Medical SOP

While these SOPs may come with in character punishments on the Alfa server for non-command members, intentional disregard on the Beta server may be grounds for a role ban from the department. Repeated intentional disregard for SOPs by command members on either server may also result in a role ban.

   1. It is recommended that spare batteries be kept next to defibrillator cabinets.

Patient Care

1. Patients must be triaged according to the severity of their injuries.
2. Command members must take treatment priority.
3. Doctors may not leave the medbay for personal reasons if there are untreated patients. This does not include the necessity of eating and drinking.

Deceased Patient Care

1. Patients should be triaged by level of rot.
2. Patients who are in advanced stages of rot should be placed into stasis beds or body bags.
3. Patients who are not being treated should be stored in the morgue until sufficient resources can be diverted to revive them.
4. Patients who become unrevivable or are deemed unrevivable require a morgue report filled out with:
   1. Patient name
   2. Patient job
   3. Approximate time of death/DNR approval
   4. Reason for DNR status
   5. CMO stamp for approval
5. Should a corpse become unclonable, it must be annotated on the appropriate DNR sheet, and then stamped by the CMO.
6. Unclonable corpses, including those whose soul has moved on, may be operated on or placed into the biomass reclaimer.

Violet Alert Protocol

1. All medical personnel are to be secured in Medbay immediately.
2. The CMO's safety will take priority over curing an infection.
3. Chemistry will focus all efforts on researching the cure to the infection.
4. Medical entrances should be locked down to prevent further infection of medical personnel.
5. Any potentially infected personnel should be isolated and quarantined.
6. Any pacified infected personnel should be brought to chemistry to aid in cure production.
7. A cure should be distributed to the crew once available, in a controlled manner.
