Sorry to all of you who are patiently waiting for the final chapters of my WIP. I’m in the hospital again (developed a hiatal hernia that had me rushed to the ER because of pain and low O2 sats). Now, I’m pretty drugged up rn so anything I write for “Tender is the touch” has a high likelihood of making zero sense. I’ve literally been trying to write this post since yesterday but I keep going in and out sleep and waking up to find I’ve written nonsense.

I’m still struggling to breathe and the new tracheostomy will probably happen soon in the next week or so, before I have the hernia repair surgery. The anesthesiology team are worried that my airway won’t tolerate an endotracheal tube very well, too much scar tissue.

Honestly, this all really fucking sucks. I don’t want any more surgery and I don’t want a new trach. Being in the ICU with its sounds and smells is super triggering for my medical trauma, tbh. I’m so tired and I’m so scared. But I am grateful for my sweet, angel of a nurse who has been sitting with me when she has time to help me through the extreme anxiety and panic attacks. She’s been holding my hand and giving me cool cloths for my forehead. She’s even told me stories about her little baby, and shared photos with me, since I told her I love babies. It’s helped a bit. It’s a good distraction at the very least.

Please send any good thoughts, vibes, prayers or whatever you prefer to send. I need good vibes for better seizure management (already had two tonic clonic seizures since being admitted to the hospital yesterday morning), good vibes for my heart to continue to handle the extra stress my body is under right now, and good vibes for the hernia surgery I’m going to have in the coming days.

Thank god for the cocktail of heavy meds that are keeping me comfy and calm and the extra breathing support I’m receiving now to help with the air hunger.

Hopefully I’ll be back to my writing sometime in the next week or so. I have to remind myself that these hospital stays never last forever. Thanks for all of your continued patience. 💜

(Hope this wasn’t just one big long wall of nonsense-text. lol)

The Benefits of Telemedicine for Healthcare Providers and Patients

Telemedicine, the practice of delivering healthcare services remotely, has become increasingly popular in recent years. With advances in technology, patients and healthcare providers can now connect from anywhere in the world, providing greater convenience and access to care. Here are some of the benefits of telemedicine for both healthcare providers and patients:

Benefits for Healthcare Providers:

Greater efficiency: Telemedicine allows healthcare providers to see more patients in less time, as they can conduct appointments remotely without the need for in-person visits.

Improved patient satisfaction: Patients appreciate the convenience of telemedicine and are more likely to be satisfied with their care.

Reduced costs: Telemedicine eliminates the need for travel expenses and reduces the cost of maintaining a physical office space.

Greater flexibility: Healthcare providers can conduct telemedicine appointments from anywhere, allowing for greater flexibility and work-life balance.

Benefits for Patients:

Greater convenience: Patients no longer need to travel to a healthcare provider’s office, saving time and money.

Increased access to care: Telemedicine allows patients to receive care from healthcare providers who may be located far away, providing greater access to specialty care.

Improved patient outcomes: Telemedicine can lead to improved patient outcomes, as patients are more likely to follow through with their care plan when it is convenient and accessible.

The Cost Of Humanity: The Price Caitlyn pays

**Spoilers For All Of Arcane**

The discourse around Caitlyn's fall from grace and eventual redemption continues to be all over the place. I honestly struggle to think of examples from recent media that can compare when talking about the complexity and humanity of her arc, yet people continue to paint her with their broad-stroke, virtue signaling generalizations. Things like this, are why I started doing this in the first place.

Because as much as I have come to love doing these deep dives, and these character analyses, and how I learn along the way and learn new insights from all of you, peoples determination in disrespecting such a masterfully crafted story that is so full of heart, and depth, offends me to my core. As I have said repeatedly throughout my posts like a grouchy nerdy broken record, GOOD STORIES MATTER.

This is not about ships, it is not about favorite characters, and it is not about your right to like, or dislike her character. If you feel questioned by this post, I am not questioning your opinion of a character, I am questioning your ability empathize and see the humanity in a twenty-four year old girl, who has had every pillar upon which she bases her perception of the world VIOLENTLY changed.

