Shock

Removed, due to suspect citation to Smith and Jones. Feel free to add anything back which Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark directly says anything about blood vessels.

Even in hypovolemic shock, with a significant amount of blood removed from the cardiovascular system, a Gallifreyan could still compensate and survive. Part of compensating for circulatory shock is by blood vessel constriction, and Gallifreyans could control their blood vessels, dilating and contracting them at will. (TV: Smith and Jones, PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark)

I think for one thing, before Martha revived him, the Doctor didn't compensate. He was registered deceased and considered a closed case according to the Judoon's instruments, so I'm not sure what, if any, of this comes from Smith and Jones apart from "the Doctor was able to have been revived after his blood was lost". -- Tybort (talk page) 17:55, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

Proprioception

Is this term used in AUDIO: The Forever Trap? If not, then it needs to be renamed; if it is, then it should be redlinked so we can have our own article on the subject. Shambala108 ☎ 15:08, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

Allergy to Praxis gases

I've not seen The Caves of Androzani, but as far as I can tell, the Fifth Doctor only says that eating the celery (which changes colour in contact with these gases) is good for his teeth, rather than counteracting any reaction. -- Tybort (talk page) 11:59, January 4, 2015 (UTC)

You're correct, according to the story, he's allergic to certain gases, and the celery is what alerts him to the presence of the gases. The Caves of Androzani says nothing about counteracting the allergies. Shambala108 ☎ 14:14, January 4, 2015 (UTC)
