Diabetic Foot Ulcer: Causes and Treatments

This article is originally published on Freedom from Diabetes website, available here. If we not treated diabetes in proper way, then it will be serious complication for our body parts. We have to keep our diabetes under control. Otherwise It will be complication for us such as nephropathy, neuropathy and so on. In this blog, we will learn about diabetic foot ulcer. Lets understand neuropathy first.

What is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy is a common issue for the diabetes peoples. This lead to foot injuries due to nerve damage cause by high blood sugar level. This nerve damage, particularly in peripheral neuropathy, diminishes sensation in the feet, making it difficult for individuals to feel pain, temperature changes, or injuries. As a result, minor cuts, blisters, or sores can go unnoticed and untreated, potentially developing into severe infections or ulcers. For the prevention, we have to first understand their causes.

Diabetic Foot Ulcer Causes:

High Blood Sugar Levels- Continues high blood sugar can damage nerves and blood vessels. It lead to reduce the sensation(neuropathy), and poor circulation.

Peripheral Neuropathy: Nerve damage from diabetes can cause loss of sensation in the feet. This means minor cuts, blisters, or pressure sores may go unnoticed and untreated, leading to ulcers.

Poor Circulation: Diabetes can lead to peripheral arterial disease (PAD), where blood vessels narrow, reducing blood flow to the extremities.

Foot Deformities: Conditions such as hammertoes, bunions, or Charcot foot, common in people with diabetes, can create pressure points that lead to skin breakdown and ulcers.

5.Inadequate Foot Care: Poor foot hygiene, wearing ill-fitting shoes, and skiping regular foot inspections can contribute to the development of ulcers.

Treatment for Diabetic Foot Ulcers?

While treating this, we need to keep bloog sugar level under control. This will help prevent nerve and blood vessel damage and promotes healing. Also we have to take care about wound, include cleaning, removing dead issue and proper dressing. Take antibiotics regularly prevent from infection. Surgical Intervention in this process remove infected tissue, and improve blood flow to the affected area. HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room. This therapy can enhance wound healing by increasing oxygen supply to the affected tissues.

Be away from Diabetic Foot Ulcers, take care about these things in your regular routine. Do regular check up for foot examinations if any issue is there. Wearing shoes that fit well and provide adequate support can prevent pressure points and injuries. Daily foot care including Washing feet daily, keeping them dry etc. Make sure that you are managing blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and medication can prevent complications that lead to foot ulcers.

So Be Hygienic, Control Diabetes, Safe Feet. If you want to learn more about this, please click here.

I look for a safe place for my parents to be safe from death 💔

Hello my friends , I am Ayat , I have been living in Egypt for the past sex months.

Today, I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, urgently seeking help. My dear parents, Atef Yousef Mahdi, aged 75, and Sanaa Abdelraheem Mahdi, aged 60, are currently stranded in Gaza, where the ongoing conflict poses an immediate threat to their lives. I am asking for your support to help secure their safety and to provide them with the essential resources they urgently need in these extremely difficult circumstances.

My family and I were forced to flee our home under relentless bombing, leaving behind all our possessions, clothes, and even our money. In desperate conditions, we journeyed southward from northern Gaza, hoping to find safety there or a way to escape to a secure location.

My father recently suffered an injury to his foot, making it very difficult to obtain the necessary medical assistance for him. He struggled to walk again, despite also suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure, which require several medications to regulate his blood pressure and manage his ability to urinate. His difficulty in walking adds to these challenges.My father is in great pain, and your support could help us secure the proper treatment he urgently needs.

My mother is struggling to make a living by selling small pieces of candy and a few homemade pastries to the children in the tents, in order to afford food amidst the severe price hikes due to the scarcity of proper food and clean water.

I need your support and solidarity so that I can reunite with my parents, or at the very least, provide them with a safe place and the food they need to survive during this difficult time. Thank you so much for your help and support. Please share this post as much as possible so I can help them. Thank you.

