Is there any such thing as flotation therapy, at least for really
serious injuries?  Floating in water was the first thing that came
to my mind, though I don't know how practical it would be to live in
water.  It could be saline, to prevent all those wrinkles, and
maybe add buoyancy.
(So the next question:  Is there such a beast as a water-proof terminal :-)
