Game of Thrones 7x03 - Jorah Mormont is healed from Greyscale

my opinion why Sam was succesfull in treating ser Jorah is just because he was actually following instructions to the t. He is still a novice at the moment of becoming a maester and does not have any pride of his skills and doesn't think that he knows better than the man, who wrote the instructions. That is the sole reason that he was able to complete the procedure.

Since they had no plastic or rubber back then im curious to what those gloves are made from, leather? Perhaps covered in wax? Would grayscale transfer to or absorb into leather or cloth gloves? Yes yes i know its a show but i think about details like that.

Reading and following instructions can be tiresome and hard but it’s worth the end results.

Professor Slughorn was skinny in the ancient times

I think the Maester isn't truly punishing Sam here actually. He's giving him a chance to restore old documents filled with information and knowledge. It's a double-edged blade.

In hindsight this entire subplot was shit

I love the way they both say “climate”

He healed greyscale and i cant even shake genital herpes after 15 years

Everyone can see sam’s worth as a man and as a person, he makes friends easily wherever he goes because of his selflessness and his desire to help others. The only one who can’t see his worth is his own Father.

I wonder how many people have caught the fact that the arch maester immediately knew what had to be done, and what was done in order to remove the grey scale. He says the exact same thing Sam says before he starts to remove the infection. Shows he’s read the books and instructions even if it isn’t his field of study.

Casually touches the dirty end of his sick people touching stick with his bare hands.
I love medieval medicine

This is probably one of the best moments of the show, the moment sir Jorah (the honorable night ) discovers that he had been infected he decides to never make contact with anyone !( honorable indeed).

But when sam shakes his hand he telepathically says: i know you don’t shake people’s hands but that’s something infected people do , and you sir are not one of them .. shake my hand.

Good drama ,
Could really mean American people sure used to have great values, and that surely one day they will bring honor & value to their lives.

( by the way , i know that this is a fictional history show but the value - for sure - used to be non - fictional)

Also if you think I should write a book or not ,, please let me know in the replies, ( I’ll accept negative reviews )

Samwell was such a PURE character....✌🇹🇹

I think this really worked because Tarley followed *all*’ of the instructions, including correct disposal of the pus and cut away greyscale. That’s the highly infectious stuff that could have caused an outbreak.

Wasn't he wearing that shirt before his treatment?
If I was infected with poision Ivy and was wearing the same shirt the entire time.
The last thing I would want to do when I recover is wear the same poision Ivy soaked shirt.
What if the shirt had that green puss on it?
Wouldn't he get re infected with Gray Scale?

"I just started feeling better" lmfao

season 7 was such shit, but the sam jorah interaction was just great

Sam “I read the book and followed the instructions” is the equivalent of a yugioh player who reads their cards.😂😂

"The climate?? 😒"

I know his Greyscale was pretty advanced but damn I sure hope it wasn't on certain regions down south...

"The reward for work well done is more work"

Besides the final handshake, the fact Jorah tried to to cover up Sam's disobedience is heartwarming. He got cured now, so if Sam is getting in trouble wouldn't be his business anymore, yet he tried to protect him out of gratitude for saving his life from greyscale. Not a lot of people in Westeros would've mindend what happened next after leaving.

Jorah's truly a Knight 'til the end.

when you aren't medically trained but have had medical procedures but have seen it to others so you decide to give it a shot

I just love how their excuse for Jorah's infection being gone was "I just started feeling better. Guess I needed some rest, is all."

Is it just me or putting on the shirt that you wore while you were infected with grayscale AFTER you healed yourself isn't a good idea.

Then after he was healed he put back on his dirty Greyscale fermented shirt...😑

The handshake was the most touching part

The handshake was the most

cured only to die of some bullshit next season

Can’t fault the archmaester for not rewarding Sam. He shouldn’t congratulate him for jumping into a volcano just because he survived.

Arch-Maester Ebrose, Stern...Stern but fair!

“I assumed it was the… rest that did it”
When your homie is covering for you but you didn’t come up with a plan yet

A good man already has his reward.

I quite think that him being ordered to write copies of those old manuscripts was a reward, he was able to comprehend and use long-lost skills.

I'm sure I'm echoing something already mentioned, but I think my favorite detail is that Jorah has been shown, rightfully, to have no damn idea how to follow the medical terminology, but being who he is, he can tell immediately when someone is in trouble on his behalf.

lol climate, he is a champion in ther fighting pits of merren

I love season 7.

Funniest part about the Archmaester's "punishment" was that those old scrolls he's making Sam copy are probably medicinal scrolls.

That maestor is probably thinking to himself, "that young Sam Tarly has promise and serious potential".

Did anyone notice that Arch Maester was played by the same actor that played Horace Slughorn in Harry Potter?😀

Honestly, this was set up in season one and it's a shame it wasn't capitalized on...Sam could be an Alchemist of sorts.
Not able to do complete magic, but has skills and abilities that which make capable of certain things others cannot.

This is among the most touching moments of the series

Transcribing scrolls and books, to “read and learn” without outright teaching. An impressive if not, somewhat risky method.

A reward within a punishment

Season 7 was still good. Plenty of great moments to build on before season 8 ruined it

Aaand the Archmaester awarded Samwell with these manuscripts and scrolls by the knowledge written onto them. 😇😇

Maybe the archmaesters failed because of the fokin heavy chains on them 😂😂

The Arch Maester telling him he should be proud, and having him save the information from the scrolls and books are the best rewards he could have hoped for.

He gets to look at rare and hidden information, and clearly earned the Arch Maesters respect.

Sam doesn't seem to fully grasp that, but that seems obvious to me.
