[Lab coat on, it's another general address. Anyone paying attention might note he rarely (deliberately) uses the network for anything personal.]

All non-emergency surgical procedures are officially cancelled until further notice. The hospital can no longer guarantee a non-contaminated operating space. If anyone knows a way to hold the sand back, or of somewhere that's not emulating the Sahara, please get in touch. When I want to go to work in flip-flops I'll open that beach shack.

[He reaches forward to turn off the monitor. Hesitates.]

Oh, and for those of you who weren't taught it when you were three: don't take candy from strangers.


[ooc: he's eaten dozens of the hearts, but he's unlikely to be telling -you- that. His secrets are available in multiples and still open for takers.]

[Have something cut and pasted:]

If anyone knows a way to hold the sand back

I thought it was general enough.

You'll have more luck with specificity.

If I had the time or imagination for a list. Are you offering?

Your post is one out of many. People skim. And around here, a bunch of sick people aren't enough to garner attention.

Can't help you there.

Right. Then thanks for the communications lecture. I'll try and anticipate all magical eventualities in future.

[fatespoken]

Wouldn't hurt to use your imagination.

Good luck.

Wait.

You don't ask a question like that out of the blue. You might as well have asked if I'd checked if anyone kept a tiny sand-repelling leprechaun in their pocket. You asked something specific, which means you know something specific about it.

Which means you know something that could be helpful.

People can die from wound infections. If you know something, please, tell me.

"Magic" users around here are like stars in the sky. Ticks on a dog. Whatever stupid metaphor you want to use.

Find someone who can make barriers. A bubble, preferably. You'll likely waste your time when you discover that magic can't stop the sand, but why not? Either that or a tarp.

I'll go down the list. Is your number already on it?

[fatespoken]

No.

I'm not going help you look for them. That's your job, doctor.

[intheblanks]

Not at all, it's something I'm doing over and above my job.

Just trying to save myself a phone call.
