Snippets: Free Day Friday

Well, not a snippet. A whole durn one-shot. No title yet, so let's just call it "Responsible Adults, or, Damas Wants A Raise"

(This mentions a hilarious headcanon that rose from a discussion of game weapons with @troblsomtwins829 and @segaphantom , one I intend to use from now on, where it was decided that red eco shockwave ammo is what Wastelanders give their kids when they're first learning trigger discipline, and Jak is the equivalent of a kid bringing down a grizzly bear with a plastic baseball bat. Also featuring swears borrowed from Watership Down because rabbit language is a lot of fun tbh)

It should have been a perfectly straightforward event. Fourteen candidates who had finally passed the initial terrain tests to Kleiver's satisfaction, finally able to go at it with weapons. Only Scatterguns for now, of course. Live ammunition would wait for those who passed their first trial. Those left standing would receive their gate pass and first amulet, everyone who had dodged the lava but not their comrades' shockwaves would be scraped off the sand and delivered to the on-site hospital. They would have to wait another month to retake their trial.

It was standard procedure.

They'd done it hundreds of times.

But this time, it was immediately apparent that something was amiss.

One man broke out of the pack before Damas could even explain what was expected of a first trial. He ran between the cover provided by the matter formers like his life depended on it, gun swinging uselessly on his back.

Well. That one probably wasn't going to last.

Damas sighed and checked the tiny screen that showed him the Arena from a closer view. Oh. That was the Krimzon Guard who had turned up at the temple, begging for clemency in the wake of Praxis's death.

Well if he survived this, his record was clean. But if he didn't-

Well that was one less Krimzon Guard in the world.

Behind him, down the stairs leading to the interior corridors of the Arena, Damas heard an alarm siren. He frowned. What could be so urgent as to sound an alarm back there? Was a patient coding?

The king twitched one ear back to listen for details while glancing periodically at the ring.

"All personnel, all personnel, be on the lookout: an unaccompanied minor is missing from Ward 2. Light hair, underweight, believed to be experiencing medical distress-"

Damas blinked. How on earth had a patient gotten out of the children's ward without someone noticing? Oh, Dr. Petros was going to spit fire when he found out.

"It's going to be one of those days," Damas grumbled, rubbing his forehead, "I can already tell."

He was correct.

A chorus of surprised voices began shouting in the stands, and Damas squinted down into the Arena. Amidst the chaos, the tattooed soldier formerly of Haven was still fleeing for his life. He occasionally fired behind him, but focused mainly on looking for a way out of the Arena. And now Damas could actually see his pursuer.

The figure was small -- tiny, compared to most of the candidates in both height and weight. It wove in and out of the combatants with an unusual speed and grace. But something was wrong.

"What the-"

Damas stood.

"Asa," he said into a handheld radio, "Don't activate the lava. Can you get eyes on the field and tell me if I'm actually seeing someone in hospital scrubs out there?"

"If what?!"

The man running the matter formers went silent as he peered out of his booth further down the wall.

"Bloody Frith! That guy doesn't even have a gun! They're not allowed to be unarmed for trials!"

"No, no they are not." Damas tightened his jaw. "But if he's unarmed-"

Then what's the Krimzon so afraid of?

The mystery candidate passed near the drone camera, and Damas almost dropped the screen entirely.

"Embleer Frith!" he swore, "It's that kid!"

It was the boy he'd found in the desert, barely alive, the one with a dead man's beacon in his hand. It had only been two days! Foundlings weren't permitted to take Arena trials until they had been declared medically sound for three consecutive days after their rescue!

Damas suddenly remembered the call from Petros, informing him that the young man was not, in fact, an adult from Haven. That he was in reality a young boy, covered with some deeply concerning scars. And the doctor had been very insistent about the foundling not being of age for combat trials.

The alarm from the hospital continued to blare, and Damas had a sinking feeling that the unaccompanied minor and the kid he'd hauled out of the desert were one and the same.

Who had allowed this?! The foundling definitely hadn't passed the terrain test yet -- he hadn't even reached the minimum age allowed to compete yet! He never should have gotten past Kleiver in the waiting hatch!

"Oh don't tell me," he breathed.

The Arena had been compromised. And that meant that the results of the fourteen candidates' initial combat trial were compromised. If Kleiver didn't have an incredible explanation for this, heads were going to roll.

Below, the boy had caught up to his quarry. Every single blast of the Scattergun, he dodged. Then the former guard shouted something; Damas couldn't make it out, but from the footage his lips seemed to be forming the word "free" or "freak".

Yells of both excitement and alarm filled the stands as the renegade patient just

Changed.

