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?

Yeah, my assumption has always been that bacta can be used to seal wounds/treat damaged skin but not to treat illnesses or poison, and I'm really not even sure about broken bones. Judging from Brendol's case, if you get a nerve-agent or other parasite or problem inside the barrier of your skin then all the bacta does is seal it in.
