[cadeuces]

Hello, Lunatia! I hope this finds you all well. I'm Dr. Angela Ziegler, if we've yet to have the pleasure. The doctor who owns the Second Nature (Free) Clinic on the beach in level 2.

I have seen a lot of new faces of late and quite the number of questioning entries, as well as some other Q&As, so I thought that I would offer one a little more... medically professional? And from someone who has been here for a year, now.

I'm sure it is quite disorienting here at times and I would like to offer some peace of mind and an open venue to ask anything you'd like, whether it's about this place or its changes, pre-existing medical concerns, how to administer a massage for a partner, what goes into cybernetics, creating a swedish torch as the weather warms up for hiking, or even simply just coffee shop recommendations. Everyone is welcome to try me.

If even posting anonymously is a bit too much, you are free to contact me privately as well.

Do you sell reusable scalpels with extreme durability?

[cadeuces]

All surgical steel scalpels are reusable if sanitized properly; as for extreme durability, I suppose that would depend on what it's needed for.

But I don't sell medical equipment. There are places here that do, associated with the hospitals and Prismal clinics.

Should I be concerned?

[enginehairing]

The one I had didn't make the big hop over here so I've been keeping an eye out for a suitable replacement. Not an immediate concern. I just like to have my tools available at all times.

[ How does one even misinterpret the concern... ]

Any chance of getting pings on where the best can be found? I wouldn't turn down a professional opinion!

[cadeuces]

I can understand that; I was lucky enough to have my tried & true surgical kit come over with me. What is it you'll be turning a scalpel to? Assuming it isn't fellow humans, if you're requiring something extremely durable.

I can send you to the location of two I like to use, though they're a little fussy with contracts. I'm not sure they'll just let people waltz in and purchase single items without having a business behind them.

( Boop! Two locations attached; one in Level 1 and one in Level 2, both near the hospitals present. )

[enginehairing]

[ This pleases the gremlin. ]

Thanks for the heads up on the contracts! Good info to know ahead of time.

Mostly it'll be for fickle plastics or metals I might encounter in my experiments. Humanoid application has been rare for me on my home planet, so I don't anticipate it much here at all. Better to prepared though!

[cadeuces]

Absolutely; though, if it's for plastics or metals, why not a solder iron? You can melt those much easier than you can cut them. Or tin snips. Depends on how thick the material is.