Purple sparks flickered over his body, like lightning. Every part of his body the sparks touched drained of all color. This was not the pallor of the dead, this was the white of bleached bone, and teeth. Black horns rose from ragged hair. Black claws were barely visible on each hand. At this distance, even his eyes looked black.

What. Was. That.

The KG screeched, firing without aiming. But the demonic boy launched too quickly to be tracked by the drone, taking the guard to ground. Damas knew without looking that the man was dying. He didn't even scream. There was only a pitiful gurgle as claws pierced his throat.

Damas turned the volume as far up on his screen as he could, just in time for the monstrous form to recede, to vanish as though it had been a mere hallucination. Spattered with blood, the boy from the desert stood up on shaking legs. Just barely, the drone caught his vicious hiss.

"Not so funny when you're the one with a mouth full of blood, huh, Tyber?"

He spat on the dying man.

And then his knees buckled.

Damas had seen enough.

"Stop the trial!" He commanded, waving guards towards the Arena. "The Arena is compromised! Get the candidates back to barracks, and send Kleiver to me, immediately."

He started to leave the booth, then turned back to the radio again.

"And find whoever was in charge of Ward 2 this week! And for the love of the Precursors get that kid out of my Arena!"

Oh, heads were going to roll.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Jak could hear shouting long before the creaking wooden platform reached the top of the shaft. He'd already been tense when the two big Wastelanders pulled him off the cot someone had dropped him on. If one of them hadn't been carrying Daxter, it was very likely that Jak would have tried to kill them, too. Now he started tugging experimentally at his arms, checking their grip.

"Quit!" One of them scowled at him. "The king’s mad as it is, don't make it worse!"

"-Didn't drag that kid off death’s doorstep just for you two to send him right back!" A raspy voice was yelling, "So you tell me, Rezzik, how a patient -- who Petros already told me was a minor based on musculoskeletal scans -- got into the Arena -- unarmed -- during a combat trial!"

The voice that responded was the skinny guy Jak had shoved away from him when he first woke up.

"Sire, the boy just-"

"I didn't ask about the boy! Tell me what you did! You were in charge of the children's ward this week, not the boy! When I want to hear the boy's side of things, I'll ask him myself!"

The other guards holding Jak's arms sucked on his teeth nervously.

"Oh, he's pissed," he whispered. "I wouldn't want to be the nurse right now."

"Or Kleiver. They're in deep weeds," the other agreed.

The elevator locked into place and, for a moment, Jak forgot the shouting. They were inside. And there was water. Water. Inside. Vast pools of it like an indoor oasis. Trees lined the room, dropping the temperature by several degrees. And this had been built by hu'men hands! How?!

"Well there he is." The raspy voiced man -- oh, Jak had seen the guy with the staff on that balcony of that stadium -- made an impatient gesture in his direction.

"Back from the dead, are you? You've certainly caused a fuss, young one. Care to tell me exactly what you were doing unarmed in a combat trial?"

"A combat what?" Jak answered the question with a question.

The man with the staff steepled his fingers in front of his mouth. He inhaled sharply and wheeled to face the skinny medic.

"Rezzik!"

Rezzik put his hands up defensively. "He was unconscious, my lord! He wasn't expected to even be lucid until Se'enday!"

The king dropped his face into his palm.

"Oh my gods," he groaned, "He doesn't even know where he is, does he?"

"Uh, "he" is right here," Daxter snapped.

Every person but Jak jolted.

"It talks?!"

"Oh what the rot what the rot-"

"Oh that's so cursed-"

"Why does it talk?!"

Daxter whistled sharply.

"Yes yes, I'm a miracle of premodern medicine. Moving on! Who are you mooks, where are we, and what's all this about Jak and a combat trial?!"

Jak glowered at the ground.

"Saw Tyber. From the prison. He's dead now."

Daxter's ears drooped and his eyes widened. "Oh..."

He reached down to pat Jak's shoulder.

"The creep had it comin', Jak. You did good."

"Well. Considering you apparently weren't conscious until now, you can't be expected to have known," the man who was probably the king groused, "but entry into the Arena is restricted to those aged eighteen and older for a reason. So. What I need to know is who let you through that gate."

He pointed at the sullen man with the big mustache.

"Did he or did he not make any attempt to stop you?"

Frankly, Jak couldn't remember much about how he got onto that field.

"Wouldn't have mattered if he did or didn't," he muttered, "he couldn't have stopped me."

The king narrowed his eyes at him. Then he seemed to actually see him.

"Ah, what are we doing- Jin, Faro, let go of the kid! Get him some water for the gods sakes, he just passed out on the battlefield!"

Then he turned to look at the guy he'd called Kleiver.

His voice was much quieter now. And somehow that was more frightening.