If you have a second to spare, please support @mahafamily2. Ahmed Khalil Al-Habil is trapped in Gaza with his wife Maha, their children Jowan and Khalil, and his parents Khalil and Naima. Since the beginning of this genocide, they have lost their home, their jobs, and their safety and have been displaced over twenty times due to the inhumane Israel. This family live in constant fear of death due to bombings and gunshots! Sadly, during one of these attacks, Ahmed’s father, Khalil, suffered an injury, breaking his pelvis. He has received no medical treatment for this due to Israel’s forgetting of hospitals in Gaza! This has forced Khalil to remain on his back, causing painful sores on his feet and back. There is also the serious concern that his right foot may need to be amputated due to his diabetes! The entire family’s health is deteriorating due to a lack of access to food and water. They are trying to raise funds to afford these vital necessities and eventually evacuate to find safety. They urgently need our help! Their campaign is at €11,148 out of their €40K target. Please, if you can donate anything at all, it would help this family get to safety. If you cannot donate, share their campaign as much as possible and make your own posts to help bring more attention to their campaign.

"No one is free, until all of us are" - Emma Lazarus, 19th century Jewish American Activist.

In collaboration with Operation Olive Branch's "pass the hat" movement, we would like to raise funds for one of the many families trying to evacuate Gaza to get to safety.

Our family is Nashwa and her family. (HERE'S THE DONATION PAGE LINK)

Nashwa is the owner of Beauty Garden Clinic "I had a clinic that I had started from zero and it became one of the most famous in Gaza, but suddenly everything turned to dust, my home got bombed while we were inside it, I got injured on my back." Fatma has Diabetic Foot condition and she has been injured (minor injury) in her foot. She was able to show it to a doctor but we think it could further develop without proper care.

Here's the message from the gofundme that one of her family members posted. It reads:

"Hello My name is Nashwa Ashour, I live with my mom, my sister in Law and her kids, I am the only breadwinner for them. I had a clinic that I had started from zero and it became one of the most famous clinics in Gaza, but suddenly everything turned to dust, my home got bombed while we were inside it, I got injured on my back , and all my certificates, clothes, everything I had, vanished in my damaged house .

now I am homeless without any certificates to start a job, all I need is your help, thank you"

Nobody deserves what the people of Gaza have faced in these past few months. Even if you cannot donate, please share this post, share her story and support her. Her goal is only 12,000$, as of writing she has only gained 3,794 of that. Here's a picture of her.

Please consider donating. Even 5$ makes a huge difference in helping her reach her goal and escape to Egypt.

HERE'S THE DONATION LINK!!!!!!

I know that this account is a Legend of Zelda AU account, but we are a human right's activist first and foremost. It is difficult, and ill advised, to pretend like everything is fine as innocent men, women and children are being slaughtered. Thank you to those who donate, to those who share and spread this cause through word of mouth. Thank you. Please help Nashwa reach her goal.

Hello, I am Amal, a mother of seven children ranging from 15 years to 7 months old. Due to escalated war conditions, I relocated to the south, leaving my husband in the north to care for his ailing father. I am eager to reunite with my husband and children as soon as possible. I have initiated a fundraising campaign to support our journey, and I look forward to your support and participation to collectively become a beacon of hope in achieving this dream🙏🙏.

https://gofund.me/9d6e3b04

Hello Amal! Thank you for sharing your family’s story with me, I hope I can help you all get out of Gaza safely!

Below is Amal’s story from the accounts pinned post!

I'm Amal, 33 years old. My husband Eyad is 39, and we have seven children: Hala (15), Nour (13), Abdelrahman (11), Mohammed (9), Omar (6), Ahmed (4), and baby Hoor, just 7 months old.

In the blink of an eye, we awoke to a devastating barrage of bombs. The war had begun, and soon tanks surrounded us as the northern Gaza Strip was declared off-limits. We fled immediately from the north, leaving behind my husband who had to stay with his elderly father who cannot walk. The presence of checkpoints and the prohibition of vehicles forced my husband to remain in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the north of Gaza.