To that end, what I am discussing this evening is the cost of Caitlyn's mistakes regarding her assuming the role of Commander and what follows. This is not about how she redeems herself, although I have spoken on that and do feel they did a masterful job in achieving it. This is not a deep dive into her fall from grace, the causes, or rather or not I believe it was justified. This is solely to address the following tidbit of lunacy and all of its variations that are still floating around.

"So Caitlyn's arc is that she becomes a war criminal and gasses kids and goes full KKK and she gets to ride off into the sunset with Vi with the only consequence being an eye patch?"

Physical:

As the easiest of consequences to measure, let's take a look at the effects Caitlyn suffers to her body as a result of her mistakes. For this I will focus on the battle at the end of the show, although she is certainly wounded in various ways in the commune.

Maddie's Betrayal- We will speak more on this when I move to mental, but Maddie literally hits her in the head twice with a rifle stock. Concussions anyone? Skull Fractures?

Stabbed - Stabbed in the stomach with Ambessa's blade up to the hilt. Now I am not a doctor and freely admit that I know nothing about the severity in the wound in terms of placement. And in a world with shimmer healing and such things obviously we can't strictly hold to real world rules. But a simple google search suggested the following as possible long term complications of such a wound: " intestinal obstruction due to scar tissue adhesions, intra-abdominal abscesses, bowel perforation, delayed bleeding from damaged blood vessels, abdominal hernias, chronic pain"

Kicked- Kicked square in the midsection with a knife in her gut. Seems healthy

Head slammed into concrete- Ambessa using her skull-crusher legs sweeps Caitlyn off of her feet slamming her head into the ground (Please Note: Caitlyn is shown clearly struggling at this point tremendously to rise)

Kicked Again- Once again kicked in the midsection with a knife in her gut

Ankle- Ambessa pins Caitlyn's ankle to the ground by force and kicks her leg out from under her before backhanding her

Headbutt- After dazing her with the backhand, Ambessa full on headbutts her with her mask on

Kicked yet again- This time completely off of her feet

Loses her left eye- Her sacrifice to stop Ambessa.

Returning to the stab wound- She did all of this with the knife in her. Tearing and exacerbating that wound.

This was one fight. Don't mistake me, Caitlyn has become an absolute warrior as the show has gone on and is an amazing fighter. But she twenty four, and only a short time ago was still very much in her sheltered life. Ambessa Medarda is a LITERAL WARLORD.

Mental/Emotional:

**I'm sure there are things I'm going to leave off of this. But this is just what I am thinking of in the moment. This is NOT a bashing on her list. This is what I feel the kind and courageous woman we know she always been is going to have to work through in the aftermath.**

Violet- Thankfully she and Vi have found their way back to one another. And while I love their reuniting, I don't think its unfair to suggest there is still quite a bit of healing ahead of them. Vi was not without blame in what happened between them (not justifying what Cait did to her at all, just that neither of them are perfect and were going through a terrible time). But ultimately Caitlyn has to make peace with the fact that she left the woman she loves crying alone in that chamber, and that that heartbreak sent Vi into a spiral that very easily could have killed her. When you add to that the loss of Vander, Isha and Jinx in Vi's life these are all things a woman like Cait is going to struggle not to blame herself completely for.

Zaun- The early show does an excellent job establishing that Caitlyn does not share the classist and oppressive attitudes of others in her social circle. But at her most lost, she bears responsibility for the full military occupation of Zaun, imprisoning its citizens, and likely the death of more than a few at the hands of the Noxians who Caitlyn allowed to be there . And that is to say nothing of the actions of the strike team, or that it is Vi's home.

Maddie- The woman she invited into her bed to distract herself from the loss of Vi, came as close as someone could have to executing her right then and there. Someone she never realized was a spy, prepared to shoot her the back of the neck. I think the trauma here is obvious.

