if we go by alyx's depiction, medigel is injected into the body and (???) and you are healed

i dont think anyone said "drink it" unironically

no they didn’t but I chose to include it because I am cool

and yeah idk it’s always been a bit of a mystery to me so I still use it as a gel

ig maybe someone could do a fun quirky write up because it’s space alien videogame it doesn’t really need to make sense by real life medical standards

The idea was, that it was a coagulant - at least that's what the description said back then

So obviously, if you drink a coagulant - what do you think happens?

I think its a pretty reasonable assumption to make, that a product which (at the time) was described as a RAPID coagulant to stop INTENSE bleeding would suffocate you to death if you drank it

Crazy that it’s stuck around this long

In a decade the one thing that remains the same is that you can’t drink medigel

i mean to be fair i decided to say that because i really didn't like the cop who did it - and because i was sick of it


and it just stuck around because it was funny

realistically it probably wouldnt stick in your throat
disregarding the meme for a moment

it being a coagulant presumably means it makes you blood coagulate to stop bleeding, not that it itself will coagulate inside your body
i imagine drinking it would just be like drinking a foul-taste jelly and you'd probably have some painful shits afterwards

In gameplay it works the same.

I guess if thought about, Medigel probably just acts as a quick seal to various wounds. Probably not a permanent solution, but I could be wrong.

hi guys. today’s sleep-deprived roleplay doc from cindy is about medigel-induced psychosis and the short-lived fad of pouring medigel into jello moulds at local city administration parties