My four-year-old son, Ahmed, suffers from diabetes. It is a constant struggle to find insulin injections and test strips. Weeks go by without being able to check his sugar levels, leaving me in fear of whether his levels are too high or too low.

I fled on foot, just ten days after giving birth. I carried my ten-day-old baby and my other young children, alone, fighting for their safety. A few days later, the northern Gaza Strip was completely isolated, leaving my husband trapped.

I cannot bear the panic attacks that Hoor suffers from the constant bombing

It was incredibly difficult to care for my children without my husband, moving from one place to another. I finally sought refuge in a shelter school in Deir Al-Balah.

My children have been deprived of their father, who used to provide all their needs. Their schooling has been halted, and their mental health is in ruins due to the war. My baby girl cannot get proper nutrition and is unable to sleep due to the constant sounds of bombs.

My husband remains in the north, experiencing severe famine. Periodically, I manage to contact him, learning that he is still alive, but his situation is dire.

We want to escape Gaza and survive this tragic war, to build a decent life for my family, providing the basics of life: food, medical care, and a safe home.

Your donations can make a world of difference for us.

Every dollar can help us escape this nightmare and start anew. Your generosity can reunite our family, provide essential medical care for Ahmed, and ensure my children grow up in a peaceful environment.

Your kindness and support mean everything to us.

May God bless you for your compassion.

Greetings & Gratitude Amal

Hello,

I'm Amal, 33 years old. My husband Eyad is 39, and we have seven children: Hala (15), Nour (13), Abdelrahman (11), Mohammed (9), Omar (6), Ahmed (4), and baby Hoor, just 7 months old.

I cannot bear the panic attacks that Hoor suffers from the constant bombing

In the blink of an eye, we awoke to a devastating barrage of bombs. The war had begun, and soon tanks surrounded us as the northern Gaza Strip was declared off-limits. We fled immediately from the north, leaving behind my husband who had to stay with his elderly father who cannot walk.

My children are the love of my life

It was incredibly difficult to care for my children without my husband, moving from one place to another. I finally sought refuge in a shelter school in Deir Al-Balah.

My children have been deprived of their father, who used to provide all their needs. Their schooling has been halted, and their mental health is in ruins due to the war. My baby girl cannot get proper nutrition and is unable to sleep due to the constant sounds of bombs.

We share our room at school with 40 people, lacking water and sanitary supplies

My four-year-old son, Ahmed, suffers from diabetes. It is a constant struggle to find insulin injections and test strips. Weeks go by without being able to check his sugar levels, leaving me in fear of whether his levels are too high or too low.

Ahmed's condition break my heart

My husband remains in the north, experiencing severe famine. Periodically, I manage to contact him, learning that he is still alive, but his situation is dire.

We want to escape Gaza and survive this tragic war, to build a decent life for my family, providing the basics of life: food, medical care, and a safe home.

Hello Amal, I am so sorry to hear of all you have been through. I hope you receive all the donations and support you need. ❤️

€2,998 raised of €50,000 goal

LOW ON DONATIONS!!

33-year-old Amal had to flee the northern Gaza strip on foot, just ten days after giving birth. Her husband Eyad had to stay behind to care for his elderly father who cannot walk, so Amal is now having to care for her seven children on her own:

Hala (15), Nour (13), Abdelrahman (11), Mohammed (9), Omar (6), Ahmed (4), and baby Hoor, just 7 months old.

They now share a room at a school with 40 people, lacking water and sanitary supplies. 4-year-old Ahmed has diabetes but has been forced to eat food harmful to him as the food he needs is not available. In addition, his blood sugar should be checked 3 to 5 times daily, but instead, due to the unavailability of test strips, Amal is only able to check it about once a week. Sometimes weeks go by without being able to check.