Death Toll- The deathtoll and destruction of the war are going to weigh on her. They just are. It is clearly not actually all her fault, But as I have stated, and as anyone who pays attention will have seen, Caitlyn IS A GOOD PERSON. Yes, I'm sorry, I know some of you want to pretend otherwise because you have the emotional depth of a teaspoon. But she is. And there is simply no way she does not feel the weight of the loss brought on in part by a woman she allowed to seize control.

Mental trauma from injuries- On top of the base physical component of her wounds, Caitlyn was quite nearly beaten to death. Speaking as someone who has been in a bad fight (nowhere near this obviously) it's not something you just forget. Not to mention the impact to her shooting which has been such a major part of her since she was younger.

I could go farther with all of this but you get the idea. Caitlyn is so.... so young. I and so many others have gone on at length detailing her arc, her grief, her trauma and all of the other components that make up this part of her story. I encourage you to read them if you are interested. This list of her suffering and of the suffering she will feel guilt for is not about what she does or does not deserve. As stated, that's not why I wrote this. I wrote this because as I stated in a much shorter look at this topic, you literally have to try to miss the consequences of Caitlyn's actions. You have to blind yourself in the name of being able to place whatever hashtag makes you feel righteous in condemning her character. If you want to say the reparations to Zaun were not fully addressed in the course of the show, okay I can give you that. But I would remind of you two things:

Caitlyn surrenders her family seat on the council to Sevika. For the first time as we understand it, the undercity now has a voice.

This show is not the end of the story. From the beginning Arcane has been our door into this universe, not out of it.

Listen folks, I'm not actually crazy. I understand it's a tv show. But as I have and will always continue to say, good stories matter. There is a reason fables and epics stretch back throughout our history as a species. Yes, of course for entertainment, yes of course to impart lessons or wisdom. But that belief that we can conquer our own darkness, that we can stand in the breach against those who would bring death to the innocent, and that can find redemption, these beliefs and many more have guided the best and worst parts of us for all time.

As always, thank you so much to any of you who take the time to read the rantings of a lunatic. I cannot express to you all the joy I have felt engaging in this community and celebrating this epic tale. I can't wait to see what they have for us next. Until next time, keep standing up for the stories that stay with us.

i’ve talked about this once but i think darry ended up pushing himself too far on definitely more than one occasion and ended up giving himself a hernia because of it (a hernia is basically where part of your intestine kinda pushes forward-so it’s kinda squiggling but then a part of it just pushes through the squiggles…idk how to explain it but it’s PAINFUL) and he had to get the surgery to fix it (which he hated because it put them out of a lot of money) and it was not fun

Soda had to drive him to the hospital for said surgery and he looked stone cold and fine but he was CLENCHING onto the handles of the seat. Soda takes Pony to visit him after Pony gets home and poor Dart is absolutely out of it-Pony is terrified of hospitals too so he’s like barely keeping himself together but he’s fine in the end, he’s just pissed cause he can’t go to work for two weeks or so and he hates taking breaks

i could expand on medically complex curtises al day

[disabled-and-tired]

I have trouble keeping a physical journal, I always misplace it after only a few entries so here is my blog/journal. I’ll be posting my thoughts/frustrations/general life stuff. If this interests you or you relate you are more than welcome to stay and join me in this little journaling journey.

I guess I should introduce myself and give some important backstory as to why I’m making this blog. For reasons I will not be sharing my real name to strangers on the internet so you can call me Finch. Before I go into more detail I want to make it known that this page is not for me to gain any pity. That being said I am disabled (if I didn’t make that obvious) i was born with short Achilles tendons, had surgery for that when I was in the 4th grade, this surgery made it so i no longer strained my ankles walking on my toes, however the goal was to have my ankles at a 95° angle or more and my left only reached 93° while my right had to be recasted from 89° to 90°. Physical therapy was supposed to help the angles increase, unfortunately that didn’t happen. This has caused my knees, hips, and spine to be out of alignment. My right ankle has lost all cushioning between my bones, this is due to how I walked pre-surgery and caused over pronation in that foot. This has caused me to have chronic pain and mobility issues from a young age.