"Kleiver, you know the procedure for new arrivals," he said softly. "Three days' recovery and approval from Maud or Petros before First Trial. So what made you let a boy in hospital clothes through that gate?"

The big man sneered. "Did you see the anklebiter?! He was out for blood! He ended up fine, di'n't he?"

"Fine?! Look at him!" The king gestured sharply in frustration. "He's wearing pajamas!"

"If he'd passed out two minutes sooner he could've died!" Rezzik gasped, appalled.

"Sire, this clearly wasn't the hospital's failure," he said, turning to the king. "This oaf put my patient in danger and-"

"Enough." Damas held up his hand, face hard.

"You are both to blame for what ultimately derailed the trials of fourteen candidates. Rezzik, I leave your penalty to be decided by your superiors. But Kleiver-"

He glared.

"Your only chance at retaining your position is if that boy had an extremely valid reason for hunting down that candidate."

Jak edged away from the guard offering him a canteen. "What counts as valid to you?" he asked pointedly.

The king paced to the edge of his dais, watching Jak with eyes a little too knowing. He folded one arm behind his back and studied him with none of the fire that had been directed at his own people.

"Newcomer, I will ask you only once, and you need only answer once. The man you killed: did he give you those scars?"

Jak went rigid.

They'd seen his scars.

They knew.

Nausea rocked him, crawling up his throat and tasting of shame.

"Boy?" The king pressed, "Did-"

"No." Jak practically spat the word out. "He kept me from escaping. He laughed. And now he's dead. Got a problem with that?"

The king scoffed slightly. He glanced back at Kleiver.

"You are fortunate today. I will retroactively approve an exception for the boy this once as a case of justified retribution. Do not let it happen again."

"Sire," Rezzik piped up again -- guy just didn't know when to keep his mouth shut -- "Arena exceptions must have signed affidavits from the guardian of the minor, mustn't they? As the attending physician, shall I-"

"Don't be a pot-stirrer, Rezzik," Damas said flatly.

Jak muffled a snort and exchanged amused glances with Daxter. At least he wasn't the one getting yelled at.

"No," Damas said, tense again and gritting his teeth, "Since apparently I am the only reasonable adult in this entire godsforsaken room today, I'll complete the affidavit."

He waved dismissively at the group.

"Do not compromise the trials of our candidates again. Negligence costs lives, and weakens our city, gentlemen."

Kleiver looked like he had a few choice words to say about that, but he dipped his head respectfully and marched away without a word. Jin and Faro cringed at each other, then made to grab Jak's shoulder.

"Come on, kid. You need to go back to the doc-"

Jak shoved Jin away and stumbled back.

"Don't touch me!"

Rezzik raised his hands placatingly, approaching as if the boy was a frightened baby animal.

"Hey, hey, it's alright, we only want to help you! I know you must be scared, but if you'll just let us get you back on the IV-"

Jak didn't hear anything else after that.

They were going to inject something into him.

They were going to strap him down and inject something into him-!

His breath shortened as he ducked Jin again. Faro was surprised enough by the elbow strike to his gut to loosen his grip on his gunstaff, and that was all Jak needed.

He ripped the weapon from the guard's hands and swung it in a wide arc, eyes wild.

"Get. Back."

Daxter snarled next to Jak’s ear. "Nobody touches my pal. Keep your filthy needles to yourself, or better yet, stick them up your-"

"Hey! Come on!" Faro complained, "That's custom, kid! You can't just jack a Wastelander's peacemaker, that's just not on!"

"You're not taking me back."

Jak swung the gunstaff again.

"I'm not going back there!

You can't take me back! I won't go back!"

Damas frowned and started down the steps. "What the bloody bones did you people do to make him do...that?!"

"That's...that's what I was trying to tell you before, sire," Rezzik said meekly as he backed away from Jak, "We didn't release him from care, he had some kind of...panic episode. Ripped out the IV and nearly killed Jessop on the way out."

The grinding of teeth was audible even at the bottom of the stairs.

"Petros is going to strangle you if he finds that you didn't take precautions with newcomer trauma," Damas said sharply.

"But we didn't know-! He was unconscious!"

"Get out."

Damas pointed to the elevator.

"Send Petros up here with his file after he deals with you."

When the guards didn't immediately follow the medic, Damas growled. "All of you get out! I've had enough foolishness for one day!"

"Sire," Jin gulped, "The uh, the boy-?"

"He's fine. I have to ask him questions for paperwork now thanks to at least one of you."

That left Jak and Daxter alone with the really really pissed off Wastelander King. (He hadn't even known there were enough Wastelanders to have a king!)

