This is addressing what the ramifications are to an affected patient, during Medicae-Extended Care (Core p109) if the Primary Healer fails their Medicae Test.

• The patient does not die, as it states in RAW. Rather, that character undergoes a “Slow Recovery”.
• Patient takes characteristic damage to their Toughness in an amount equal to the DoF on the Medicae Test.
• Patient takes characteristic damage in an amount equal to the DoF on the Medicae Test, according to the location of their critical wound:
  • Leg – characterisitic damage is to Agility
  • Body – characteristic damage is to Willpower
  • Arm – characteristic damage is to Ballistic & Weapon
  • Head – characteristic damage is to Intelligence
• Each day the slowly recovering character makes a Challenging Toughness Test & suffers levels of Fatigue equal to their DoF.
• 31 days after the character recovers all their Wounds, they make a Difficult Toughness Test.
  • Success – means all effects from their “Slow Recovery” end: no more daily Fatigue & they recover all characteristic damage suffered from their Slow Recovery.
  • Failure – after every block of 7 days thereafter, they can make another Toughness Test at one level of difficulty easier to end their “Slow Recovery”.
