#he’s great if you have a bit of a wild card injury. chemical/acid burns; electrocution; amputation; etc

so. Scrolling the dash prompted me to evaluate who the “medic” of the hermitcraft server is. And the answer i have concluded at is i think it depends on what issue you’re having.

If you’re looking for ONE solid all-rounder ‘medic’/doctor, I’d probably go with Cub. Not because of any reference specifically, i just think he’s probably the most knowledgeable in the human body/medicine. He’s a scientist too, thats close enough 👍 Doc would probably be a solid enough substitute in a pinch, but he’d be relying pretty heavily on info/help from the hivemind to do the more intensive stuff.

Doc is the guy people go to for biomechanical issues (ppl like Iskall, Ren, etc). Basically really advanced prosthetics. Doc’s half biomechanical himself, so he’s truly the expert in both knowledge and experience.

Cleo is the hermit you wanna see if you need stitches. She has the steadiest hand, desensitized to the whole ‘stabbing through skin’ thing after doing it to herself so many times repairing her body.

Some hermits work as like a more general urgent care level— not emergency level, but something you need medical attention for. Joe, Impulse, Skizz, and Scar are all officially first aid and CPR certified (Joe because it’s part of his admin duties, Impulse and Skizz because they’re both Arizona Dads™ and wanna be prepped, and Scar because of a hermit-voted mandate for his own wellbeing). For people just feeling more generally under the weather, Keralis is more than willing to dote on and care for them until they feel better!

Since they don’t really have a dedicated server infirmary, each hermit has their own medical supply sets in their base— it’s just part of the server expectations — and they also reflect their owners. Pearl’s is VERY well stocked, neat and tidy. Iskall’s is typically about 30% stocked (they’ll restock it later!). Stress only has colorful/fun bandaids in her supplies— coincidentally it’s not uncommon to see Iskall with a pink donut bandaid around his finger or a Scooby Doo bandaid on his leg. He fervently denies that he takes from anyone stash but his own. Grian’s has at least 3 bottles of extra strength excedrin. Skizz’s has an unopened pack of pads in his.

TLDR; if you want a specific “medic”, use cub or doc but in reality it’s a very messy web of ‘well this person is best at THIS part—‘ that they navigate around