For almost a minute the man paced, swearing very colorfully under his breath. After six or seven very slow, deep breaths, he finally seemed to get control of himself again.

"How do you see needle scars and not think "hm, perhaps someone should stay with him to explain when he wakes up"? It's not that complicated!"

He pinched the bridge of his nose and groaned.

"Is it the full moon this week? It must be. Everyone's lost their twice-rotted minds around here."

He took another deep breath, and after letting it out slowly, he sat down on the edge of the dais.

"Well, I can hardly think of a worse introduction to Spargus than that, but I hope you won't hold it against me."

Jak kept the staff clutched tightly in his hands, but didn't aim it at the man yet.

"Who are you? And what's Spargus? I know it isn't in Haven. Nobody cares what age you are in Haven."

"Definitely not Haven." Damas buried a curse in his hands.

"Gods I hate that place."

Daxter scowled. "Join the club."

"My name is Damas. I am the king of the territory of Spargus, and the man who pulled you out of the desert that surrounds us. And you are going to be an interesting case, I can tell."

Damas used his staff to drag a box from the side of the throne to just beside him. After some digging, he came up with an oddly shaped piece of metal.

"Ah. There it is."

He looked up.

"This is a battle amulet. Earning three grants adult newcomers citizenship and equal legal protections in the city."

"What if you're not an adult?" Jak challenged.

"Then you're already a citizen, but you can't vote until you're nineteen." Damas dismissed this as if it barely warranted mentioning.

"Now, understand this, boy: I am giving you your first amulet. And I will give you the modular gun. But you will not be allowed to take further trials until you pass eighteen years of age. I will hold your gate pass until such time as you can show me you have learned to survive in the wastes out there."

"You're keeping us here?!" Jak bristled.

"You're a minor. You had heatstroke. It happens. And since my people want to be idiots today evidently, you and I are going to be stuck with each other for a couple years. So you'd better get used to this place." Damas turned and stood up to stretch.

"Frith-rot-it. I have to go get the bloody intake forms, make a whole folder now- Do we even have more guardian ad litem forms?!"

He stepped somewhere behind the throne and seemed to vanish. "Amuse yourselves while I'm gone. No drowning in my throne room.".

And then he was gone , leaving the boys with more questions.

"What...what just happened?" Daxter asked.

Jak didn't have an answer.

Trick understandings Check the thermostat setups to guarantee it is readied to 'cool down' setting and less than the present room temperature. Evaluate the breaker for stumbled switches and reset them if required, making sure the air conditioner's separate button is "on." Take a look at the air filter for dust and change or cleanse it if it's blocked, as this can affect air flow. Examine the outdoor condenser system for debris and clean the coils to ensure correct airflow and capability.

Ultrasound B-Scan in Indore: High-Precision Eye Imaging at the Indore Best Eye Hospital

When it comes to diagnosing eye conditions that affect the retina or other internal structures of the eye, visibility is everything. However, certain eye problems, such as vitreous hemorrhage or advanced cataracts, can make direct examination of the retina impossible. That’s where ultrasound B scan technology plays a vital role.

At the Indore best eye hospital, this advanced diagnostic procedure helps ophthalmologists see what the naked eye or standard examination tools cannot. The result is accurate diagnosis, faster treatment planning, and better outcomes for patients with serious or unclear vision issues.

What Is an Ultrasound B Scan?

An ultrasound B scan (brightness mode scan) is a safe, non-invasive imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create two-dimensional cross-sectional images of internal structures.

In ophthalmology, it is especially valuable as a B scan for eyes, allowing visualization of the retina, vitreous humor, choroid, and optic nerve. It is particularly effective when opacity in the eye prevents direct examination using traditional tools like ophthalmoscopes.

Although it is mainly used in eye care, a B scan can analyze different parts of the body as well, such as abdominal organs and soft tissues, depending on the application.

How Does an Ultrasound B-Scan Work?

During the procedure, a conductive gel is applied to the patient’s closed eyelid. A handheld transducer is then gently moved over the eyelid. The transducer emits sound waves that penetrate the eye and bounce back when they encounter internal structures.

These returning echoes are captured by the machine and processed to generate real-time images on a screen. This allows ophthalmologists to assess the condition of structures that are otherwise invisible.

This procedure is painless, quick, and requires no special preparation or aftercare.

When Is a B Scan for Eyes Recommended?

Ultrasound B-scan in Indore is recommended for patients with the following conditions:

Dense cataracts obstructing retinal view

Vitreous hemorrhage

Suspected retinal detachment

Eye tumors or intraocular masses

Posterior vitreous detachment

Foreign bodies due to trauma

Optic nerve swelling

Unexplained vision loss

Because of its ability to penetrate opaque structures, the B scan is often used as a first-line diagnostic tool when the retina cannot be directly visualized.

