Hey all! I want this topic to have a few uses…

(Also, this is probably not the est topic for squeamish people, or people who mind a bit of gore. And @daeus-lamb , is it ok for things that could potentially be gory to be discussed? If not, please let me know lol. I would kinda think it’d be ok as long as there’s a disclaimer at the beginning?? Is this ok?)

First, those of us who have extensively researched things (specifically things that require elaborate Google searches) for our WIPs (or other reasons), that other people would like to research as well but can’t make Google cooperate, can briefly describe what it is they’ve researched, and people can either ask questions directly to the person who has done the research, or ask what site was used. (please tell me that made sense…)

Secondly (and this is kinda an extension of the first thing), if there’s somebody who’s collected tons of notes about bullet wounds, say, and they notice someone has a question about bullet wounds, they can answer that for ’em.

Sound cool? K, cool.

So now I have a question… Has anyone researched wound infections? I have a character who has an open wound that got infected, and what I basically would like to know is this… What is the infection like from the inside of the wound? Like, does it get into the bloodstream? Do “streaks” of it run through the muscles? If I was to, like… (and this is a bit gory. I’m so sorry. Please don’t hate me)… cut a chunk of infected limb and look at it from the underneath side, what would I see?

This is kinda important to the development of the story… so like… And really, I don’t mind researching it myself. I have been doing so. But you know how Google is with detailed searches…
