i'm no medical expert but my one and only health tip i can offer with any confidence is to allow yourself to listen to bohemian rhapsody every once in a while in a setting where you can put your your whole entire life up to this moment into singing along with the part where freddie mercury says "i don't wanna die, but sometimes i wish i'd never been born at all" and feel a layer of dead scar tissue peel away from your existence before it can calcify
How to make character injuries more realistic
Before I start, I just want to say that I love unrealistic whomp. You don’t have to stop writing because they are fun! But if you want some more realism, here you go
Most major injuries take a long time to heal. 6 weeks is usually a minimum for any surgery, birth, or broken bone.
Major Muscle and joint injuries commonly take months or years to heal, require surgery to repair or replace, physical therapy, or may never heal.
Physical therapy hurts a lot. And takes months or years too sometimes.
Getting shot: placement is basically everything because bullets rip a hole through whatever they hit and there is no safe shot. 1/6 chance they die from any hit. Any. Infection is a big risk and more men in the civil war died of infection than blood loss. The leg has major arteries that can bleed out in minutes (femoral artery) and many layer of muscles and losing one layer will affect leg movement in a big way. Surgery to reattach muscles or add cadaver muscle can be needed. There is a risk of rejection. Getting shot in the the chest is very scary because it can hit a major organ, artery straight from the heart, or the muscles that allow the arms to move. Same with the back.
Getting shot in the stomach can have a person bleed out quickly if hit in the descending aorta. But usually it’s a gut shot and ruptures the stomach causing acid burns that eat the inside of their abdomen or into intestines that releases bacteria filled poop into their abdomen and they slowly get a deadly infection. Extremely painful and scary. Surgery can be complicated.
Losing a limb: they can definitely bleed to death (femoral artery in legs in minutes) or without a proper tourniquet in hours to days anywhere else. They need surgery to close the limb. Being in nerve pain for a years afterwards is very common. Phantom limb pain is common. Infections sometimes happen and depend on how the limb was lost on the risk. Crushed is a high risk for infection. Becoming addicted to pain medication is a risk. Prosthetics are not perfect. Kids outgrow them and need new ones. They sometimes rub the skin or cause pain and need physical therapy to properly learn how to use them. Many people who lose a limb require psychotherapy because they often have to literally mourn their lost limb and life change.
Getting stabbed: location, depth, and weapon make a difference. The closer to major arteries or internal organs, the more serious it is. Also how deep it goes. Muscle and joint cuts are complicated to heal and might require multiple surgeries. The weapon affects the chances of getting an infection and how large the cut is. A clean sharp blade goes deeper but has a better chance of healing if it doesn’t hit anything major. A dull blade increases infection risks and cause excessive bleeding and a longer time for tissue growth because it’s basically ripping rather than cutting. Serrated blades cause nasty wounds.
Head injuries- anything that causes lack of consciousness is a head injury. Many can be mild but multiple times can cause permanent damage (like professional fighters or American football players). Nausea, vomiting, severe headache, any mental decline like not knowing where they are, who they are, what they are doing, or what year it is are symptoms that they aren’t okay and need to visit the hospital for potential brain damage or concussion. Amnesia and confusion can be temporary or permanent. Brain swelling can be deadly and might require surgery to release pressure.
Getting a blood transfusion- can happen after any major trauma where they lose blood. You can look up symptoms of hypovolemia for how the patient would act when bleeding out. Shock is a big risk. Blood is given in a IV and people can go through many liters through a surgery or when first admitted with major trauma. It’s hard to get it in a vein in patients bleeding out because they are deflated. Removing IVs is not a blood drenched horror movie unless they have a bleeding disorder or on blood thinners. Also that blood will leak out of veins. It’s the arteries that gush.
Being bedbound or in a coma- cause muscles to be weakened and long enough time they will need to relearn how to walk or use tools when they wake. Be in a coma for 6 months and you won’t walk out of the hospital when you wake up. They may have pressure injuries on the back of their heals or tailbone from laying in one spot too long. There are a lot of tubes in their body. A lot.
Signs of infection- heat, new pain, not healing, redness, increased drainage or changes towards yellow or black drainage that smells bad at the site of infection. Can become deadly. They also can be more tired, get body fever, lack of appetite, irritable, and just feeling bad (malaise).
Burns- depth of damage decides how bad it is. You can look up degrees of burn. 1 littlest, 3rd worst. 3rd degree burns don’t hurt because they have destroyed nerves. Second degree hurts the worst. Dehydration and hypothermia (too low body temp) are some of the most serious short term risks because the skin isn’t protecting them anymore. Infections are common and heal times are long and painful. Scaring is very common.
