little_detailsCan I pick a medical brain about how you'd care for someone that was knocked unconcious with a blow to the head? If there's experience with how it feels and how to describe waking up, that would also be super amazing. I know it's super dangerous and requires a hospital visit but this is fic-land and historical and they're on a pirate ship so we're ignoring that small tidbit.
Setting: I'm not going to lie, this is pretty vague. Whatever Pirates of the Carribbean is, ish? On a ship belonging to a relatively well-respected naval officer who's just picked up someone with an 'or alive' bounty. As little crew as they can get away with.
The Knockening: poor Character is headbutted into unconciousness. They stay unconcious long enough to be moved to another ship.
The questions:
-how long can they stay unconcious before breaking suspension of disbelief
-how would someone used to dragging unconcious bodies around check up on Character as they wake up
-how does it feel to wake up after such a blow
-assuming no lasting damage, what temporary damage can Character expect?
Thank you so much!

Date: 2023-07-27 09:06 pm (UTC)I dated a guy who had a motorcycle, and who was teaching me how to drive it. There was a highway cloverleaf which wrapped around a very low hill, and people used to drive up it on motorcyles and bicicles to get a little bit of a "jump", and my boyfriend did that, and the bike landed on its side. I was wearing a helmet, which prevented me from having my face scraped off in a patch of gravel, and my ankle landed on the exhaust pipe which gave me a nasty-looking burn. But I kept trying to drive that bike, which was too tall for me - my feet didn't touch the ground when I straddled the seat.
And my son worked in a hospital as a volunteer, and also as an EMT, and motorcyles are referred to by ER personnel as "donorcyles".