Meanwhile, Amal's husband Eyad remains in the north, experiencing severe famine. His situation is dire. Please help this family be reunited and help them get to safety.

Hello Amal! Of course, I'm so sorry for everything, thank you for reaching out I'll do whatever I can

Guys please donate and dharae Amal's gofundme, they have been vetted by 90-ghost and are low on funds with €881/€50,000

Here is they're gofundme:

And Here is Amal and her family's story in case you have not seen it:

"Hello, I'm Amal, 33 years old. My husband Eyad is 39, and we have seven children: Hala (15), Nour (13), Abdelrahman (11), Mohammed (9), Omar (6), Ahmed (4), and baby Hoor, just 7 months old.

I cannot bear the panic attacks that Hoor suffers from the constant bombing

In the blink of an eye, we awoke to a devastating barrage of bombs. The war had begun, and soon tanks surrounded us as the northern Gaza Strip was declared off-limits. We fled immediately from the north, leaving behind my husband who had to stay with his elderly father who cannot walk. The presence of checkpoints and the prohibition of vehicles forced my husband to remain in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the north of Gaza.

I fled on foot, just ten days after giving birth. I carried my ten-day-old baby and my other young children, alone, fighting for their safety. A few days later, the northern Gaza Strip was completely isolated, leaving my husband trapped.

My children are the love of my life. In the blink of an eye, we awoke to a devastating barrage of bombs.

We fled immediately from the north, leaving behind my husband who had to stay with his elderly father who cannot walk. The presence of checkpoints and the prohibition of vehicles forced my husband to remain in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the north of Gaza.

I fled on foot, just ten days after giving birth. I carried my ten-day-old baby and my other young children, alone, fighting for their safety. A few days later, the northern Gaza Strip was completely isolated, leaving my husband trapped.

My children are the love of my lifeIt was incredibly difficult to care for my children without my husband, moving from one place to another. I finally sought refuge in a shelter school in Deir Al-Balah.

My children have been deprived of their father, who used to provide all their needs. Their schooling has been halted, and their mental health is in ruins due to the war. My baby girl cannot get proper nutrition and is unable to sleep due to the constant sounds of bombs.

We share our room at school with 40 people, lacking water and sanitary suppliesMy four-year-old son, Ahmed, suffers from diabetes. It is a constant struggle to find insulin injections and test strips. Weeks go by without being able to check his sugar levels, leaving me in fear of whether his levels are too high or too low.

Ahmed's condition break my heartMy husband remains in the north, experiencing severe famine. Periodically, I manage to contact him, learning that he is still alive, but his situation is dire.

We want to escape Gaza and survive this tragic war, to build a decent life for my family, providing the basics of life: food, medical care, and a safe home.

Your donations can make a world of difference for us. Every dollar can help us escape this nightmare and start anew. Your generosity can reunite our family, provide essential medical care for Ahmed, and ensure my children grow up in a peaceful environment.

Your kindness and support mean everything to us. May God bless you for your compassion.

Greetings & Gratitude

“Hi, My name is Hala, I'm 18 years old, I live with my family in Gaza. I have finished my high school in 2023 with a grade of 94.9 in the scientific stream and began studies at the university,

which was destroyed at the beginning of the war,Unfortunately, my dreams and ambitions were completely destroyed.

We have all been displaced more than seven times to seek safety , We escaped death several times،When we were displaced to the south, this did not mean that we fled to safety, but rather the opposite. Everywhere around us there was bombing all around us and fire belts all the time. And also the malnutrition we suffer from. We have been here for 6 months, haven’t eaten something healthy.

All had dreams but they were completely destroyed after October 7th.My father was snacks merchant and his store was completely burned when we fled south to find safety, My uncle Was working in a hotel Which was completely destroyed and has no source of income left now , My grandfather and grandmother are diabetics and unable to walk. When we were displaced, they found it very difficult to move. They need wheelchairs, which is impossible for them to have now, and they need a lot of medicines that are indispensable, but we had to replace them with very low quality and perhaps inappropriate alternative medicines. We cannot afford to pay the money to get out of this devastating war. We have survived death several times and have been displaced several other times from one place to another to search for safety. We now do not have enough to pay the money to leave Gaza.

