It basically flushes all the radiation by having it be absorbed from the body by iodine I think, and well, all that absorbed radiation waste has to go somewhere, so you poop it all out.

[@OldSkullSoldier]

@@benjaminmenken5693 Well, iodine only works in one particular bodypart. It saturates iodine levels in your body to harmful levels (yes - this can break the thyroid off balance). So it only protects from one single element. In fallout there are lots of other radiating elements that you are not protected and that doesn't have any stable version (same atomic number, different qty of neutrons).

The issue is if your body does the healing process too quickly. You can get all kinds of nasty back bacteria in that wound which could be very problematic, so basically the entire process is focused on not allowing bacteria to replicate in the wound, which is usually a pretty ideal place for bacteria to replicate

[@fingerboxes]

To be fair, humans are all born premature. That's why we can't walk 10 minutes after birth like everything else can. It's part of an evolutionary trade-off: our brains are too big for our birth canals so to be smart later, we have to be premature and useless early.

With all the monsters and irradiated creatures in the Fallout series, which ones could potentially exists and which ones are improbable - like in a biological sense?

[@papashmup3529]

I would like to see that

[@KaitoGillscale]

Very few because sadly radiation DOESNT work like that. The IDEA is that mutation from radiation causes advanced degridation of the safeguards between a body's DNA and changes...but in reality most of the mutations from this change are for the worse and rarely cause enlargement. Three legs are possible but growing 2x as large is...rare. It's also nearly impossible for radiation to CONTINUE making a creature grow once it starts. The more radiation you pump into yourself, the more chances one of these shitty changes happens instead to the next of kin. Also, you'll probably die before reproduction.

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

Radroaches.

[@Quakepiano077]

Apparently birds the haven't changed a bit for some reason

[@nicolasjamo]

Jacob Applehoof Insects and roaches reproduce fairly quickly, much much less so than human. Radroaches and other giant insects could have arose out of many generations of irradiated insects, where the maladapted traits killed off the majority of the roach population and those that survived (some of which carry the mutated genes to allow more growth than is usual for the species) could repopulate. This could continue in a cycle until the newest species of roaches that finds stability in its structure and thrive like the radroaches that we see.

