Only two today. Of those, only one survived.
The first was a female. Gave her name as Samantha Walker. Came from farther up north, and was thus effected by third-degree frost-bite. I was forced to amputate two toes, and one of her ears. The remaining tissue damage was mostly Chilblains and ulcers. The girl said she was only passing through, trying to get farther south to beat the coming winter. Makes me wonder if I should be doing the same. I can't ignore that the weather has grown fiercer.
The second was a male. No name was given, as he wasn't conscious to do so. Blunt force injury, with something thin; perhaps a metal rebar? Regardless, he suffered several broken ribs, and a skull fracture. I did manage to remove the bone fragments that posed immediate risk, but an Epidural Hemotoma developed before I had proper time to react. The swelling killed him before I managed to properly drain the excess fluid... You win some, lose some, I guess...
I should consult Eli, or maybe Matt about the coming cold. Proper precautions need to be met if we are to be prepared for the months ahead. Food, electricity, proper-warmth; these are our priorities. Unfortunately, it seems as though too many refugees out here are consumed with taking up flags, and symbols, to gun down those who bear other flags or symbols. It's a waste of human life. If we can't work together, especially in the difficult times we surely have ahead, then we're destined to perish.
There seems to be no one dedicated to assistance any more. Lord knows, I spend most of my time treating wounds caused by The Crazies, or The Sirens, or whatever other horrible group exists out there. They even have vehicles, simply to continue their petty squabbles. I sincerely wish I could get my hands on someone who could drive me about. What with my injuries, mobility is very inconvenient. There must be someone out there with the resources to accomplish such things.
I've had too hard of a day not to enjoy a drink, and a recorder simply isn't pleasant company. Until further updates.

This is something I plan to update around every couple of days, as a vent for what's going on with this character until OL is back up. It's also a handy place to channel some medical knowledge :D
