For some reason I find this hilarious. [=MrDeath=] removed it, with the summary \\\"First, I think it all falls under \\\"Seer\\\" anyway. As for the rest, he doesn\\\'t learn her medical history, he specifically looks at one thing. The eyesight, blood pressure, and the brittle bones aren\\\'t from his second sight, they\\\'re from him knowing his \\\'\\\'own\\\'\\\' medical history by virtue of, well, having lived through it. He\\\'s been shown before to be able to assess someone\\\'s health, more or less. \\\"

Dominic\\\'s medical skills do not fall under his Seer abilities at all, because [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2007-01-11 it has been established]] that second sight is \\\'\\\'sight\\\'\\\', not understanding. Seers have to absorb enormous amounts of information in order to recognize what they\\\'re looking at. This makes a great deal of sense to me, and it\\\'s one of the things I\\\'ve always liked about the comic. To the best of my freaky recollection, Dominic has never before shown medical training, or supernatural powers that he uses to mimic the effects of medical training. Please correct me if I am wrong.

It is implausible that Dominic knew of [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2011-01-05 his various ailments]] by living through them, because infertility is on the list and Luna treats it as news. It would be a tremendous breach of characterization (even by the lax standards I apply to this comic) if Dominic had kept this from Luna, his fiancée, regular sex partner, and the woman who\\\'s been in internal turmoil over a matter where this item of knowledge is very freaking relevant. No.

The statement that Dominic doesn\\\'t discover luna\\\'s medical history is true. I think the distinction is small enough to go with the version that flows better instead of a detailed explanation.