My grandfather's condition deteriorated during the war. He was very tired, and we discovered that he had water in his lungs, water in his foot, and swelling in his feet. There is no necessary treatment for him, and there are no highly qualified doctors and no hospitals. Now, I only want to save my grandfather's life as quickly as possible.

Why did we think of this fund raising?

This is the only way to survive as we have to pay $5000 for each person to cross borders to safety.

Wish you could help us.

I wish you help me and save us.”

Chapter 6: The Diagnosis

Spider was bored. But that was the least of his problems…

Two weeks in a hospital room with nothing to do except NOT go crazy. Well, crazy as in not let out his new unpredictable side. Quaritch checked on him daily as well as a very limited staff of doctors. After those two weeks with no sign of Miles, the colonel felt secure enough to reintroduce Ja. The teen didn’t say anything when the team medic came into the room, only readjusted his arms wrapped around his knees and nodded awkwardly as a greeting.

Ja reassured Spider there were no hard feelings and that his presence was purely professional. He wanted to help the boy understand what he was experiencing. Quaritch theorized that Spider would be more comfortable in the presence of the recoms due to his upbringing. Yes, he’d grown up with other humans but those traitors could barely call themselves that due to their loyalties.

”It’s called dissociative identity disorder.” Ja said as he sat at Spider’s bedside. Quaritch stood at the foot of the bed, arms crossed and gauging the boy’s reaction. The colonel hadn’t even known his genetic predecessor's son was on Pandora and he’d thrown him into the lion’s den without a second thought. A sixteen-year-old boy versus the ruthless might of the RDA. He had to ignore the regret and focus on the present…

”Sounds like a fancy way to say I’m fucked in the head…” Spider said quietly. His voice was sad and empty.

”No, not at all.” Ja reassured him, putting on a small smile for a brief moment before continuing with a more serious tone, “But it is a serious mental health disorder that we can’t ignore. It’s also known as multiple personality disorder. I’m sure you can guess why.”

The colonel felt his brain reeling at the memories of his interactions with Spider’s new personality: Miles. He couldn’t even feel proud that the kid chose that name so proudly. ‘Miles’ was strong, immovable, and highly defensive of Spider. But he was also violent and unpredictable. Miles didn’t care who got in his way; he would destroy anyone he deemed a threat to Spider. But Spider’s safety wasn’t completely in the forefront of Miles’ mind as evident by how he acted without concern for his physical condition.

”So I’m just fucked in multiple ways……awesome.” Spider said, pulling his legs even tighter to his body. So many thoughts rushed through his head. Physically, he felt fine. He’d been in the hospital with lots of rest and solid meals for a couple weeks. He even mentioned a headache, he was quickly rushed to a CT scan and given pain meds soon after. But emotionally? He was terrified. He was still not fully understanding this diagnosis.

”Spider, it’s not about being fucked up.” Quaritch said, his tone equal parts firm and caring. Unlike when Ja spoke and the boy avoided eye contact, he looked up to the colonel when he chimed in. “It’s about knowing and understanding this condition. And acting accordingly.”

”Will it go away?” Spider asked quietly. Quaritch looked at Ja, prompting Spider to do the same. “Like…you can cure it, right, doc?”

Doc was certainly a nicer nickname than ‘wet nurse’ as Miles had called him. Ja wished he had a better answer…

“Spider, I’m sorry. Even with where medical advances are, the brain is still too complex to just ‘cure’.” Ja said, wanting to sound more comforting as the kid visibly deflated and buried his face in his arms. “But the brain is an organ like anything else. Mental health is just as important as physical health. And when you know the problem, it’s easier to control. Do you know what diabetes is, Spider?”

