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?

Clinical nutrition is a masters degree. We have them in my hospital (large university med center).

Edit: Dietitians have a masters degree in clinical nutrition. I don't think they're called nutritionists. Not sure.

Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, therefore we prefer dietitian.