I would like to say that is my only issue, when I was very young we discovered I have POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) this would cause my resting heart rate to be in the 90s and constant heart palpitations. My mom, grandmother and sister all also have POTS. This condition also caused me to have fainting spells. Since my diagnosis I have worked with my doctors to find a way to manage the symptoms. When I was learning to read and wright it was discovered that I am dyslexic, this caused frustration as a child and to this day. I have been through some traumatic events which I may or may not discuss on this blog that caused me to develop C-PTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) and during these traumatic times I was diagnosed with OCD which again my mom, grandmother and sister have. My sister had it worse than me especially with her having autism on top of it, however as a child I had no understanding of autism and had my own frustrations with her behaviors and how her disorder dominated the house and what we did as a family. I understand now why things were the way the were but little me couldn’t comprehend as much as I can now.

As I went into middle school I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I was put on many meds for depression none worked. I would learn later with my new and current primary care provider that I have bipolar depression and not regular depression which explains why those meds just wouldn’t ever work and had odd side effects. In 5th grade when puberty hit I developed horrible allergies. Tropical fruits, certain nuts and the air were all causing me issues. Sesame was discovered to cause anaphylactic reactions weather I eat it or it’s cooked and in the air. A couple summers later I was having anaphylactic reactions to the pollen in the air, this prompted my mom to take me to the allergist and find out that I’m allergic to all plants where I live except cedar. I was promptly started on a 5 year allergy shot regiment.

During my allergy testing I was having severe gastrointestinal issues, acid reflux, esophageal spasms, and just feeling like crap after eating. I had an upper endoscopy done where I was biopsied and they informed me they fixed two things I didn’t know were issues. They found a hiatal hernia and a Schatzki ring. They fixed both and said they may happen again and since then I’ve had a second endoscopy very recently where I had both again and were fixed. The biopsy came back and my gastroenterologist had me make an appointment sooner than the one I had already made. I was informed that I had a disorder called EoE (eosinophilic esophagitis) the threshold to be diagnosed was >15 (eosinophils in one place on a slide view from pathology) I had >87. This explained a lot. I was told I had mild allergies to things I had been consuming frequently without knowing causing the condition to worsen. The allergies were found to be carrot and soy. I learned carrot is in a lot more things than you expect. After going off of anything with even trace amounts I was naive and thought I could have a blood orange soda with just bit of carrot added for flavor. Turns out I can’t and that made me feel very sick and itchy. Also turns out you can have hives on your inner eyelids, ears, nostrils, and stomach all of which I get when consuming carrot. Also I can’t have pear or bananas so that’s a bit of a bummer.

Going back to puberty times I of course started my period. I was told cramps were normal so of course I assumed I wasn’t to complain about cramps since everyone got them. As I got older the cramping got worse and worse. Trying ibuprofen and Tylenol but eventually those didn’t touch the pain anymore. It got to a state of cramping when I wasn’t even on my period, however when I was on my period it was so bad I couldn’t move, pain was radiating down my legs, throughout strange areas in my abdomen, and up my back. There was no relief I was missing school and one day ended up at the ER, convinced my appendix was about to burst. They did many tests and to my surprise they found nothing. Not even in the ultrasounds. My doctor put me on a 24/7 birth control to keep periods from happening. I then went to a gynecologist who diagnosed me with endometriosis.

My ankles grew strange and have something called haglunds deformity. In 11th grade I had this corrected just on my right ankle. This surgery was intense, they had to disconnect my tendon, chop bone off, and then the tendon is tacked back down with two screws, two nails and a surgical thread forming an X between the hardware. This was a very intense surgery that didn’t fully fix the problem. We decided against having this done on the other ankle. My surgeon offered to have my ankle bones fused in my right ankle saying it would keep the bones from grinding. I declined because there was no guarantee this would stop my pain and I would no longer be able to move my ankle.

