The spreadsheet is, within its limited capacities, helpful.

Eventually she gets something she's comfortable copying out onto one of the giant papers. In the time that takes, do any more prospective patients show up in her inbox?

Just a couple. Twisted ankle, the flu.

She double-checks the new diagram and sends it to Bella for triple-checking, in the form of one photo of the whole thing and a bunch of close-up photos to capture details that the camera didn't pick up in the main one.

It's gonna take me a while to go over this thoroughly.

Yeah, I'll be going over it again too. I have a couple more potential patients, but I can hold off on scheduling meetings for a couple days.

Okay. I can probably get my assessment to you by Thursday if not sooner.

Great, thanks!

She emails the person with the sprained ankle and the one with the flu, explains that they can try what she's got, and if that doesn't work or they'd rather wait they can try the more powerful version in a few days. 

Both of them would rather try what she's got now than wait a few days.

That's pretty unsurprising; she wouldn't want to have the flu or a sprained ankle any longer than necessary either. She makes arrangements to meet up with both of them; if they're in the Avalon she expects they'll both want house calls, considering.

They are and they do!

Then she'll take a break from analyzing diagrams to head over there with two more waivers and the healing rock she's already got.

They sign the waivers and are healed! Both seem substantially improved by the rock.

Oh good. She doesn't quite have a formal description of what sort of things are easier or harder to heal, but she's starting to get an intuition for it. Infections are easier, brain stuff is hard, anything where the problem is tightly coupled to some non-problem thing like pregnancy is hard too. She heads home and shares these observations in an email.

It's kind of weird that infection and injury can be handled by the same spell. I wonder if the infection is just healing the damage done by the infection and giving the immune system kind of a head start on what's still there.

Good question! I bet my mom can borrow bacterial culturing supplies and if not then the bio lab at my high school this fall probably will. I can try healing a Petri dish or something--maybe not that exactly, since a Petri dish isn't alive, but something where I can see easily whether a lot of bacteria died at once. Or maybe I can find an insect being parasitized by a smaller but still visible insect.

I feel like healing a petri dish is a fundamentally bizarre concept.

Definitely. It's bizzare enough that I'd want to do it just for that reason, except I'm worried it's so bizzare it'd be dangerous somehow.

Also, like, if the spell manages to interpret the petri dish's health as involving supporting lots of bacteria, it could get ugly that way.

Yeah, That's one potential form of "bizzare enough to be dangerous". I could try making an incantation that specifically says "kill these bacteria" to see if the magic is good at that, but if it is that doesn't prove it's what's actually going on.

Yeah, spells are also capable of water control but that doesn't mean that if you cast a spell and swelling goes down it's working by moving the fluid away. You might need to consult with a doctor about it to get better info.

Yeah. My mom can speculate, but she doesn't want me treating any of the animals she sees because she can't ask their owners' permission.

She looks up doctors/hospitals/etc in the Seattle Avalon.

Does she know anybody who does wild animal rescue or animal research or anything?

I asked, and she knows someone who treats injured wild birds. The other thing I could do would be to go to one of the Avalon doctors and see if they're open to some kind of arrangement where they use the rock and tell me what they find out.

They might or might not be depending on whether they're worried about you competing them out of a job...
