Nathaniel Francesco's medical services
Services for the living
Revival
With proper connections Nathaniel can help bring a deceased one back to life. Nikodemus Desalvar proceeds with revival functions.
Recovery and reattachment of limbs
Reattachment of recently severed limbs (belonging limbs or limbs from dead donors). Reattachment of limbs to long-twrm amputees through means of injesting vampiric blood - the process includes several days of bed rest and immobilization of limb until the body has accepted the donor limb. The practicing surgeon is not to be held accountable for the death of the patient with vampiric blood in their stream, resulting in him or her turning into a vampire. In such cases the practicing surgeon is not obliged to perform usual sire duties as he is not officially bound or responsible for the newborn vampire.
Extraction of information through torture
The act of causing severe physical pain as a form of punishment or as a way to force someone to do or say something. Torture is more effective in Nathaniel's capable hands as he is able to use vampiric blood to heal any wounds resulting from physical torture, after which he inflicts further pain and injuries.
Services for the dead
Recovery of the dead
Locating and recovering the deceased; Nathaniel deals with tracking down corpses and recovering a body when the family does not want to deal with it.
Identification of the dead
Personal property found on or with the deceased may be of assistance in supporting a presumptive identification, although it should be remembered that people may be wearing clothing or jewellery belonging to someone else! Similarly, documents, such as driver’s licence etc.
Handling the dead
When a corpse is brought to a funeral home, it is sometimes embalmed to delay decomposition. The procedure typically involves removing sufficient blood material (and storing it for later vampiric uses) to accommodate the preservative chemicals and dyes, aspirating the internal organs and setting the facial features. Cosmetics are used with the consent of the family to improve the appearance of face and hands for a more natural look. Necromantic spells and transformative magic may be used to make the deceased appear more naturally blushed and living; necromantic magic may backfire and ressurect the dead instead.