Spider didn’t lift his head up, but he did shake it from side to side in his arms as a ‘no’.

”Diabetes is a condition where a human’s blood sugar level is not properly regulated by their body’s natural process. A medicine called insulin is administered to control it. Modern medicine has discovered ways to permanently control it with implants but not everyone can afford it back on Earth so a lot of people still have to take insulin every day. It doesn’t go away but they can control it.” Ja explained.

”So, is there medicine I can take to control this?” Spider asked, lifting his head a bit and sounding hopeful. Taking medicine every day for the rest of his life sounded like a pain but he would at least be able to live his life. Maybe, escape this circle of hell called Bridgehead City someday. But he wouldn’t feel safe trying to run away…even if he did pull it off, how would he react to his friends? Would he be violent towards them or the science guys or the rest of the Na’vi? That terrified him more than anything…

Ja went quiet and looked to his commanding officer for assistance on this one. The medic had given the entire squad the quick version of what dissociative identity disorder was. The conversation that followed was a free speech conversation but it didn’t go anywhere.

They were on a mission to find Jake Sully. The kid should be left with the medical staff and scientists now. He wasn’t their problem since he hadn’t given them any useful info on the enemy. He was a liability now. Maybe it would be better if the RDA just locked him up for good.

His squad, aside from his old friend Lyle, didn’t understand Quartch’s feelings on the matter. He didn’t have to give his opinion for the corporal to know his bland tone was forced or that the way he ground his teeth while squaring his jaw was very much a ‘human colonel’ cue that he was upset. Even if these squad didn’t have a connection to the kid, they should be respectful that their commanding officer did.

”No, tiger. There’s drugs to control symptoms but not the DID itself.” Quaritch said, those big brown sad eyes looking back at him. It was like looking at a puppy begging for scraps. He leaned forward on the side rails of the bed, creaking under his weight. “But we’re gonna figure this out. Mental health…stuff…it can be handled in its own way. Right, doc?”

”Exactly!” Ja said, finally able to have a genuinely hopeful tone. “YOU are in control, Spider. You are the core identity. ‘Miles’ is an alternate personality.”

”He was always there…wasn’t he?” Spider asked, sounding unsure. Scared even.

He thought back on all the times he was scared or angry as a young child. When he wanted to hit someone or throw something in rage but didn’t due to the consequences.

Ja sighed and shrugged a bit, “I can’t say for sure. I’m sure the trai-…people who raised you kept track of your medical history growing up?”

Spider shrugged and it made Quaritch’s blood start to boil. Did those human traitors not care enough about the humans being born on Pandora to keep track of those things? Their growth, their health? Wouldn’t the kid have at least been a good ‘experiment’ as the first human born on Pandora?

“We only have five months worth of medical records for you in RDA archives.” Ja said.

”What?” Quaritch and Spider said simultaneously.

The good medic opted to look at Quaritch to explain but Spider listened just as attentively.

”Monthly checkups when Paz went in for postpartum care. Despite the backlash from the initial pregnancy announcement, a lot of people changed their tune when Spider was born completely healthy and Paz recovered faster than most new mothers.” Ja explained.

Spider felt a new warmth spread through himself hearing about his mom. She sounded like a tough woman. Made him proud and a small smile pulled at the corners of his mouth.

”Paz was an amazing woman.” Quaritch remarked and, though he only knew her reputation, Ja nodded in agreement.

Ja looked back to Spider, “You might have had preexisting signs of this condition. The fact that you can remember when Miles is in control to some degree is even rarer than the condition itself.”

”I can’t say I remember…” Spider said, finally letting one arm loose and put his right hand to the side of his head, fingers slipping in his locs, “…it’s more of a feeling. Like…something’s off. Like I know I did something wrong…”

”You haven’t done ANYTHING wrong, Spider.” Quaritch said firmly, ear pinning back, “You understand me?”

