Basics
John hosts classes on what is, arbitrarily, first aid in Imeeji. The classes are on the odd-numbered days of Imeeji at 7AM and are frequently announced on Dissonance to make it easy for anyone to turn up. No matter what game or otherwise happened before or is happening during, John will be there and ready to teach. Check the classes listed in the comments to see what kind of topics are covered. John is not going to teach anesthesia and pharmacology, so if your character is hunting for that kind of information, we should have a thread about it. ICly, John would ask what the situation is and may prescribe something on a one-off basis if he cannot be there to administer.

Clinic
John has set-up a clinic on the first level of one of the empty buildings between the Hotel and the Game Tower. It has beds, tables, medical equipment, and a number of medical machines. One half of the clinic is a dedicated space for classes, the other half is for treating people. It is open for everyone to use, but it is mainly meant for whomever John is teaching that requires a clean and stocked place to take care of something. If you have any questions about it, ping me on discord.

Play & Attendance
Aside from rare exceptions, I am not hosting these classes ICly, because I am not any kind of medical professional and playing it out would be stressful. At times, I do post or comment in the appropriate mingle for after class discussions and interactions in order to keep it connected and involved to the game at large. I will try to link in Discord whenever this happens.

To keep the community up to date on what topics are covered, I will be commenting on this post with whatever the lesson du jour is below then notify people in Discord. It would be helpful if you could say if your character turned up for any particular lesson moving forward.

Teacher
Surprising no one, John is a strict teacher. He may not recall it, but he used to be a graduate-level teacher and certainly acts like it. If anyone arrives late, they will be asked to leave; and everyone must take notes. Due to lack of resources, John is working strictly with whatever he can describe, draw, or, more often than not, present pictures within medical texts of. It is an hour of absolutely less than exciting dictation by John. He does drill everyone to make sure they have a good grasp of the material and will present novel situations to assess if people can respond correctly. However, he behaves outside of class with someone, he will be more patient and thorough with them as a student. Ultimately, John wants people to feel prepared to manage a crisis for a brief period and always advises students that they can contact him in the event of an emergency.

Cobalt is DEFINITELY present. He bought an IV kit from the store for this one, and if hands-on practice isn't already covered during the lecture portion of class, he's going to be asking if anyone is willing to volunteer to let him practice on them afterward (SOB I'm so sorry. He doesn't like it either.) He feels a very urgent need to be good at this three days ago.

If you are also in attendance for this class, please let Cobalt stick an an IV in you (I'M SORRY, HE'S NOT GREAT WITH HIS HANDS, IT WON'T BE PLEASANT FOR ANY OF US BUT HE REALLY IS TRYING VERY HARD AND HE APPRECIATES YOUR SACRIFICE)

Amaranth totally volunteers for this, and is interested in borrowing the kit to practice as well. (She very clearly finds medical needles rather foreign.)

She clearly has quite good pain tolerance, if nothing else.

Cobalt will absolutely let her practice on him as well. Sticking needles in each other -- what a wonderful bonding activity this is.

Cobalt is successfully unsettled, thank you. Also, sorry for the bruises when he fucks up the needle placement.

Persephone is so pale that the bruises can probably be seen from like across a room.

good thing he wears bandages on his arms constantly.

Gladiolus would let Cobalt practice on her! She would be maybe a little too interested in watching what he's doing but also be very chill while he tries to get it right.

Well this is... certainly a way to meet each other, but I'm glad she's having fun!

Talon wouldn't necessarily offer himself up, especially once he sees how hard a time Cobalt's having with it, but he would offer (rude/blunt) advice on better technique or ways to keep calm so he can focus better. Kid's invested in having as many medics around as possible so he'd be pretty sincere in trying to help but like. Not up for being a test pin cushion.