Key Benefits of Ultrasound B Scan

Having your scan done at a top eye hospital in Indore ensures several advantages:

Non-invasive and safe

No radiation exposure

Quick procedure with real-time imaging

Effective even when the view of the retina is blocked

High-resolution results when performed with modern equipment

The procedure is safe for all age groups and can be repeated if necessary for monitoring disease progression.

Diagnostic Applications of B Scan in Eye Care

The B scan for eyes is used by retina specialists for a wide range of purposes. Here are the most common applications:

Retinal Detachment

B-scan is essential in detecting retinal detachment, especially when direct viewing is impossible due to a cloudy cornea or dense cataract. It shows the extent and type of detachment and helps in pre-surgical planning.

Vitreous Hemorrhage

When bleeding occurs in the vitreous humor, the red blood cells obscure the retina. A B scan allows doctors to evaluate whether the retina is still attached and if any underlying conditions are present.

Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD)

PVD is common with age and can cause flashes or floaters. A B scan helps confirm this condition and rule out complications such as retinal tears.

Intraocular Tumors

B scan is used to detect and monitor tumors like retinoblastomas, melanomas, or choroidal hemangiomas. It helps assess their size, shape, and location for accurate treatment planning.

Foreign Bodies and Trauma

For patients with eye trauma, a B scan can detect foreign objects or damage inside the eye that may not be visible from the outside.

Ultrasound B-Scan in Indore: Why Choose Local Expertise?

Indore is emerging as a hub for advanced ophthalmic care. Getting a B scan for eyes at a trusted center ensures that:

The scan is performed using the latest equipment

Images are interpreted by trained retina specialists

Diagnosis is accurate and treatment can begin without delay

The Indore best eye hospital combines advanced diagnostics with patient-centered care, ensuring that each patient receives the attention they deserve.

Can a B Scan Analyze Other Parts of the Body?

Yes. Although its most common use is in ophthalmology, a B scan can analyze different parts of the body when applied in general ultrasonography. In broader medical practice, it is used to examine:

Liver and gallbladder

Kidneys and urinary tract

Pelvic organs

Soft tissue lumps

Fluid collection in joints or cavities

However, in the context of retina specialty care, the B scan's application is focused on the internal structures of the eye.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Patients are not required to fast or avoid medications before undergoing an ultrasound B scan. The process is simple and comfortable:

Conductive gel is applied to the eyelid

The transducer is placed and gently moved over the eye

Real-time imaging begins, lasting 10 to 15 minutes

The gel is wiped off and the patient is free to leave immediately

There is no downtime, no side effects, and the results are typically reviewed the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is a B scan safe during pregnancy? Yes. The procedure uses sound waves, not radiation, making it safe during pregnancy and for all age groups.

2. Can I drive home after the procedure? In most cases, yes. Since the eye is not dilated and there is no effect on vision, you can return to normal activities immediately.

Conclusion: Protect Your Vision with Early Diagnosis

If you or a loved one is experiencing sudden vision changes, don’t wait for the symptoms to progress. An ultrasound B scan in Indore is one of the most effective ways to detect and monitor serious eye conditions before they lead to permanent damage.

At the Indore top eye hospital, our team of retina specialists is equipped with the knowledge and tools to deliver accurate diagnoses and treatment plans tailored to your needs.

Busting 5 Myths Related to Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to diagnose and treat joint problems with precision. Despite its widespread use and success, several misconceptions about arthroscopic surgery persist. These myths can create unnecessary fear, hesitation, or unrealistic expectations among patients. In this blog by Dr Ankit Dave, one of the best doctors for arthroscopy surgery in Nairobi, helps us to bust five common myths about this advanced medical procedure.

Myth 1: Arthroscopic Surgery Is Only for Athletes

Reality: Arthroscopic surgery is not exclusive to athletes.

While it’s true that arthroscopic surgery is commonly performed on athletes to address sports injuries, it’s equally effective for non-athletes dealing with joint problems. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a desk worker, or a retiree, this procedure will be recommended by the best orthopaedic surgeons in Nairobi to treat a wide range of joint issues such as torn cartilage, ligament damage, or arthritis-related pain.

Arthroscopy is used on various joints, including the knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, and ankle, making it a versatile solution for people of all activity levels and ages. If you’re experiencing chronic joint pain or limited mobility, consult your doctor to determine if arthroscopic surgery is right for you.

Myth 2: It’s a Major Surgery with Long Recovery Times

Reality: Arthroscopic surgery is minimally invasive, leading to shorter recovery times.