”I bit someone’s face…” Spider said flatly, giving the colonel an unconvinced look. He hadn’t seen the guy who’d made the mistake of trying to fasten a strap across his chest when Miles was on the loose. But he heard plenty of rumors how savage he’d been in the strike. Miles had managed to sink his teeth into the man’s cheek and lower jaw, tearing a flap of flesh off that was barely hanging on when it was stitched back into place.

“I’m not saying bad shit hasn’t happened but you’re not at fault.” Quaritch elaborated. Spider was a feisty one, but he didn’t have the heart to hurt someone for no reason. THAT much Quaritch had learned about the boy in the short few weeks.

”Did all this happen because of that demon machine?” Spider asked suddenly with a growl. He gripped his head a little tighter, closing his eyes. He could feel a headache starting behind his right eye when he thought about the neuroscanner.

”It’s a possibility…” Ja said cautiously, glancing at Quaritch.

It was more than a possibility in Quaritch’s mind, probably in Ja’s too. They’d seen the brain scans after each session in the neuroscanner. They physically saw the changes in brain activity. Ja explained that the scans focused on probing the frontal lobe where memory is stored. However, he also explained that this is the brain’s primary storage for personality traits. If they were forcibly prying into that part of the brain, it was inevitable that cracks would spread.

”Soooo…” Spider started, closing his eyes tightly and turning into his own hand, “You kidnap me…torture me…break my brain…and NOW you want to help me?”

”None of this was planned, kid.” Quaritch said weakly. “I would’ve put an end to it.”

”Before or after the torture?” Spider spat out, moving his left arm down to grip the starchy fabric of the sheets. “Maybe a little torture would’ve been ok? As long as you got what you wanted, right? But you let it go too far and now I’m broken. Useless to you and dangerous to others! Awesome…”

Quaritch stared at the boy, unable to respond. Yes, he’d been on board with the neuroscanner. But not the four sessions he’d been subjected to. He’d been present at two of them, including the last one he’d stopped when his concern for the boy’s wellbeing surpassed following orders. It would be a poor excuse to divert blame and he knew to say he didn’t agree to all the sessions wasn’t enough to make up for the damage done.

”You’re not useless.” Quaritch said instead, “The team still needs to learn what insults you’re spittin’ out in Na’vi.”

Spider scoffed and rolled his eyes.

”I’m workin’ on it, Spider.”

”On what?”

”Gettin’ you back out in the field.”

Spider looked up at Quaritch, a strange look in his eyes. He looked excited at first but tried to hide it. He was worried it was just an empty promise.

”First, I want to get you out of this room. Sound good?” Quaritch asked. Not that he intended to stop challenging Ardmore on this, but he wanted the boy to be in the loop and have some say in it. If he didn’t want to leave the hospital, he’d accept it with grace but still move forward with the next step in his plan…

”I don’t wanna go back to a cell…” Spider said quickly, his voice cracking in an embarrassing way. The hospital room wasn’t exciting but it was better than a prison cell with four plain white walls, a hard metal platform with barely a padded mat to sleep on, and a toilet in the corner for those perverts behind the cameras to watch him use.

”Not a cell, I promise. You’ll stick with me.” Quaritch said. He put on the most reassuring smile he could, even though he still had a massive obstacle in the way of General Ardmore. “I don’t make promises I can’t keep, kid.”

This promise was nonnegotiable.

The blood on my hands scares me to death (Toshiki Kasumi, Munechika Takado & Sentaro Kyogoku) (Shorts)

This is for @voltagefandomproject

TW: Mention of death, losing patients and suicide

Toshiki Kasumi

Words counting: 300

Dr. Kasumi closed the door of his office and put away his jacket. He wanted to relax but couldn't. So, he walked in circles in his office, trying to be as discrete as possible and not make enough noise to be heard by his colleagues from ICU. He sat on his seat, then stood up the next second. Dr. Kasumi didn't remember checking if he closed to door with the key. He had to go and do it.

