you can just assume medieval folk beliefs are real. here's an image and passage about toads having a magic stone that heals poison. alright, so, toads can be used to heal people. don't even check. cut to the chase. just assume there is something true about it. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e929b4ab47d5307c3ccc1f9099a7fa8cb855f0610c785753ff6aa14ce3f80a7c.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/cc6c8b5bd59e1a9cc6715b9d14d5890e6d27fe0272b60fc7f76418b66a672db6.file
went to get my blood drawn. im in the lab room where they take it. huge spider crawls out. the nurses all panic. i ask for a cup and take him outside. i feel this goes above and beyond my duties as a patient here. perhaps, for example, i should receive some extra blood for this.
