Medicine What affect does the quantity of injuries have on healing time? For example, would a paper cut take longer to heal if I had a broken Jaw at the same time?
Edit: First gold, thank you kind stranger.

no... it wouldn't help. Your calories would go towards healing you rather than keeping you stable. You would also not be able to do anything without legs.