Dear Austin, I really enjoy your work and all the thorough thoughts you put into the BS-Science of the fallout franchise. While I was already quite impressed by your insides into the biology of viruses and your understanding of genetics and gene-splicing through CRISPR-CAS, it is apperant that you do not have any medical-scientific background. Which is Ok, not everyone can be a Doctor after all. Now, the explanation of how your body heals wounds is correct, and I am impressed how easily and precise you can describe the steps and processes involved, explaining a rather complex matter to a wide audiance, focussing on the relevant aspects and not deviating from the underlying science too much (you should really teach ppl, none of my biochemistry or physiology books were as clear in their explanation...plus all were a lot less entertaining), I do believe that your premise on what stimpaks would or wouldn not do in order to keep the fallout 4s player character alive is wrong. And therefor the conclusion is wrong. And there are several smaller things I could also claim to be wrong or at least not correctly contextualized (the growthfactor wouldnt work in the way you would want it to for example) but they are unimportant in the larger scheme. So, you claim that in order to keep the player healthy, the stimpak would need to immediatly or at least very fast heal the most recent received wound. I do understand the interpretation of the HP-Bar, however I do not think, from a medical point of view, that thats a viable way of keeping the player alive. You see, when you receive a wound, you do not die of bleeding out necessarily, in fact, even with a major artery burst, it takes some time to really bleed out (exception would be the Aorta, which could easily make you die of bloodloss in a few minutes or a direct rupture of the heartmuscle). In most instances, you die or pass out to a major wound, because of shock.Now a shock has 3 potential causes: 1) Lack of blood/fluid in your bloodvessels (hypovolamic shock); 2) heartfailure; the heart can not build up the required bloodpressure to pump blood into your brain (kardiogenic shock) and 3) a systemic vasodilation, leading to a rapid and severe drop of bloodpressure (distributive shock). It is possible for 2 or all 3 of these causes to happen at once. While a light shock-symptomatic might only cause dizziness, nausea, desorientation and loss of concentration and focus, in most cases a shock leads to a rapid loss of consciousness. Thats what I would think is symbolized by the HP-Bar: How much more can you take, before your body goes into shock and you loose consciousness or die? This theory is reinforced by the fact that if you drop too low in health, you will start to experience symptoms of a light shock: you will hear an elevated heartbeat, your vision gets blurry, your breathing gets faster. All these symptoms are physiological reactions of your body to prevent you from going into a shock: 1) elevated heartbeat: if the bloodpressure is not high enough or there is not enough fluid in your system left, your heart can not simply produce more pressure with each heartbeat, in fact your heart measures between two beats how much blood is filling up the heartcaverns by measuring the dilatation of your heartcaverns by specialised nervcells. If your heart is dilatating a lot (because a lot of blood is going/bloodflow is increased) it will pump stronger (Frank-Sterling-Mechanism); so if its not dilatating enough, the heart will build up less pressure and beat weaker. However, to compensate for the lack of pressure, and because its relaxation is much faster achieved after a weak heartbeat, the heart will pump faster to ensure that a steady volume of blood is pumped over the same time. Its ineffictient, but ensures that all organs are receiving enough oxygen. Also: trauma and pain are alerting your body, they are activating the sympathic-nervous-system, which elevates heartrate on its own (to keep you in a fighting or fleeing state), it would also try to increase your bloodpressure by increasing the heartmuscles contraction (strenght of each beat, positive inotropic effect). All countermeasures to shock. Ill spare the details on breathing and blurry vision (the latter is probably only supposed to reflect dizziness and desorientation).... So....if we establish, that the HP bar is showing you not how healthy you are or if you have wounds or not, but how far away from a state of shock your body actually is, a stimpak in its name would make much more sense than a conglomerate of wound-healing factors. A mix of adrenalin, noradrenalin, dopamin, sugar, insulin, some clottingfactors (only FX would be really needed in the acute situation) and maybe a protein with a high colloid osmotic pressure in a physiological Na+ K+ solution would ensure your body to keep going and not fall into shock. The adrenalin would tell your heart to beat faster and stronger, thus rising your bloodpressure, the noradrenalin would constrict your arterys which would 1) lower the bloodflow to any bleeding wound, 2) further rise your bloodpressure, the dopamin would constrict arterys in your splanchnicus-area (around your intestines and stomach), thus fewer blood flows through these large areas and instead delivers oxygen to your muscles and brain (pretty much shifting volume from an unneeded compartment of your body in an acute stress-situation), and the colloid-osmotic pressure would force fluid out of your millions of red bloodcells into the bloodvessel, while the cells are being compressed and getting smaller, the volume in the bloodvessel itself actually rises signifacantly, a high enoug colloid-osmotic pressure would also force water in your extracellular matrix, surrounding the bloodvessel, to migrate into the bloodvessel, thus further increasing the available bloodvolume and countering the effects of bloodloss. The loss of cells is not that immediatly dangerous actually, we have a very huge tolerance for loss of red bloodcells before our oxygen-deliverysystem collapses, the loss of volume in your bloodvessels is what is killing your bloodflow and sending you into shock, thats why a high colloid-osmotic solution would make perfect sense for this scenario. The clottingfactor FX is activitating Factor II to Factor IIa, factor IIa, factor IIa is activating Factor I, which is called FIBRIN. Thats what closes your wound initially, its the most important thing in haemostasis! I will spare you the details why I would give Factor X (Stuart-Prowling Factor) instead of Factor II. Lets just say its complicated and Im getting tired of typing about this stuff in a foreign language, but Factor X makes a lot more sense than FII in this reagard! Now that method wouldnt be without risk, as it could raise your bloodpressure to unsafe hights, burst aneurysms, cut off bloodflow to some areas (like the splanchnicus area, thats why dont use dopamin anymore in intensive care) and cause organfailure (but only to the digestive tract...who needs to digest and shit anyways???), cause a stroke and send you in a hyperdynamic shock, crush your redbloodcells by a too high colloid-osmotic pressure and so on...buuuuuuut....its Fallout, Sci-Fi, right? So lets just assume, you do not inject yourself with pure adrenalin, noradrenalin and so on. But instead, an analogue substance that activates alpha- and betareceptors but has a different, for acute response maybe more suited receptorkinetic. Its not that far fetched, we are replacing monoamines like dopamin already with artificially created substances that activate the same receptors but with a different kinetic towards them or only a affinity to specific subfamilies of said receptors (we have more than one type of each receptor, specific to their originating tissue and with a variety of functions), thats how modern parkinson-medication works (and why its causing delirium a lot more often than regular dopamin) for example. So lets suppose, that in the future of fallout, medicine is advanced enough to have created substances, that interact with receptors for adrenalin, noradrenalin and so on, but in a much safer way than the original substance, maintaining a physiological balance of heartrate, bloodpressure and bloodvesselconstriction/dilatation instead of just increasing the effect further and further the more receptors are activated. Thats also not that far fetched, with aripiprazol we have a neuroleptic agent, that blocks the D2-Dopaminreceptor just like other neuroleptics. But also activates it. Just a lot less than dopamin would. This way, we get the neuroleptic, antipsychotic effect of blocking the dopamin D2-receptor, while not causing the sideeffects and keeping a low dopaminerg activationlevel in your brain present. The science is all existant today already. Till 2077, we should have figuered it all out (its not that hard actually, its biochemistry to the most well known and most researched receptorfamilies in all our bodies...we can paint them aminoacid by aminoacid in their quartary structure). So yeah.... closing a wound immediatly and healing the skin above it however....is not necesseraly helping you to stay in a fight, if your loss of blood was already too significant it wont get you anywhere. And the application of half a liter of blood would require you to inject the needle into a vein. Something you are clearly not doing. Everything I described can be injected into the muscle or below the skin and will find its way into your bloodflow safely via the capillaries below your or between your fatcells. And everything that I described would fit into the syringe. Sincerly, an ordinary psychiatrist from germany.