As of now I have been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and am in the long (often 10 year) process of being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. For now my doctor has given a placeholder diagnosis of fibromyalgia while we wait for my symptoms to progress enough to have full positive symptoms. This is frustrating as I am on the cusp of testing positive for lupus. My grandma has autoimmune symptoms as well although she doesn’t like doctors so we will never know what exactly is wrong with her.

Because of my mobility impairments I was told at a young age I would need walking aids as I got older and possibly a wheelchair if things progressed. When I was told this I was too young to fully understand I was just told my body was going to continue to get worse. I now use a cane and hope things won’t progress.

In my next post I’ll will probably discuss my interests and what I do for fun so something more light hearted, later I will also talk about my frustrations with what the internet has caused in terms of a epidemic of mockery. Munchausens by internet is something that I have heavily researched and feel passionate about. A former close friend of mine started faking disorders that cannot happen late in life and making it painfully obvious that she only pretends to be disabled when it can’t inconvenience her. We no longer talk. But more on that later, if you read this all thank you, if you related to this in anyway welcome you are not alone.

[coldslaws-gear-station]

So, I was in a good mood and I couldn't sleep, so I decided "Y'know, my AU has been giving me insane brain rot lately. I should really go do those concept designs!" My mood very quickly diminished by the 3 hour mark.

So just to preface, since these are concept designs they're all on the same body type and blank pose, as all three of them have different body types and sketching out all three of them would've actually made me go looney, also they're headless like all outfit design concepts should be

So let's start with the easiest design; N!

Her design is relatively the same as their canon outfit, just with his over shirt being transformed into a coat. The collar be more loosened to symbolise a more laid back kind of personality, and her turtle neck extending to their hands simply because I like it. Other than all that, she's the same, nothing to really note

Now we're going into a bit more of a complex design; Ghetsis

I'll admit I had some fun with this. A long dynamic coat to symbolise his incredibly dramatic personality, along with a faux corset to symbolise nobility in his iconic colouring. Flared pants simply because I like it and gloves for obvious reasons, the belts simply exist to be dramatic, they don't actually have a working purpose. Big pockets because he carries around too much stuff, and of course the plasma insignia.

His outfit is very covered, to show his modesty but also to hint as his body image issues that I won't elaborate on right now. However I did notice this left me without a section to colour with his skin tone, so I just slapped it above the turtle neck even though it basically covers his neck.

Now let's get to the problem child that had me dreading the end run of this; Alder

Do you remember that post you made about making designs more complex than a tshirt and pants gives you a hernia? I felt that, I felt that so far into my bones. If you look closely you can see the point where I just fucking gave up at getting it in the lines.

The fur is designed to give off more of a "look at me, obviously I'm important" sorta vibe. Also his front piece on his poncho on the canon design being switched to be on his back is to symbolised a "flipped" personality. Sun charm because I heavily associate him with the sun, wrappings around his hands and feet because he used to punch things too much but now he finds the pressure of the wrappings comforting, and the ones around his feet are because he literally never wears shoes. In his defence though he stayed in his room basically all of his life, you don't wear shoes in your room, at least I don't.

The moment I draw this bastard genuinely outside of concepts I may actually perish, this bastard gave me more of a headache than you could possibly imagine. But a complex design shows a complex character in a way, god I fucking hate drawing fur

- 💌

YEAAAHHH WOOOO THESE ARE GREAT . im a big fan of alders specifically i think you did great. also dw about the bodies i do the same, i have a little doll i use as a base when i need to design shit. agent mara and bau penny were made with the same base LMAO (still need to finish bau penny </3 but exact same problem, making outfits is torture. he's actually THE reason i made the hernia post his outfit has been a fuckging nightmare SIX HOURS OF WORK AND I STILL DONT HAVE A DESIGN I LIKE)

n is very cute though and i like the sorta glove thing going on. n with gloves or any kind of hand wrap really makes me 🥺😳 idk what it is.

