Circe Bloise had plenty tricks up her sleeve, and of these many tricks, she was actually particularly proud of her aptitude for the medical field. But having spent centuries locked away in that stupid egg contraption, she’s lost her touch. Her flow. Her expertise. That much she was sure of and... it’s disappointing, to say the least. But that doesn’t stop her! But then again, in many ways, it doesn’t exactly encourage her either. Instead, it merely drives her to essentially re-learn everything she knew at one point in her life. That went for everything of course, but most importantly, she was going to learn the ins and outs of human medicine and procedures once again.

Maybe get an insight on practical healing and application, as well as tending to the sick and even wounded animals. It was all necessary shit. Taking to Harue’s library, the feline scans lackluster shelves in search of a book whose topic surrounds medicine and the like. After some time of looking, and turning up nothing, Circe exhales hard, annoyed endlessly with her new master’s poor literature collection. She’d have to go and purchase a book, then. So she does just that. She knows the book she’s looking for, and finds it easily - it’s a thick documentation, the hard-back book looking ridiculously big especially compared to her small frame. She hugs it to her front with thin paws, her body completely disappearing behind it.

She doesn’t mind the strange way the bookkeep looks her over as she pays for it with a few fake coins, heading back ‘home’ quickly with her new purchase. It would help her immensely! Taking it and sitting back in the library of Harue’s home, Circe begins flipping through the pages of the First Aid dictionary. It was pretty basic stuff and what it began with was much of what Circe remembered, but she knew there was more to it than just keeping someone healthily supplied with food and water. Even though this all seems basic enough, she does read through it thoroughly, cataloging in her brain just how present she’d have to be in the case of monitoring someone’s health. The answer was.. A lot more than she would like to admit - why couldn’t the human body do this shit on its own? Some of it was simple.

Furthermore, the book went into morbid detail about how to prevent infections and diseases, and how to treat them as they arise. Circe’s nose crinkles as it makes mention of the yellow grime and puss that often secretes from infected wounds, then takes a second to close the book over her paw to keep her place, gagging mockingly before continuing again. Humans were so disgusting, inside and out. Momentarily, Circe takes a second to flip to the glossary in the back of the large book. She found what she was looking for surprisingly easily. Circe flipped to the section that spoke briefly about helping animals. Thankfully, some ninja view their animal companions as family, and treat them with such hospitality.

She skims, as apparently treating an animal’s wound isn’t much different from treating that of a human’s. The most valuable differentiations are the separate ways to tie tourniquets, and which man-made medicines and grown herbs work well with animals, and which ones are dangerous to them. Satisfied with what tidbits about the animal healing she gets from that section, she flips back to where she was earlier in the book, unfolding the dog-eared corner of the page she’d used to mark it. Back to the cut and dry. Literally. She read carefully about tending lacerations and gashes, and even amputations and the like. It lead her to cauterization, which was a handful in and of itself.

Circe’s favorite thing about cauterization was that it is both painful and necessary, in the cases that it is necessary. Healing by inflicting pain was something she could really get behind, and unfortunately for most, healing often comes with tremendous amounts of pain. Especially when your healer is a bit on the sadistic side. Ah, well. Generalizations aside, Circe really was relearning quite a bit, and some of this crap she hadn’t even known beforehand. How long had she been out of commission? Medical intelligence has increased quite a bit since the last time she had to dabble in healing others, and she hadn’t even moved on to the chakra portion of healing yet.

But that had always been the way it was, and she doubted that the channeling of positive chakra energy had changed much in the last few centuries. Whichever century this was, anyway. If Circe was going to keep reading about the ins and outs (literally) of humans and the like, she was going to need a pickmeup. She fetches a tall glass of wine before settling back down in the large comforting chair, pulling open the large medical book once again. If Harue was home and saw the feline with the large book pooling over her hind legs, sitting like a human with a page under one claw and a wine glass in her other paw, she would have been so, so confused. But to Circe, it was nothing more than studying.

Mindless studying at that. Flipping through each page, she takes the time to analyze each piece of information that she’s never absorbed before. The other stuff was more like fluff and filler, shit that she only had to think about for a moment before she was reminded again. Most of what she read brought her back quite a ways, reminding her of a time where she was on a field. Constant buzzing around her, there had always been noise, but her concentration was always singleminded - focused on the wellbeing of others, of her first master. She closes her eyes and inhales deeply, taking a sip of her drink to distance herself from that heartache. It wasn’t worth thinking about - she could understand everything through reading. Not through digging through her own mind.

So she heartily continues her studying throughout the day, chunking out a good portion of her late morning and early afternoon. Before she knows it, she’s read quite a bit of her book and learned a helluva lot more than she even realized there would be to learn from the book. It was a book she was familiar with, but it seemed to be constantly updated throughout the years. Many of these pages she didn’t recognize, many of these words she hardly understood. Medical technology was quite advanced, and she noticed that they even had strange devices that allowed you to inject different substances into veins, or even extract from those same veins. That was new, to say the least, but also a bit concerning. Syringes? Injectors? Transfusions? Chemicals?

Chemicals in the bloodstream is what worried Circe most about humans. Why would they inject a foreign substance into themselves? With some thought, she realizes that it’s not much different from creating potions or elixirs, or even mixing and crushing herbs together until you’ve created a healthy paste. It was just more substance to help. Or abuse, she theorized, noting that some of the effects of modern medicine recreated a sort of high or euphoria. She reads up on the types of medicines and their treatment, but only briefly. She wasn’t keen on alchemism, so she wouldn’t be one for creating potions and elixirs or any other of these ‘medicines’ and remedies.

