Sickness/injury appears as a plot point quite frequently in Rawhide; although it's rarely portrayed realistically (e.g., Rowdy's infamous for suffering no lasting effects from getting bashed on the head repeatedly), I like it when the writers incorporate medical terminology from the era. I don't know much about the period, so it's interesting to read up on.

[Spoilers below for S3E3 Incident at Dragoon Crossing; discussion of medical stuff, cw surgery, cw addiction]

Favor falls sick in Incident at Dragoon Crossing (headache, blurry vision, can't think straight), and he attributes it to a skull fracture he suffered during the war, which doctors told him might lead to brain fever, blindness, or worse. The other trail boss, Cord, who takes over the herd on Favor's behalf while he goes to see a doctor, suggests it might be something else. It turns out it's a bad fever, and medicine from a doctor (and some rest in a proper bed) helps him get better.

When Cord goes to take over the herd and tells the drovers that Favor is sick and has gone to see a doctor, Wishbone says Favor doesn't go in for doctors and he's never had anything Wishbone couldn't treat with salts, paregoric, and something I can't quite recall at the moment. (Paregoric is camphorated tincture of opium, a household remedy of the period, used to treat diarrhea, cough, and pain. I haven't gotten round to really reading up on the common use of the term "salts," but I suppose they could be compounds of mercury, etc., or maybe Rochelle salt? Anyway, I came across this list of drugs carried in a civil war medical wagon, which does include paregoric and Rochelle salt.)

Earlier in the episode, when Pete and Wishbone notice that Favor seems ill, Wishbone (I think) suggests Favor might have the ague (i.e., malaria, or another fever characterized by fever and chills - see this nifty tiny resource from a UPenn course for a flavor of how it figured in people's lives then). Wishbone mixes something dark from a small bottle into a cup of coffee for Favor, which Favor immediately detects and spits out, lol. (Probably not quinine, though quinine is bitter.)

In reading up about head injuries during the American Civil War, I saw that trephination (making a hole in the skull) was a procedure that saw some use (article from National Museum of Civil War Medicine); it had a high mortality rate, but apparently was better than trying expectant management. Perhaps Favor had a relatively minor fracture that didn't require such treatment, but he doesn't specify what, if any, treatment he received. Perhaps just pain management by way of morphine and opium? (The use of which, by the way, led to many veterans suffering opiate addiction even long after the war.)

Given that the writers included ague, brain fever, and paregoric, I wonder if they could have been more specific about the type of illness Favor had and the medicine that was used to treat it. Any thoughts? I'm over here amusing myself thinking that he basically popped an aspirin and got all better. (Or willow bark tea, for something more period-appropriate.)

#rawhide #episodes #s3e3 #incident at dragoon crossing #gil favor #text post #civil war era medicine #I basically feel the same as Favor did in the ep and I'm just distracting myself #this took too long to write 'cause I can't think straight either #Wishbone pls help

Okay so I've been eating your art for a few days? Weeks? Months? Ever since I found you through my Welcome Home hyperfixation help it has me in it's death grips and just, admiring all the details you put into your pieces?

Like, I can't tag every little detail I come across and like from what you post, because I would be too distracting from the contents of the post and my gushing and speculating derived from that alone, but I see and like them even if I don't say too much about it.

For instance, don't think I didn't see the grime at the edges of Frank's frown and mouth in your Lights Out AU post! It is such a small detail to notice, but it really sells the idea of the puppets becoming grimy, scruffy, and dirtier as time goes on and they are stuck in the dark with little to nothing to clean themselves. I feel like it is most noticeable with their hair, as my gosh do they all need a hair brush by the time we see the group interactions of the unlikely four, but I enjoy seeing their disheveled selves as they try to go through life in the dark. While I won't pick up on every little detail, the stuff I do see is really interesting a think about, that you didn't need to add it but you did because you enjoyed making it l, and it's pretty heartwarming in a way for me you know?

Anyways, as a fellow artist, it's both cool and concerning because I get the gist of how much time and energy it can take to make stuff! I enjoy and adore your art and thoughts a ton, just remember to take care of yourself and not to push too hard on yourself to make stuff! Stretch and drink water, etc etc etc, and remember there are always people who will like what you make, be it dragons, welcome home stuff, and oc thingies!

AH IM

WHY ARE ALL OF YOU SO NICE!!! MY STUNTED EMOTIONS CANT HANDLE IT!!!! no but seriously i had to take a break reading this to walk through my house and Simmer Down bc man... the reaction pic is accurate.... i made Several dying animal noises!
