Good catch, I didn't notice the surname and was wondering about how a black guy was just hanging around. Those kids seem hella chipper for people who just lost their ma. Life made them so hard back then. Regarding most of the medicines not doing anything, check out that podcast I linked upthread - "Not doing anything" is probably pretty accurate for the time period.

Can we make it a standing order to always ask for advice? Like any good goon-wagon, we should paralyse ourselves with a million different opinions before ignoring them all and doing something dumb. (Also, I wanna see what the game has to say.)

Epicurius posted:I've come to the conclusion that Dr. Gunn's medical philosophy is, "If the patient can survive the treatment, he'll survive pretty much anything." I don't get how you get from 'lungs are hosed up' to 'make them vom constantly'. Like, he knows lungs and stomach are seperate things, right?