She herself would be the remedy, as she knew there was a chakra-infused alternative for nearly 90% of the procedures she was reading about. Unless there was more to it than what it spoke of. After all, alternatives are often shortcuts, but which came first? The chicken or the egg? Circe snickers, flipping ahead a few pages. She already knew about how to bring someone’s temperature down, she didn’t need a step by step diagram on pressing a cold washcloth to someone’s forehead. Though… that thought worries her, and suddenly she’s afraid that she really is behind the times. What if there was a device that did it for you now?

Begrudged, Circe grunts as she flips the pages back and skims through the section anyways. You never know, right? But alas, there was no high-tech modern technology that brought a temperature up and down for the sake of health - not one that was labeled in this book, anyways. Aside, of course, from otherwise magical or chakral means. So Circe goes on to the pages she was about to skip to, and continues reading from there. She inhales sharply, growing quite bored by the subject matter. That is, of course, until she gets to some particularly gory pictures that didn’t make her gag. There weren’t gross formations of puss and scabs like earlier in the book, at least.

These pictures were more light-hearted than gross manifested diseases and infections. Thankfully, it was just of guts and gore. Circe gulps down a few sips of her drink and sets it aside, pulling the book up into both paws so she can examine the pictures more closely. It was talking about the specific arrangement of organs and likewise, Circe wondered if it was getting at topics such as vivisection or otherwise stranger means of medical use. But it was really only an informative diagram, topped with some in-depth descriptions of organs and their functions. Not to mention how to remedy the ache of certain ones, or the type of pains that each one suffers from time to time.

Circe is absolutely disgusted by the next page. Instead of guts and insides, it was of genitals. Disgusting! She lets out a yowl, quickly flipping to the pages after that. She knew if Harue was here, the girl would insist it was only natural and it wasn’t gross, but Circe knew otherwise. The next page continued the topic from the page before, but thankfully it was without pictures. Circe was forced to pick up mid-paragraph, which was talking about the menstruation process for female humans. Circe’s jowl curls over her teeth, her nose wrinkling. Not only did the menstruation process seem horrid, but the alternative was no pipe dream to be compared to. Between the blood or the baby, Circe would honestly crave death.

That was the bad thing about her reading this damned book. She had to know the gross shit, too. “Ewgh,” Circe vocalizes her distraught as the next page shows a diagram of a baby being born. Was this really all basic medical aid? Sighing, Circe supposed this was basic stuff that she’d have to know. After all, what if Harue pooped out a baby miles away from the closest hospital? Or what if that smelly pink beast of hers got his junk clawed off in an altercation? Disgusting. They’d have to suffer, because Circe wasn’t helping in that case. Vehemently, she moves on to the next section of the medical book. It wasn’t nearly as disgusting as the discussion of the reproductive systems and how they conceive.

Internal bleeding, punctured lung, kidney stones. This was the shit Circe could stomach. Not that disgusting… ugh! She couldn’t even say the words, not even internally. It was too atrocious. She reads on eagerly if not only to move on from that all, and learns about the consequences of bleeding internally or losing oxygen from a punctured lung. Of course, she learned of how to remedy these things as well, and when to read the signals that there was no coming back from them. Really, Circe reflected, this book was a lot of negativity regarding how many more ways there were to fail than to succeed. And apparently, you only got one chance. One fuck-up and there was no coming back in most cases.

That was a bit concerning too. The fact that there are for more ways to let someone die than there are to help someone survive. If Circe was a bit softer, she might have felt a pang of sadness for the human race, but really it just seems pitiful to her. Okay, it’s a little sad, but not enough for her to care too much. She reads on, taking a sip off her wine idly as she paws through some pages of mostly pictures. There was a lot of pictures. Only half of them were okay to look at, and the rest were just disgusting. Such was the way of a doctor, she supposed. Not that she would really consider herself a doctor, but more as someone who could heal sometimes.

After reading a bit of the back of the book, Circe realized that was true. This book was centered more on the ins and outs, not necessarily the necessities and actions to take. Of course it does speak of those, but mostly indirectly. It wasn’t a ‘how to be a doctor’ thing, it was more… ‘how to know how to be a doctor.’ Which, wasn’t that kind of the same if you took the liberty upon yourself to apply the information found within the book? Moseying back to her dog-eared page, Circe pushes that out of her mind and keeps reading. Even if she was going to learn how to do more, she still had to know why she was doing what she was learning how to do.

Circe’s thoughts are somewhat jumbled, so she takes another draw from her glass. She was getting down to the last sips and soon she’d need more, especially if she was going to keep studying. She had nothing better to do, and she was sick of curling up like a real cat and sleeping all day. So studying it was. Flipping through page after page, Circe tried to ignore the fact that she was learning quite a bit. The further into the book she got, the less she knew. That was the will of learning, so it seemed, and Circe absorbs it all hungrily and steadily. After refilling her glass, she felt much more inclined to continue.

As she reads on, Circe sips from her glass. She is introduced to another picture, the first in some time now, and it’s a recreated model of a DNA strand. It points out specific points on the genomes that indicate different things, and mentions that strands are much like fingerprints. While some may look identical, no two are the same - and if they are, then there’s some cosmic reason for it. That last part was just a theory, one that stems from the thought of doppelgangers on top of clones, as well as Bunshin and the like. It goes briefly into kekkei genkai even, but not how to ascertain the different types or doujutsus. It was lacking in some aspects of intellect, this book, but she supposes that wasn’t necessarily a medical thing.
