Organ Stitching

Utility
Combat Care
Organ stitching is a life-saving battlefield medical technique that combines surgical precision with restorative camay. It involves using enchanted threads to reattach, reconstruct or resuscitate damaged internal organs. This often strengthens the mended tissue to be more durable than their natural counterpart. For instance, a ruptured lung can be sutured, restoring the patient’s ability to breathe or a pierced heart can be reanimated after 10 minutes.Social Impact
Scepticism
The purported ability to necromatically pull people back together, to the people who hear of it, is deemed as nearing nonsensical. Add to that its shear rarity, and genuine confusion over its process abounds even in professional circles. Speculation often runs rampant; particularly, whether or not the supposed stiches are material or incorporeal. One side believes that the stitches are mundane - made from silver silk or steel wires. These materials are infamously strong and give credence to the idea that they would be what reinforces the tissues.On the other hand, tales often repeat how the medic neatly weaves their hand, or hands, over an injury and the thread manifests where it is needed inside the patient.
These tales go even further in uplifting the field doctor to a full-on combatant; attacking and defending and healing with ethereal strings, as if they were some merciless spider.