The moment the cardiologist's hands touched the knob, he froze. The metal didn't feel cold. It was warm, nearly as warm as a living human. No, no, no! Toshiki Kasumi couldn't stand it. Minutes ago, he met his best friend's parents at his grave. "If it's not the Angel of Death," they said to him. Kasumi couldn't see it, but he could feel it: the blood on his hands. He had to do something about it. Where was the sink? WHERE WAS THE DAMN SINK?

The head of EICU tried to open the door, but it was locked. The beautiful man nearly broke down the door while trying to escape his asphyxiating room. He could swear that the blood of his dead patients hit his face but couldn't do anything about it when his hands were dirty.

"It's today," Dr. Takado whispered when he saw his boss rushing from his office to the bathroom in the on-call room. He froze with his eyes on the door. His lips got as thin as a needle. One, two, five, ten minutes passed, and Dr. Kasumi returned. The orthopedist's eyes traveled from his face to his hands. They were red and with a rash. The same happened the last year and the year before the last. And would probably happen the next one too.

Munechika Takado

Words counting: 370

Dr. Takado opened his eyes and threw aside the blanket he messily put over himself two hours ago. Why did he go home when his entire life was in the hospital? He didn't do enough yet again. Where did he leave his car keys? At least he was smart enough not to get in his home clothes. Dr. Takado didn't have a home. He had no right to own one after all he did. His money was made out of blood, flesh, and tears. He didn't have the right to use them.

The head of the EICU let out a sigh when he heard the door of the headquarters opening and closing loudly, followed by heavy steps. He didn't need to leave his office to know that the doctor who had left less than three hours ago was back. However, he stopped writing when he heard a barely audible mumble from the other room. When he got closer to the door, the words became clear enough to be understood.

"Where did I put the patient's file."

After another minute, Takado planted himself in one of the multitudes of empty seats, surrounded by textbooks, papers from the file, and a running computer. He had to know if there was a way to save the patient's diabetic foot attacked by gangrene. What if, a few hours before the surgery, someone discovered a way to save them? What if he missed a "Nota Bene" from his textbooks that said the recovery without the amputation was higher than he had thought?

But no, it was just like Dr. Takado knew. The amputation was imminent. He left the office and walked away while looking at his hands. The orthopedist was thought to be one of the best in Japan, and even in the world. However, the number of limbs he cut off was too high to make him proud. Why his bloody hands were still on their places while kids had to learn to walk with no legs?

"The safety nets on the roof aren't put there only for the patients," Dr. Ekuni wrote on his board, covered his face with his arm, and tried to get enough sleep for both him and Dr. Takado.

Sentaro Kyogoku

Words counting: 271

CPR on kids is made with only one hand pressed in the middle of their chest. The frequency of the compresses has to be around 100-120 and their depth between 4-5 cm.

Dr. Sen was used to performing CPR so much that he could last around ten minutes without being replaced by someone else. He was more than sure that he could last twice that time. Though, he couldn't confirm it, being surrounded by empathetic and well-taught colleagues.

But there was one thing about CPR Dr. Sentaro Kyogoku couldn't get used to - stopping it for declaring the moment of death.

It was ten minutes since the pediatrician fell on his knees in front of the child he had tried his best to save from cancer for more than a year. Ten minutes since he tried to convince the God he didn't believe in, to give their soul back. Dr. Sen failed this time, like many others. He wouldn't hear the kid complaining about chest pain in the morning. However, he would hear the sound of their ribs contracting while trying to fall asleep for two hours.

People had told Sentaro Kyogoku that he looked like an angel, and unlike Kasumi, they didn't add "of death" afterward. But of what use were their words if he couldn't save every child in the world from suffering? Of what use was his face when he was losing five patients a day?

The latex on Dr. Sen's hands stopped him from feeling the warmth living in the kid's body. And now that it was gone, it was no use because the warmth also disappeared.
