Request that treatment for bruises changed from icepack to spray

Hey there! The icepack thing is something that needs to be held or tied to the area, and while it serves to decrease the inflammation there, it is more of a home remedy, and seems a tad low tech for the setting.

I wanted to suggest the icepack be RPed as given to the patient to use from time to time, and treatment instead involve using an anti-inflammatory/analgesic spray.

Alternatively, make the spray a treatment for medics, and the icepack a treatment everyone has, that they can use in a pinch.

Another thing to consider is Ice packs need both refrigeration and power for said refrigeration. Sprays don’t, and are easier to carry around.

I’m down for sprays. Just wanted to throw my two cents in on another alternative. A cooling pad. I know there are some cooling patches that have a strong cooling effect that is activated by flexing the pad to activate the chemicals in the gel inside of it. Very similar to an ice pack, doesn’t need to be refrigerated, high enough tech. Usually used for migraines and headaches.

This is a fantastic idea, thank you!