Many people assume surgery always involves large incisions, extended hospital stays, and a lengthy recovery period. Arthroscopic surgery, however, is a minimally invasive technique that uses tiny incisions and specialized tools, including a small camera (arthroscope) to view the joint.

Because the procedure minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, patients typically experience less pain, fewer complications, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. In many cases, you can return home the same day, shares Dr Ankit Dave — one of the best doctors for arthroscopy surgery in Nairobi. While recovery timelines vary based on the joint treated and the individual, most people can resume normal activities within a few weeks or months.

Myth 3: Arthroscopic Surgery Is Only for Diagnosing Problems

Reality: Arthroscopic surgery is both diagnostic and therapeutic.

It’s true that arthroscopy allows surgeons to get a detailed view of the inside of a joint, making it an excellent diagnostic tool. However, it goes beyond diagnosis. During the same procedure, surgeons can repair damaged tissues, remove loose fragments, or smooth rough cartilage.

This dual capability means you can receive both an accurate diagnosis and immediate treatment in one procedure, eliminating the need for additional surgeries. For example, if your doctor discovers a torn meniscus during arthroscopy, they can repair it on the spot, saving you time and hassle.

Myth 4: It’s Risk-Free Because It’s Minimally Invasive

Reality: Arthroscopic surgery carries risks, but they are lower than traditional surgery.

While arthroscopic surgery is less invasive than open surgery, it is still a surgical procedure and comes with potential risks. These include infection, blood clots, swelling, or nerve damage, though such complications are rare.

The good news is that the minimally invasive nature of arthroscopy significantly reduces these risks compared to traditional open surgery. Additionally, advancements in surgical techniques and tools have made the procedure even safer over time. By choosing the best orthopaedic surgeon in Nairobi and following post-operative care instructions, you can further minimize potential complications.

Myth 5: Arthroscopic Surgery Cures Joint Problems Permanently

Reality: Arthroscopic surgery addresses specific issues but may not prevent future problems.

Arthroscopic surgery can effectively treat many joint issues, such as repairing torn ligaments, removing damaged tissue, or addressing inflammation. However, it’s not a cure-all for joint problems, especially if the underlying cause isn’t addressed.

For instance, if you have arthritis or poor joint alignment, arthroscopy can relieve pain and improve mobility, but it won’t stop the progression of arthritis or other degenerative conditions. Maintaining joint health through lifestyle changes — such as regular exercise, weight management, and avoiding high-impact activities — is crucial for long-term results. Discussing realistic expectations with your doctor is key to understanding what arthroscopic surgery can and cannot achieve.

Conclusion

Arthroscopic surgery is a game-changer for diagnosing and treating joint issues, but it’s surrounded by myths that can lead to confusion. By separating fact from fiction, you can approach the procedure with clarity and confidence. Always consult a trusted orthopedic specialist to determine the best treatment for your condition.

With proper care and realistic expectations, arthroscopic surgery can help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and improve your quality of life.

Halloween Fic: Prologue

(This angsty little bit actually happens month before the story itself, but it's very important worldbuilding for the story. When the whole thing is done, it'll be published on AO3 as a two-chapter whole)

"This one's temperature is too high."

Damas frowned down at the pallet beside the vast Precursor statue that loomed over the dais. The survivor he'd tracked the beacon to that morning in the desert lay there, unresponsive to the whispered chanting and cooling packs of the monks. He'd been shocked to discover that what he'd taken for a young soldier was barely more than a child under the sweat and grime embedded in his pores. By the size of the bones standing out just a little too visibly against the Unclaimed's skin, and the teeth they could count, Brother Rhys reckoned the boy could be no more than three and a half lustrums: seventeen at the oldest.

Seventeen was just barely old enough for the Trials, and that was just the high estimate of the stranger's age. That complicated the usual procedures of dealing with newcomers to Spargus. If he survived -- and at the moment it wasn't looking terribly likely -- and it turned out he was younger than seventeen, some kind of arrangement would have to be made for a child-Unclaimed.

"Do you not have cooling packs?" Damas asked, gesturing to the boy and the two animals that had been found with him.

"They are inadequate, my lord," Rhys answered. "Our supplies were greatly depleted after a failed expedition of several acolytes to the Great Volcano."

Was that all? The king of the Wastelanders turned away with a dismissive gesture.

"Then keep his body submerged until his core temperature stabilizes. I have questions for this one."

Silence followed the command. When Damas turned, the monks were watching him with conflicted expressions. He frowned and paced to the edge of the dais.

"Well?" he demanded.

Another monk, lower in rank than Brother Rhys, made a pacifying gesture and said apologetically, "We cannot, my lord. It is improper."

The king curled his lip at them. "Oh? Tell me, when did it become improper to render aid to a child?"

