#also! interesting little detail how the recipe in the op specifies using boiled water#and the one in the screenshot does not (or rather says boiling the water is of no consequence)#which is interesting! because the bacteria that caused cholera were discovered pretty early on#i think during the 1850s & it was proven that cholera epidemics were caused by contaminated water#but it took a while for people to be convinced that the microorganisms were the cause#& i think robert koch was the first one to prove that bacteria cause diseases? late 19th cent#and even then there were lots of people who thought that was all bullshit. renowned experts too#so you have here two different publications one modern and forwards and one quite conservative#of course today we know that boiling the water is extremely important if you don't want to continuously re-infect your patient#so reading 'boiling the water is of no consequence' in a medical manual is quite chilling#medicine

Source (Season 1 - January 10th 2024)
cccorbin: On July 14th, 2021 I was lucky enough to shoot a scene on location playing a Creepy Pirate for a show that I would go on to become a huge fan of. Our Flag Means Death brought so many people together through it’s fandom. I had no idea that the character I was playing would inspire people to create art from it. I am so grateful to have been able to be a part of this world that @dvidjenkins masterfully created. That I got to work with the uber talented @nathan_foad and @rhysiedarby. That I got to be directed by the amazing @nacho_vigalondo. This show will always hold a special place in my heart. Here are some BTS photos and videos I shot from that day at Rubel Castle. Also some amazing art people created.

NEW VERSION. :)
#I would have gone with you to the end. into the very fires of mordor.#not so much the line itself but mortensens delivery is flawless. the voice. the eye contact.#the closing frodos hand over the ring and holding it to his chest.#200/10. no notes.#lotr

If you were in OFMD who do you all think you'd be. No main characters, I'm talking the background characters. I'd be the guy at Spanish Jackie'z in s1e3 who after Stede says "the drinks are on us" and someone throws their drink on Lucius shouts "the drinks be on ye now!"

oh? you think the wellerman may soon come to bring you sugar and tea and rum?
that’s cute. i was told we’d cruise the seas for american gold and now i’m a broken man on a halifax peer, the last of barrett’s privateers so like ¯＼_(ツ)_/¯
#well personally i wish i was in mobile bay screwing cotton all day#but i'm stowing sugar in the hold below :/

question that is both medical and culinary: do we clean the maggots out or leave them in?
This is a great question! It really depends on the situation and how long you're talking about leaving them in for.
In food: depends on what other food you've got available and how fussy your shipmates are. Maggots can be a nice additional protein source during long voyages. And if they're going to eat my biscuits I feel like they're fair game to be eaten themselves!
But some taste better than others. There's a kind that's pretty bitter so most sailors remove those unless they are super hungry. Here in the Caribbean we are never at sea for so long that the food begins to spoil badly and we've been lucky on the Revenge that we can always afford provisions so I usually just use maggoty food for fishing (definitely leave them in if you're using the food as bait - you'll attract more fish).
In wounds: there's a kind of maggot that only eats dead flesh and so those can be useful for cleaning a wound. But even that kind should only be considered to be a temporary, supervised guest. You'll want to clean them out after they are no longer useful. Other kinds should be cleaned out.
Hope that helps!
#peer reviewed#thank you :D <3#if anyone has experience with maggots please tell me about it#insects cw

#ooh i want to try out maggot therapy SO badly#its suppoed to work really well#for op: the maggots you want are green bottle flies#they DO eat living tissue but they dont have teeth and cant burrow into the wound#they excrete their digestive fluids which dissolves necroses kills bacteria and leaves the wound nice and clean#HOWEVER wild flies are often infected with clostridium#most concerning r the ones that cause gas gangrene and tetanus#if you cant breed your own maggots in controlled conditions you're gambling but otoh a very gross wound will kill the patient anyway#so might as well take your chances#good luck!#our flag means death

Dearest Roach,
Big fan of your work, huge.
As a fellow surgery enthusiast, I wanted to ask you what is the coolest and grossest thing you’ve seen during your time as a medical practitioner.
:D
Coolest/grossest thing is probably a bit of trivia: if someone has a foreign object lodged in one eye you have to cover the other as well so it doesn't move around because both eyes track/move together.
The human body is a marvel.