ghetsis's coat is REALLY fucking cool ugh<3 love the warm tone on the base color. although ghetsis i will admit the eye pattern might make folks mistake you for a villain again /lh

and again alders is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 literally straight fire i think it's so great. i love the emblem especially and the colors all come together fantastically it's just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 WOOOOO YEAH. can't wait to draw these mfs when i feel human again

[coldslaws]

anytime i try to make an outfit for a character that's more complex than just a t shirt i feel like im about 5 seconds from giving myself an honest to god hernia

Inguinal vs Femoral Hernias Sorting Out the Similarities and Differences Between Two Groin Troublem

[z0m813]

there are many complexities to being human, and as such, i feel gravely unprepared.

it's hard not to get lost navigating these towering walls of flesh and muscle. i've learned to utilize the ancient art of mimicry; it seems the only way to live among people is to closely imitate them. maybe if i blend in, they won't be able to lock in on my weaknesses, the slight wobble of my knees or hitch in my breath as i speak. since a young age, i've invariably been better off as an observer rather than the observed.

an un-ending lesson on existing, always watching the world move around me. i try to apply the newfound knowledge i gain in studying them, but it seldom works. an ill-fated attempt to fit in, my unnatural movements and abnormalities give me away even to the casual viewer. they see under my skin into something much more visceral, no matter how hard i work to hide it from the onlookers.

as an avid student of the anatomy i find myself surrounded by, i started working in a hospital. the nurses saw my eyes peering through the glass panel separating me from them, soon inviting me inside to watch them work. as i looked over the surgeon's shoulder, he dropped something into my gloved hands. i hold a portion of this older lady's small intestine, a minor causality of deoxygenated tract, dead by hernia. as the doctor worked to resection what remained, i found myself stuck to the stool i stood on, staring down into this fleshy beating tissue, warm and soaked with all the familiar liquids of the inner body.

i somehow felt closer to this unnamed woman in this moment than any other warm body i'd ever encountered in life. the intricacies and details of this machine we call man had taken me captive. i break them down, piece by piece, studying the mixed components of the bodies around me; it's the only way i can make sense of it all. these precious figures are worth much more to me when displayed under bright lights on a pedestal than when they are parading themselves around in the ultimate dance of guilt and shame and lies.

i glance to them as i walk throughout my day, these strangers surrounding me, suffocating me. suddenly i am eight again, looking up at my adversaries that tower over me. puzzles waiting to be solved, enigmatic and taunting. i study them as they would an alien species, or perhaps roadkill to the side of their driveway. is this how they see me? i feel transparent, naked. i don't like being so seen, it's when they're most able to break me down to my core components of which the world is not ready to see.

abominable student of human conduct and vivisection, i walk among them, unholy monster, unknown beast. someday i'll outgrow this maggot filled and blood stained anthropoid costume of mine that keeps me concealed, and they'll finally turn to look at me with a disgust i never quite learned to grasp; with a hatred and contempt i will never fully understand. for they speak a language far beyond the comprehension of an animal who must lunge into the rotted innards its neighbors to just to learn them but then cower in fear of what it discovers.

Undetectable...?

Warning: potential spoilers for the "Human Error" questline in the town of Covenant!

"Third generation synthetics represent the pinnacle of synth technology, being virtually indistinguishable from natural-born humans right down to the cellular level. [...] Though entirely biological, each Gen 3 synth contains a neurological implant inside their brain allowing them to be 'programmed' and manipulated via voice commands. This implant cannot be detected or removed without killing the synth. Synths can also have additional components installed, such as neuro-servos and other implants." (Fallout Wiki)

The statement that synths are indistinguishable from humans up until they die —and you can dissect them for components— has always made me a bit suspicious. Raised some eyebrows, from a medical perspective.

Fallout has, even after the bombs, a vast collection of solid medical technology. Focusing on diagnostics, there are x-rays (as proven by the light boxes we see around the wasteland), microscopes, and biometric scanners (judging by the name, those would tell temperature, blood pressure, heart beat, the basics), and I'm pretty sure EEG/ECG and MRI also exist, considering the implants and other enhancements people can buy, that would require some level of care and complex surgical tinkering.