Rhys raised a hand, silently forbidding his companion from speaking further. He bowed his head.

"He is an Unclaimed, sire. Only those who brought the Unclaimed into your city may give them the rites of Water and First Breath, by law."

His meaning was clear: if Damas wanted to this one to live, he had to deal with it himself.

But there was a problem.

The monks would not treat submersion as an emergency medical treatment. They were rigid and uncompromising in the arena of new citizens. No matter what Damas said, if the Unclaimed was submerged, even to lower his temperature, they would record it as the rite of First Breath. But the rite of First Breath was reserved for those who had earned their first amulet in the Arena; those who understood the laws of Spargus and chose to stay, sponsored by their Finders, would use the ritual to move from Unclaimed to Foundling in the city census, gaining the same legal status as any child born within the walls.

This Unclaimed would die long before he had the chance to test his mettle in the ring if his temperature was not brought down, and soon. But without that amulet, if he were to step out of line later, he would not be the only one held accountable.

Damas took one last look at the limp form, and -- with a fairly imprecatory prayer under his breath to the Six Patrons of eco -- he made up his mind.

The king tossed aside his staff with an echoing clash of metal against stone. The monks twitched, and the guards at the lift jumped. Damas ignored them. He stormed down the steps of the dais and grabbed the skinny boy's arm. For a moment, he was thrown off by the texture of scars swirling across the skin like silvery fractals. More questions without answers. He shook away his curiosity and dragged the Unclaimed from the pallet and down to the edge of the pools. The orange creature raised its head and let out a choked cry -- it likely thought he was going to harm its human.

This wasn't going to help its opinion.

Damas stepped down into the water and hauled the Unclaimed bodily in after him. Frustration boiled under his skin, making his movements rough and brusque as he pushed the boy down under the surface and held him there.

The Six were mocking him.

You couldn't handle a toddler. Try again, maybe you can keep track of one big enough to protect himself? Try try again, Damas. Try and fail again.

The frustration bubbled up into his throat and tasted of bitterness.

He hadn’t asked for this.

He didn't want another child. He wanted his son. He wanted Mar.

But he knew in his heart that he was far too stubborn to let this one die.

One of the newer guards watched, and realized soon enough that the boy was awake, yet he did not struggle.

"This one is too weak, sire," he sneered, looking down with contempt, "Let the waters claim him."

And perhaps it would have been the merciful thing to do.

But Damas hated being told what to do.

And Damas had always been the kind of man who refused to admit defeat.

The boy's body would realize it needed air soon enough, surely. Any moment now.

Usually candidates are fully lucid during this rite for a reason....

Two seconds passed. Then five. Nine. At eleven seconds, the boy's eyelids twitched like he was going to open them. Good.

"Push," Damas whispered, stubbornly willing him to fight, "Push, whelp."

The Unclaimed's body tensed as if in response and one hand slowly, ever so slowly, rose to break the surface as if he'd just realized he was underwater. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open -- horribly, familiarly blue -- and his fingers snatched at whatever he could reach, clawing weakly at Damas’s arm.

It was enough.

Damas yanked him up out of the water by the collar of his mutilated tunic and the boy coughed out a mouthful of water. There would be no going back after this. The second they'd entered the water, the Unclaimed -- the Foundling's -- fate was bound irrevocably to Damas’s.

Grimly, and as quickly as was socially acceptable, Damas recited the words that would make the ritual binding -- and would add one more duty to his endless litany of tasks.

"Take your first breath, child of the wastes. By this birth and the hands that bore you, you belong to the people of Spargus."

"To the king of Spargus," the second monk softly corrected him, cutting off the rest of the words traditionally spoken as the young man sucked in a desperate gasp of air. "It is you who has chosen to forego the First Trial to give him his birth-by-water early. His fate is solely in your hands, my lord."

Damas snarled softly. "There was no need for it to be so," he reproached.

Emotionlessly, he hauled the Foundling from the pools and dropped him back onto the pallet.

"Heal him."

"Of course, my lord," the monk murmured. "As he is now part of your household, do you consent to the use of city eco to treat your Foundling?"

"Don't call him that." Damas turned away to retrieve his staff.

"It is what he is," Rhys observed placidly. "As you are his Finder-"

"I didn't ask to find the whelp," Damas hissed, "None of you were going to give him his rites!"

He marched past his throne, towards the exit of the chamber, stonefaced.

"Put him back in the water until one of you returns with the eco. Inform me if he recovers."

Between the monks, Jak lay on the pallet and stared at the ceiling with wide, glassy eyes.

If anyone had been paying attention, they would have seen his pupils dilate unnaturally wide.

