Roleplay Expectations: Medium |
The crews who keep the station members alive and well, alongside being their only hope in the event of a violet alert.
Medical License
You are entrusted to take care of the wellbeing and physical integrity of your fellow crewmembers upon the station! You have several items and consumables at your disposal, understanding what these items can do will make the difference between life and death. Generally speaking, you will have access to 2 types of gears:
Topicals
Topicals are consumables that can be used on yourself or on others to treat a specific injury, usually utilized on the dead. Topicals can be stacked and each use will consume 1 unit from that stack. When you use a stack of topicals, the item will automatically be used until you either run out of it or there's no more injuries that topical can treat. To get topicals, you can get them from crafting it at a lathe, medical vendors, or found on the station or wrecks. Generally speaking, you will be introduced to these 4 most common topicals:
- Bruise pack - heals a small amount of brute-related injuries such blunt, making it a good first aid item as it is flexible on treating brute injuries.
- Ointment - Heals a small amount of burn related damage such as cold and heat damage.
- Gauze - Heals a good amount of puncture and slash damage, alongside stopping bleeding too! useful for post-combat treatment.
- Blood pack - compatible with all species, these will restore a set amount of blood level and reducing bloodloss.
Alongside that, your chemist might get productive and create more advanced topicals that treats larger amount of damage:
- Medicated suture - restores a good amount of brute related injuries and also stops bleeding
- Regenerative mesh - Restores a good amount of burn related injuries
- Aloe cream - restores a good amount of burn related injuries (need to check)
Alongside these, you might be issued with medipens and pills with labels attached to it. If you are uncertain what these pills do, you can ask your fellow chemists or the CMO for information. But the medipen is an excellent item to keep a person alive, usually injected to a critical patient to stop bleeding and reduce their asphyxiation.
Equipments
As a doctor, you also have access to several equipments to help you in your work. the following are:
- health analyzer - use on a person to receive medical information such as their injuries, blood level, and health status
- Syringe - Used to inject chemicals unto living beings for treatment, it can be set to inject a determined amount of units to prevent overdose
- Defibrillator - Used to bring the dead back to life, the patient must NOT be rotting/hollowed and have below 200 damage to work. A soulless body cannot be revived.
- Beds - Used to put patients in to aid their recovery, these beds can improve injury recovery of burn and brutes.
- Statis beds - Used to prevent rot progression on dead beings, though will cause asphyxiation and prevent chemicals from being absorbed by the body if a living person is placed
- Bodybag - A bag used to prevent rot on a corpse and relocate them to another position
- Brute automender - An automender that treats all brute-related injuries on a person or a body until it runs out of chemicals without risk of overdose. Refilled with 30u Bicaridine.
- Burn automender - An automender that treats all burn-related injuries on a person or body until it runs out of chemicals without risk of overdose. Refilled with 35u Dermaline.
Healing 101
In the event of patients coming toward the medical bay, as a doctor you must be able to quickly respond to these patients and provide care until they're fully recovered. The following steps should be done to ensure proper care and priority are given:
- Prioritize critically wounded patients and command members and put them to beds (beds make them recover faster)
- apply epinephrine to the patient if they are in critical condition and have not received a medipen yet to buy you more time
- Scan the patient and discover which damage is the most severe to be treated first
- Use your syringe to apply the appropriate chemicals, the chemist should have made jugs of chemicals listed with its effects
- Do not overdose them
- Optionally provide pills to treat any leftover injuries that are minor
If you are given a corpse, the whole situation becomes more prolonged as you must treat the corpse until it has come within revivable range. The steps are:
- Prioritize based on rot stages and command members
- Put them on statis bed to prevent further rotting
- Use automenders to treat injuries, or use topicals if none are available
- If the damage is less than 200, preferably around 170 damage. Turn on the defibrillator and shock the body
- If the body has been revived, quickly move them to a regular bed to prevent asphyxiation and allow chemicals to flow in their body
- Follow the steps on treating living patients
- If the body is too damaged or rotted beyond recovery, store the body in a bodybag or the morgue.

Cloning
If a body is too damaged or rotted, then a cloning may be done in order to bring the person back. To do this, you must place the patient in the [insert name of object], and have a cloning computer ready and linked to both the [name of object] and the cloning pod. The cloning pod itself must have biomass available, which are obtained from grinding biological beings in biomass reclaimers.
The more rotted a corpse is, the less likely they'll be successfully clone, instead leaving behind a mess of blood. each failed cloning will decrease the chance of success, so better pray it works. Once cloning is done, allow the fresh clone to take possession of its equipment from the old body, before putting the old body into the biomass reclaimer.