If you want to give your character a disorder or unusual injury, google it. Usually you will get an entire list of symptoms they might have. They probably won’t get all of the symptoms.
Pain medication isn’t perfect and many will still have pain especially when the medication wears off. Addiction, dependence, or tolerance are common. They are all a little different. Doctors don’t like writing narcotics prescription unless it’s real pain (like those on this list.)

Understanding your Aquarius friends
In my opinion, AQUARIUS is the most misunderstood sign of the zodiac.
From the people I’ve spoken to and the things I’ve read, people tend to misread aquarius and don’t take the time to really figure them out (they’re tricky and extremely private people, you do have to make an effort to understand them, or else you’re just going to see their outer shell)
Here’s some things to keep in mind:
1). Space is important to them. These are not the kind of people who can spend all their time with others. At a certain point, they are going to need a break to collect their thoughts on their own. So don’t be surprised if they come across distant, especially when you first meet them. It really has nothing to do with the company they’re with, it’s more about needing time alone because they don’t want to lose theirselves in the company of others. Aquarius is one of the most independent signs, so needing constant human connection is simply not one of their traits. They are comfortable with distance and are comfortable maintaining relationships with people they do not see often.
2) An aquarius will not go out of their way to win over your affection when you clearly aren’t interested. Many people don’t realize how Aquarius fears rejection. They don’t want to be made to look like a fool, and they certainly do not want to look desperate. So if they know you aren’t interested, they are going to play it cool and act uninterested theirselves. This is why Aquarius can have trouble with commitment. They are only going to make a move if they are 100% comfortable with you and have an idea of what’s going through your head. If they don’t know, they won’t act. They will always prefer to appear unaffected and unbothered than lonely and desperate.
3) The way to their heart is through their mind. You really want an aquarius to love you? Stimulate their mind. Aquarius loves to learn something new, and are drawn to people who can broaden their mental horizon. They are turned off by close minded individuals who are committed to remaining in their own bubble. Aquarius will appreciate flirting that is carefully worded and will really fall for the people who can carry meaningful, substantial conversation.
4) Their healthiest relationships start off as friendships. If you’re interested in an aquarius but are frustrated with their mixed signals (or lack their of), you should try being their friend first. Once they have a sense of who you are, they can trust you. Once they trust you, they can open up to you. And once they open up to you they will be much more willing to begin a relationship.
5) You need to be strategic if you want them to open up. The bottom line is aquarius is not the type to wear their heart on their sleeve and certainly not the type to express their feelings on their own. They will be turned away if you are insistant about wanting to know their feelings (most times, they don’t even know their feelings!) So here’s what you do: be lowkey. Start an unrelated conversation and slowly bridge into what you want to know. Never out right ask aquarius what they’re feeling, but rather set the tone so that there’s an environment where an aquarius feels comfortable enough to make their emotions vocal. This will take time! Be patient. Be someone who is unjudgemental and unbiased. If they get the slightest idea that you will freak out about what they have to say, they won’t say anything at all.
Aquarius friends— I’m here for you. As for everyone else— remember aquarius can be the outsiders on the zodiac because they aren’t afraid to be different– which often leads to them being misunderstood and neglected. But like every other sign, learning about their quirks can better your communication and relationships with them in the future.
For everyone with social anxiety, this is a reminder that you don't have to be perfect in your interactions with others; you just have to be kind and that's literally it. That's all that's necessary of you. You don't need to say the perfect thing or anticipate what they would want you to say or even exude confidence if you can't.
Social anxiety tells us that we have to be perfect in in our social interactions, but no one is. Social anxiety sets us up for a level of expectation in our social interactions that we have no choice but to fail at, and then fall into a cycle of self-hate for failing and striving even harder for perfection.

people who only speak languages that don’t make compound words by smashing multiple existing words together into one big mess of letters with no spaces will never experience the epic highs and lows of reading a salad recipe that calls for “kerstomaatjes”, which depending on where your brain thinks the cutoff point should be could mean either cherry tomatoes (kers-tomaatjes) or small christmas grannies (kerst-omaatjes). it’s “let’s eat, grandma!” vs. “let’s eat grandma!” all over again, but concentrated into a single word, which, as two prominent examples of humorous language mishaps, should set one thinking about the international linguist community’s apparent repressed desire to cannibalize their maternal forebears. in this essay i will
