bacta the basics

[sensiblecrow]

We all know that bacta is the go-to healing tool in the Star Wars universe, but even science that's basically magic must have some limits.

What can't bacta fix?

Potential sub-questions:
- How do people deal with conditions that can't be treated by bacta?
- Are there people who can't use bacta at all?
- How has bacta affected medical research and treatment progress?
- Why might someone refuse bacta treatment?

I'm not sure that's true. It definitely implies that bacta can't be absorbed all the way through the skin into the organs. I mean, did the people who put Brendol in the tank know he was poisoned? If they didn't, then they wouldn't have taken any extra measures.

(should also be noted that Leia went into a bacta tank for a concussion in Bloodline. Not sure where "can fix minor brain things" puts us.)