And they mean to tell me none of those are able to detect components and implants. Preposterous, but alas, let's hypothesize on how this would be possible!

Regarding x-rays, there are two important terms we must keep in mind: radiotransparent and radiopaque. A radiotransparent material is that which allows the rays to completely travel through it, while radiopaque materials do the opposite, they stop the rays and "cast a shadow" on the plate below, and that's what creates images on the film. For something to not show up on an x-ray, it would have to be entirely radiotransparent, or hidden behind something entirely radiopaque.

Because of the brain and the fluids inside it, a skull is not perfectly radiopaque, allowing for foreign objects (especially those made of metal) and even some tumors to show up on the results. For this reason, a synth's components would have to be made of some specific plastic or other radiotransparent material such as epoxy resin or carbon fibers.

While we do obtain plastic from scrapping them in Fallout 4, that would most likely be its outer shell and support structures, because it would need to have internal circuits to work as intended, and those are usually not radiotransparent. Unless, of course, the institute invented/perfected a type of conductor for this exact purpose, something I wouldn't put past them.

MRI is a bit more complicated. It's a very thorough exam, and not easy to explain on a casual setting, but you can basically see everything through it. Splinters, tumors, abscesses, hernias, hardly anything escapes an MRI, especially not a foreign object, even if it is radiotransparent and non-metallic (metal and MRIs do not mix), this exam will most likely show it's contour in the tissue that surrounds it. And even if there was some built-in function on the component to muddle the results, a doctor would still be able to notice something was wrong based on that alone.

Those exams aren't commonplace, however, especially in post-apoc., and that may be why synths escape detection by it. Another thing is that the components are located in the brain, and would only show up if this area was scanned (groundbreaking information!). I imagine the rates of brain tumours, aneurysms and strokes in androids aren't that high.

Things get a bit more interesting on the EEG. An electroencephalogram, if you want to be posh, detects the electrical activity of the brain, which happens with every synapse your neurons make; and synapses can be defined as electric impulses that stimulate different parts of the brain to fulfill different functions. Those constantly moving currents create an electromagnetic field that is picked up by sensors glued to the patient's head.

It's important to consider that, according to the electrodynamics area of physics, the movement of electrons in any circumstance creates an electromagnetic field. Electrons move around constantly in every functioning electronic device (yet more groundbreaking information), and because of this, the circuits of the implants would be emitting an EM field at all times, seeing as they doesn't shut down. Logically, the EEG machine would end up registering this activity, the results of which would be most probably abnormal when compared to a normal EEG.

Again, this is not a very frequent exam to be made, and there is a chance that its results for a synth could be mistaken with those of an epileptic patient, so the possibility of synths going under the radar is still present.

What I conclude is that, under normal circumstances it would be extremely difficult to detect a synth, but if you were actively screening for them, taking what happens in Covenant as an example, you would certainly know what to look for and most definitely wouldn't waste your time with silly psychological evaluations. I know those folks were not that well in the head, but that much paranoia is bad for efficiency. Not that I want them to capture any synths, mind you, screw that entire creepy ass town!

To wrap it up, a competent doctor would be able to detect a synth if he was focused on it, and it's a bit of a wasted story/quest potential for Drs. Amari and Carrington if you ask me. Like many other lore details from Fallout 4, this one suffers from what I think is just plain old rushed production lol.

And that's it for today! Have a Deckerd for free serotonin :)

don't let the fact that many of the faces of the online hEDS community are 1. annoying 2. people who aren't severely disabled by it mislead you into thinking that hEDS and its complications can't be a severely disabling or sometimes even leads to progressive loss of function (even if hEDS itself is not progressive a lot of stuff that comes with it can be.) cases of extreme joint instability, organ prolapse, hernias, curvature of the spine, degenerative joint disease, craniocervical instability, pelvic floor dysfunction, gastroparesis, etc. visibility of annoying people doesn't change the nature of the condition. it's not just bendy joint disease and never has been and is known as a complex, multi-system condition for a reason.