Few things wrong here, while a lot of it is correct, bilary excretion isn't used to dispose of dead cells (red blood cells/eurythrocytes do however get somewhat disposed in this manner as haemoglobin is broken down into the bile pigment bilirubin) dead cells are mainly a collection of proteins, nucleic acid, glycoproteins (peptide chains with carbohydrates attached), and a lot of lipids, for most part these will often be broken down by phagocytes in the are such as monocytes and re-released as free nutrients, any of the toxins produced in such process like possibly ammonia, and sulphuric acid from break down of amino acids (the latter is for sulphur containing amino acids like cysteine and methionine) are all water soluble, while they are capable of crossing into the colon by simple diffusion the majority is excreted by urination, however due to stimpacks most likely increasing certain hormones that are hydrophobic they would also likely be excreted by bilary means, though the majority of the problems would be excessive urination rather than chronic shitting.

[@legateelizabeth]

I always assumed stimpacks just stopped you feeling pain and made you super alert and awake - i.e. stimulated you - so you could keep going despite your wounds. I mean, Med-X doesn't make your skin tougher, it's just morphine, it just means you feel less pain so you can keep going despite greater injuries.

[@bluethunderbolt9631]

Pretentious Elizabeth I doubt stimpacks are painkillers. I one of the terminal entries of Scribe Haylen (FO4),she states that she administered stimpacks to one of team members to "stimulate healing" or something like that. Painkillers don't really do that.

[@Needler13]

Pretentious Elizabeth A lot of the docs say it stimulates your healing so it is kinda implied it increases your natural regeneration to wolverine/Deadpool level. They even have cartoons of vault boy getting shot or having a broken limb get injected and magically healing.

[@koomori]

There is a middle ground, though it still gets cartoonish- Stimpacks basically contain a mixture of stem cells, organic resin, and painkillers. You don't just stick it anywhere, you stick it in your actual wound, and the resin fills in whatever physical trauma you have, while also giving stem cells a headstart on where they go, while the painkillers, well, kill your pain and make sure you don't go into shock so you can jump back into killing raiders and deathclaws while you've got a giant plug of resin in your side. This gets cartoonish when you have to heal back to full from a completely crippled body, making you essentially a drug-filled skeleton coated in bioresin. Walking around and popping caps in people. But at least you don't shit your pants.

[@filmandfirearms]

@@koomori That would make sense for most injuries, like a single gunshot where the bullet went straight through, or a slash from a blade that failed to hit major organs or arteries. However, it makes absolutely no sense once you consider the more extreme injuries a single stimpak can cure. Things like a 12 gauge shotgun blast at point blank range or being crushed with a fire hydrant swung by a literal giant or a fucking anti-material round to your head. No amount of stem cells, organic resin, or painkillers, are going to help you recover from a .50 BMG to the head, which will practically vaporize your skull

[@koomori]

@@filmandfirearms Well, like I said, it still gets cartoonish.

