Let's just all appreciate how well Ben and Van are recovering from their horrific injuries despite not having access to modern medicine. They have no sterile dressings, no pain medications, no antibiotics, not even rubbing alcohol.

After Ben's amputation, I was sure he was gonna die very quickly from shock--especially with Misty using the belt as a tourniquet. If not, then in the following episodes due to infection (especially since his stump was cauterized which is a no-no). But he made it! I was half expecting for someone to pull back the bandages and find necrotic tissue sloughing off! But nope, he fought off the infection while also recovering from Misty's poison no problem.

Van has to be a descendant of Rasputin for her ability to skirt death. And despite having half of her face destroyed, she healed up just fine. Oh yeah, just stitch her cheek back up and we're good. Like, what did they even use as suture line? She took it like a champ too, no anesthesia necessary. I wonder how she was even able to eat afterward without being in constant agony. She must have eaten a lot, because she healed VERY quickly and VERY cleanly. Just a few action hero scars, no biggie. Again, with no infections or complications. Normally you'd need skin grafts and multiple surgeries, but this was a one-and-done and she's back to normal.

It makes me wonder, maybe the forest decided everyone's fate beforehand?
