Medicine
Recognizing illness and treating bodily injury.
Overview
Medicine covers anatomy, diagnosis, treatment, medical equipment, and understanding injury or illness. It can also help determine a cause of death or assess blood-related evidence. Its treatment rules apply differently to living patients and undead bodies; expertise does not remove those distinctions.
