you guys coming in?" wdym you wouldn't fill your shoes with literal shit because bill kinda wanted you to?
*first one to follow bill into neibolt even tho he complained about it and was scared as shit*
*notices the degree of bill's stutter every time he talks*
"look at me, richie!"
*bill punches him in the face* "shut up bill im busy-" "richie :(" "fuckin fine oh my god"
*first to go comfort him when he finds out georgie's really dead. literally immediately. hugs him before bill's canonical love interest even walks over there.*
if you even care.
richie tozier, as written by stephen king, once said, to or about bill denbrough:
“I keep trying, Big Bill,” Richie said. “I feel like, if I get good enough, someday I’ll earn your love.” He made dainty kissing gestures at the air. Bill shot him the finger.
Richie offered a large, sincere smile. "Thank you, Bill, for those words of support. The word ‘fuck’ was used two hundred and six times in your last book. I counted."
And there was something else: Bill was good. It was stupid to think such a thing (he did not, in fact, precisely think it; he felt it), but there it was. Goodness and strength seemed to radiate from Bill. He was like a knight in an old movie, a movie that was corny but still had the power to make you cry and cheer and clap at the end. Strong and good.
Bill was here, and Bill would take care; Bill would not let things get out of control. He was the tallest of them, and surely the most handsome.

Found this jewel of a video on Youtube and had to share it with all of you.
I am. Curious about how Sukuna could just. Feed Megumi his finger and Megumi could just survive it. Did Sukuna have any control over that? Did he simply hope Megumi wouldn’t fucking die ? I’m SO FUCKING CURIOUS
