"It can definitely be more exciting, shall we say." Isla grinned to him; personally, she preferred them squirming unless they were medicated. Someone who wasn't squirming was likely in enough trouble that they were unconscious, and that was a worse situation by far. Her grin faded into a small and humble smile at his reference to her being 'wise', of all things, Isla hearing him out and nodding.
"That's good, though, that you're at least aware of the basics. If I had been born with healing magic then no doubt I would have been using it, too." There was nothing wrong with that, in her opinion, but it definitely would have made things more difficult.
Head injuries, then. Isla straightened up, recalling her basic mental checklist for something of that sort. "So your ideal patient is someone who can talk to you," she murmured, smirking. "You can check whether or not they have fallen unconscious, where they hit their head, what happened and so on. I always check to make sure there's no bleeding or obvious swelling, and I ask if they remember what happened. If they don't, or if they seem nauseated or disorientated, they may have a concussion. That isn't normally something I would keep someone in the infirmary for, unless it was particularly severe or if they didn't have anyone to keep watch over them."