[@benjaminmenken5693]

I always thought stimpacks were some kind of blood clotting medicine combined with an opioid, the gauge on the top would show the blood pressure of the patient and the syringe held the clotting and opioid medicine, depending on the blood pressure it would inject a certain amount because a wound would cause blood pressure loss.

[@joshuaolejasz9590]

Stimpacks actually made me forget that Fallout doesn't have a regenerative health system

[@JoeTAC]

I think that in order to discuss what Stimpacks are, we need to first discuss what HP truly is. In my mind, HP is the capacity of the body to suffer damage before collapsing. When it hits 0, the body has suffered too much damage and you presumably die of heart failure\stroke. So having a full HP bar, does not represent being completely healthy, it doesn't mean you're healed, it just means you can take that much more damage before you die. So what DOES a stimpack do? Well Stimpack is short for "Stimulant Delivery Package" I don't think it heals your body as much as it pushes death further away. In Fallout 1,2 and New Vegas' Hardcore mode, Stimpacks COULD NOT heal broken bones.Which leads me to believe Stimpacks DO NOT heal you. They simply allow you to keep functioning with the damage you've taken so far and be able to sustain more damage before dying. In Fallout 4, all limb damage auto heals to 1 after battle, but it can be healed with a Stimpack, that isn't to say that a stimpack necessarily heals the damage, as much as it makes you able to use the limb (despite any pain or damage it's suffered). All in all we need to keep in mind that many functions are not displayed to us as players and are implicit. For example, I believe any bowel movements happen while you're "resting" or "waiting" (fast travelling, if you don't play on Survival) or also possibly that power armor comes equipped with a built in disposal system for urine that can be emptied, just the same as it is implied that any and all "romantic" interactions with your lovers take place while you rest. So resting does not necessarily represent the act of sleeping, but a period in which the PC is resting. Went on more of a tangent than I thought I would. But I hope I was able to bring my point across and I would be more than happy to have a discussion about it.

[@paulmahoney7619]

Joe The Amazing Camel that could explain why you recover health while resting, as well as taking a nap, you’re bandaging your wounds, taking care of your bodily functions, and cleaning up a little bit maybe.

17:10 The huge problem that, even if all of this were possible, still remains:

[@FokkeWulfe]

I saw this awhile back, and gave it some thought: what if stimpacks are essentially a mixture of NuSkin, and stimulants? It helps seal the wound quickly, much quicker then your body would seal, say, a gunshot, then dumps adrenaline into your system, giving you the ability to continue fighting? Its false health. You're still shot, but you don't realise it. You can power through. Its a bit weak, but fits, and doesn't require injecting yourself with the force of a cannon.

[@pandabear9541]

Im actually very surprised he didnt talk about the fact that all these "increases cellular regeneration" medicines basically translate to "shortens your lifespan" by an equivalent amount. By forcing your cells to regenerate 3 months worth of healing that means 3 months worth of cell division as well as 3 months worth of degradation, continually shortening the characters alleles and quickening his inevitable death.

[@kipth3cat]

actually I think that cellular regeneration is somewhat different in fallout games, because if cells regenerated realistically, with shortening of chromosome protection and all that then there would be the chance for cancer, which may not even exist. If cancer existed, ghouls would be giant amorphous blobs of tumourous mass and fragmented DNA.

[@davidbodor1762]

Yeah what are Ghouls even made out of? Like, that's quite interesting considering radiation heals them and makes them more feral so it affects them but they don't seem to age all that much and they don't really eat or drink too much either like, one ghoul actually says he has no idea if he even has to eat to live at that point and he's really friggin old too, pre-war in fact. So what makes them alive if they were degrading at that rate for that long? What regenarates their cells tirelessly?

[@pandabear9541]

Hmmmm perhaps -due to the virtues of massive doses of radiation and perhaps mutagenic elements?- Ghouls and mutants have some sort of.... master copy of their chromosomes from for regeneration? One that rather than splitting and thus getting degraded, it is scanned by other cells who instead carry out the replication

To answer your question in a serious note, it depends on how the healing factor works.

[@c6q3a24]

So, superglue in a spray bottle.

[@pseudonym50]

i always thought the stimpak was just a super powerful painkiller/stimulant. basically it stops your wound from hurting and allows you to focus on other things, like the hail of bullets flying towards your direction. it still wouldn't realistically keep you alive due to the ever-growing number of 5.56 millimeter holes in your chest, but it might take your mind off it for a few minutes as you bleed out on the ground.
