That would have been useful. A couple mental images come up in response - not just Mary's shaking hands but a couple other people with the aftermath of concussions, someone's arm with deep electrical burns, a woman in a chair trying to work feeling into her leg and the phrase "I can only walk on good days, now." We've got one doctor but there's only so much she can do, even with a couple neurosci to do her bidding and a medical Operator to handle the small shit. ('Medical Operator' is said roughly concurrent with 'med robot' to skip the explanations.)

There's a definite feeling of 'different apocalypse, same problems' to it - Typhon aren't zombies but the end result isn't that far off, in terms of the total breakdown of society and infrastructure, at least assuming Murphy's version isn't that different from the standard movie fare.

Luckily Mary's got people to be her hands for the kinds of complicated fiddly shit she can't afford to screw up, but it's been about six months so she's probably not getting any better. 'Complicated fiddly shit' is fine computer part soldering and putting microchips in place - the mental images are clear because Ghost served a couple shifts as her hands himself, so he knows exactly what she needed help with.
