While many medics have the luxury of chakra to treat their wounds, some lack that gift, and many others prefer to supplement themselves with more traditional means. The Medicinal Arts are a series of disciplines and maneuvers that display a mastery of traditional healing techniques and treatments. While anyone can learn them, true mastery of the Arts of Medicine demands a thorough knowledge of both these, Iijutsu, and surgical techniques.
Requires [Medicine] and [Deft Hands] concentration.
| [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Bandage Wrapping][/color][/b] D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver The user knows how to utilize bandages, wrapping a wound in a manner that creates a near-perfect barrier from external forces, keeping the wound clean from bacteria. The bandage is tucked in place, preventing it from falling off, though excessive rubbing, pulling, or getting the bandage wet can cause it to fall off. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Wound Cleanse][/color][/b] D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline The user knows how to use sterile water or alcohol to clean out a wound, destroying any bacteria in the wound to prevent infection. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Injury Assessment][/color][/b] D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline Unlike the mystical means of diagnosis utilized through iijutsu, those who utilize the Arts of Medicine must learn the most effective manner to assess a patient. Learners of this discipline have learn the most effective manner to diagnose a patient, starting at the head, and assessing for head wounds, then moving down through the torso, both arms, the groin area, both legs, then the back. Those who learn this discipline will be able to account for any wounds that present with physical symptoms on a patient. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Pressure Points][/color][/b] D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline The user has learned all appropriate pressure points on a body. In the event of bleeding, they know where to apply pressure to slow the bleeding while treatment is administered. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Splint][/color][/b] D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline The user is able to create slings and wraps that support fractures, sprains, and breaks in patients. |
| [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Tourniquet][/color][/b] C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline The user has extensive knowledge on how to properly make and apply a tourniquet, and they can often make one out of whatever supplies are available, even scraps of clothing. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Air Way][/color][/b] C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver The user is able to use makeshift supplies to obtain and maintain an airway in a patient through various methods, such as intubation or emergency cricothyroidotomy. This allows people to breathe even if they have obstructed airways. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Antidote][/color][/b] C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver The user is able to assess the site of injection of a venom or poison into a patient, properly cut off circulation, and roll veins to force out the poison or venom. So long as they begin with the first post of injection, they can prevent the effects of venom or poison. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Medic][/color][/b] C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline Perhaps one of the most important disciplines of any aspiring Medic, one who has mastered this Discipline can maintain a clear mind when treating patients. Techniques of equal rank or lower that affect this character's emotional stability or distract them from their work will have no effect while they are treating patients. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Stitching][/color][/b] C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver Assuming the medic has the proper tools to do so, this character is able to use sutures to stitch most minor and moderate wounds closed, preventing the progression of infection and deterioration of the wound. |
| [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Field Transfusion][/color][/b] B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver Assuming they have the approriate materials, the user is able to set up a field transfusion, taking blood from one person and transfusing it into their patient, adding to their blood volume and potentially extending their life. A Field Tranfusion can extend the life of a patient by up to 3 posts. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Priority][/color][/b] B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline When faced with multiple patients, one who has mastered this Discipline is able to rapidly assess multiple patients and determine priority of their individual injuries and determine which require the highest priorities and which can survive with delayed care. An additional benefit of this Discipline is that one who has mastered it is always able to determine whether a patient is alive or dead unless they are under the effects of equal or higher technique designed to make them appear dead. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Comfort][/color][/b] B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver Through the use of acupuncture and their knowledge of pressure points, the user is able to quickly apply a series of pricks, leaving the needles in, that dulls pain in localized areas of the body or even the entire body. This method only isolates pain receptors, not other receptors, allowing someone under the effects of this technique to continue to function. The pain dulling effects will last for up to 5 posts, at which points the needles will have to be removed and then replaced. |
| [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Anatomy][/color][/b] A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline One who has mastered this discipline has an near unparalleled comprehension of anatomy and physiology. They are able to locate even the smallest of veins in any person, regardless of variances in shape or size. This knowledge extends to chakra systems, nervous systems, and anything else. Much of this knowledge extends into the biology of non-human species as well, though with less precision. This discipline, combined with enough accuracy, can turn even the simplest of attacks into a fatal blow. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Resuscitation][/color][/b] A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver In the event a patient has passed, in some cases it is possible to resuscitate the patient. Most major injuries must be first treated, as any untreated injuries would simply cause the patient to perish after resuscitation. Should the injuries be treated and this technique be initiated within 2 posts of the target's death, the user will applies pressure to a series of pressure points and begin CPR, bringing the patient back to life. This technique will inevitably fail if not initiated within the 2 post period. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Stun][/color][/b] A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver Through the use of needles, the user will target a series of pressure points on a targets back or chest, using it to stop signals from being transfered through their nervous system. This prevents movement, causes full body paralysis from the neck down in their patient, and dulls all pain receptors as well. While the technique has effective medical purposes, it can also be used in combat. The paralysis lasts for 4 posts before fading, at which points the needles must be removed and replaced to perpetuate the effect. |
| [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Guardian Angel][/color][/b] [b]Prerequisite:[/b] 25 Art of Medicine Techniques or 25 Iijutsu, and at least 3 S-Ranks for either, 45 Willpower S-Rank Taijutsu Stance The ultimate stance for anyone who practices medicine, this technique devotes all their focus into caring for a patient, taking away all possible distractions. The user will be completely unable to utilize any techniques, with the only exception being [b][color=#008b5e]Art of Medicine, Iijutsu, and Organ Transplant[/color][/b] jutsu. While in this stance, the user is completely immune to any pain, unaffected by genjutsu, and able to tune out any external information not directly pertinent to the treatment of their patient. This stance can be sustained for up to [Chakra Pool/2] posts, and the user will persist, regardless of any damage to them, unless they are damaged in a way that stops them from possibly being able to do so (decapitation, for example, would stop them, while a sword through their stomach would not.) However, separation from their patient, or ceasing to care for a patient, will immediately end the Stance. [b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Faint Touch][/color][/b] S-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver The user will move towards a target with either a sharp weapon or their hand. Targeting a pressure point on their carotid artery, the user will either stab it (with a weapon) or pinch it (with their hand). Should they be successful, any targets with less than 35 Endurance will faint. This loss of consciousness will last for at least 2 posts. |