The Importance of Professional Rigging Services: Finding the Right Rigging Near Me

Introduction

In the world of construction, manufacturing, and heavy lifting, rigging plays a pivotal role. Rigging involves the use of ropes, chains, and other equipment to move and secure heavy loads, often in challenging environments. Whether you're overseeing a large-scale construction project, managing a warehouse, or involved in any activity requiring heavy lifting, finding reliable rigging services near you is crucial. This blog post will delve into the significance of professional rigging services, the key aspects to consider when choosing a rigging company, and how to find the best rigging services near you.

The Importance of Professional Rigging Services

Rigging is an essential component in various industries, including construction, shipping, entertainment, and manufacturing. Professional rigging ensures that heavy loads are lifted, moved, and secured safely and efficiently. Here are some key reasons why professional rigging services are vital:

Safety: Safety is the foremost concern in rigging. Improper rigging can lead to accidents, injuries, and significant damage to equipment or property. Professional riggers are trained to handle complex lifting tasks and are well-versed in safety protocols and standards. They use high-quality equipment and follow strict safety procedures to minimize risks.

Efficiency: Efficient rigging is crucial for maintaining project timelines and productivity. Professional riggers have the expertise to plan and execute rigging operations swiftly and effectively, reducing downtime and ensuring that tasks are completed on schedule.

Compliance: Rigging operations must comply with various regulations and industry standards. Professional riggers are knowledgeable about these regulations and ensure that their operations meet all legal requirements, helping you avoid potential fines and legal issues.

Expertise: Professional riggers bring specialized knowledge and experience to the table. They can assess complex lifting scenarios, choose the appropriate equipment, and implement the best rigging techniques to achieve optimal results.

Equipment: Rigging involves the use of specialized equipment such as hoists, cranes, slings, and shackles. Professional rigging services typically have access to high-quality, well-maintained equipment that is crucial for the safe and effective handling of heavy loads.

Key Aspects to Consider When Choosing Rigging Services

When searching for rigging services near you, it's important to evaluate several factors to ensure you choose a reliable and competent provider. Here are some key aspects to consider:

Experience and Reputation: Look for rigging companies with a proven track record and extensive experience in the industry. A company with a strong reputation is more likely to provide reliable and high-quality services. Check online reviews, testimonials, and ask for references to gauge the company's reputation.

Certifications and Qualifications: Ensure that the rigging company you choose has the necessary certifications and qualifications. Certified riggers are trained to adhere to industry standards and safety regulations. Certifications such as those from the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) or similar organizations can be a good indicator of professionalism.

Equipment and Technology: Assess the quality and condition of the equipment used by the rigging company. Modern, well-maintained equipment is essential for safe and efficient rigging operations. Additionally, inquire about the technology and tools used for planning and executing rigging tasks.

Insurance Coverage: Verify that the rigging company has adequate insurance coverage. Insurance is essential to protect against potential accidents or damage during rigging operations. A reputable company will have liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage to safeguard your interests.

Cost and Value: While cost is an important consideration, it should not be the sole factor in your decision-making process. Focus on the value provided by the rigging company in terms of expertise, safety, and reliability. Obtain detailed quotes from multiple companies and compare them based on the services offered and the overall value.

Availability and Flexibility: Consider the availability and flexibility of the rigging company. Rigging projects often have tight schedules and may require adjustments. Choose a company that can accommodate your timeline and adapt to changing requirements.

Customer Service: Good customer service is essential for a positive experience. Choose a rigging company that communicates effectively, provides clear information, and is responsive to your needs and concerns.

Finding Rigging Services Near You

Now that you understand the importance of professional rigging services and what to look for in a provider, it's time to find the right rigging services near you. Here are some practical steps to help you with your search:

Online Research: Start by conducting an online search for rigging services in your area. Use search engines and business directories to find companies near you. Look for reviews, ratings, and detailed information about the services they offer.

Local Industry Associations: Check with local industry associations or trade organizations related to construction, manufacturing, or logistics. These associations often have directories of reputable rigging companies and can provide recommendations.

Networking: Reach out to colleagues, industry peers, or business contacts who have experience with rigging services. Personal recommendations can be valuable in finding trustworthy and reliable providers.

Consultation and Quotes: Contact multiple rigging companies to discuss your project requirements and obtain quotes. This will give you a sense of their expertise, pricing, and how they approach your specific needs.

Site Visits: If possible, arrange site visits to observe the company's equipment and operations. This will give you a better understanding of their capabilities and help you assess their professionalism.

Conclusion

Professional rigging services are essential for ensuring the safe and efficient handling of heavy loads in various industries. By choosing a reputable and experienced rigging company, you can minimize risks, enhance productivity, and achieve successful project outcomes.
