    I'm not quite sure about doctors, but Germany has lost 9000 (nine thousand!) people in care jobs (nurses, elderly care, …) last year due to Covid-related burn out and lack of appreciation. We have about 1.8 million people in such jobs, so it's "only" 0.5%, but still an incredible figure, especially when stations are already run at the legally mandated minimum staffing. And a lot more are likely to follow once this whole thing has blown over and they don't feel the intense obligation to not leave their colleagues and patients alone any more.

    there was a talk on surgery on the ISS I went to at WorldCon in Dublin in 2019. IIRC the guy giving the talk had been involved in some (early) NASA research. I don't remember the guy's name or the specific details, but one thing I do remember is that he said that suction didn't really work for some reason, and so based on their research, the best approach was the wick blood away e.g. with something like gauze (although presumably a lint-free version) another thing he mentioned was the issue of traction. In normal gravity, when doing surgery you can easily push bits out of the way to reach bits of the body hidden behind others, but in microgravity there's no friction against the table and so if you take the same actions you would in normal gravity, you'd just move the patient in one direction and you in the other, and so you'd need to fully immobilise the patient and all their extremities, as well as also immobilising the centre of mass of the surgeon so that they don't accidentally send themself flying across the room or spinning when they want to move something out of the way. Another problem he mentioned is that surgeons are used to seeing the surgical field (especially in open surgery of the chest) with gravity pulling organs towards the spine, something that obviously isn't the case in microgravity and so not only will organs not sit the way the surgeon expects, they might also rearrange in odd ways as the cavity is opened all in all, when discussing things like major spinal injuries or other trauma requiring urgent surgery, he said that at the time nasa concluded there was no way to perform the procedure in orbit at the time and bringing the patient to earth could easily be fatal. The doctors were all shocked by this, and were very insistent that the missions should be delayed until something could be worked out but, being military men, the astronauts just nodded and accepted it as a risk of their mission

    Kjell Lindgren held a talk at Worl Con 75 at Helsinki I was at. One of his anecdotes was "When I was on ISS, the only crew member I was authorized to perform surgery on was the Robonaut" (He actually had picture of him elbows deep in internals of robonaut installing new parts to it). Lingdgren being a NASA staff flight surgeon turned Astronaut and so among the most qualified people to potentially be a fligth crew doctor. But he said "I'm a doctor and I was a flight surgeon before being astronaut, but I wasn't the crew doctor". Rather all his medical expertize meant he did some medical and biological base research experiments on board during his mission. His talk about all the medical changes and biological weirdness (ones calluses on feet peeling off and other such nice bodily stuff) was plenty eye opening. As was his "yeah.... like space medicine in space... ehhhhh doesn't really exist that much yet. We are researching it, but plenty more needs to be done before there can be a crew doctor onboard a mission". Main medical treatment measure for any sickness happening on ISS..... Not having that sickness in first place via extremely strict pre screening and quarantining. The tiniest flue just as you are about to fly will get you bumped of flight, since well what if you give everyone on board flue.... the snot storm aboard ISS would be horrible and actually potentially rather dangerous. ISS doesn't even have the level of medical kit an Ambulance crew would have.... Since much of the equipment, drugs and procedures to be used with that gear has not been tested to be safe to use in space. So it isn't on board. Since one doesn't do stuff like "let's just put it in for sake of we might be able to use it in emergency". Since using non tested stuff in emergency might just make things much worse. Anything serious happens and the solution is "EVAC to Earth and tell the emergency flight medical team to be on high alert on landing zone". The main question then is as said above "will the person survive re-entry" and sometimes the answer just is space is hard and dangerous. If they stay, they are certainly dead. If they EVAC, they might die due to re-entry stress. Well medical team estimates they might have chance to survive the re-entry, so small change of survival is better than certain death? In worst case "you die if you stay, you die if you re-enter. Soooo you are going to die." Third scenario is "they might survive on their own with the near non existent treatment we can provide on ISS until they recuperate enough to EVAC to Earth.... Sooo roll the dice and see if the person recuperates enough to EVAC." By the way Lindgren is rostered to be commander of Crew-4,so he should be flying soon again.

    Watching the knee replacement simulation reminded me of the true story of why I didn’t follow in my mother’s footsteps, any study medicine. Mom was a brilliant pediatrician who had been fascinated by anatomy when she was a young girl, notably she would dissect mice that got caught in traps, sometimes getting up in the middle of the night when she hear a trap snap shut, and working by the light of a kerosene lantern (mom was born in 1927, we didn’t get electricity until 1970). She says she did her first dissection when she was 12 year old, so when I was 12, and a mouse had been caught in a trap, mom sat me down and guided me through dissecting it. I found it only mildly interesting, and kinda gross, and apparently conveyed some level of my lack of interest, because mom never brought up anything about me studying medicine ever again, and when I choose computer engineering as my major she wished me well, having no illusions that I would have been a good doctor.

    This made me think about my History of Medicine course from high school. It strikes me that bleeding as well as infection are the main risks. These problems were only "solved" terrestrially relatively recently in human history with the development of germ theory and blood transfusions, and then later antibiotics aiding with infection control. No doubt there is a lot of work to do for space travel, but we stand on the shoulders of giants and with the rate of innovation we're seeing now I'm confident we will conquer space medicine remarkably quickly as space travel becomes more accessible.

    Arteries are avoided when possible and as cuts through tissue are made, small vessels are cauterised so don't bleed. For big vessels that need sewing up like in a transplant, you clamp them, cut and suture, then unclamp

    I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL (yet, I hope to attend medical school upon A-Level completion) - But my assumption is you'd cauterise blood vessels and only cut in specific areas. You'd also have blood transfusions available to you if something goes wrong and blood pressure drops too low to avoid hypovolemia.

  • @vitasartemiev

    You won't bleed out, at least not very fast, if you don't hit an artery or internal organs. You can get some kind of infection, so you may die from that, however during a surgery the room is sanitized to reduce that risk as much as possible. Also your position matters. The wound should be the highest point of your body to decrease blood pressure. Modern surgical tools are design to cut very precisely, with as little damage as possible. There are modern cutting tools that further decrease bleeding by cauterizing small blood vessels using electricity, lasers, ultrasound, etc. In case a surgeon needs to go through a significant artery, there are tools to clamp it to stop bleeding (it can be reattached later), there are tools to suck up your blood and recycle it, pumping it back. You're also probably hooked up to an external blood supply/saline, just in case. There are also drugs to control blood coagulation that can be applied through the same IV line.

    @@oxybrightdark8765 Yeah, he was. That didn’t address my concern. My question was whether the (mis)calculation was part of the joke or not. I mean, he could have used, like, 380,000 spoon-lengths and per the logic of his statement he’d still be correct in a deductive sense, it’s just that the assumption that a spoon length equates to a kilometer is very wrong, and so the joke would have an even more absurd conclusion. He also could have used something actually comparable to a kilometer and still mocked the imperial system because he had to go to such an arcane or odd comparison. I’ve actually seen some very smart people make some very dumb calculations like that, though. I’m leaning into the idea that he intentionally misused the field-to-kilometer comparison as part of the joke, but it’s so on the nose with what actually does happen the joke is almost not a joke.
