[[Medical Doctor|Medical doctors]] have a bad reputation for never being around and being useless. Can you do better?
 
==The Health System==
All crew members begin at 100% health, and with 4 categories of damage: suffocation, toxin, burn, and brute. There is also brain damage, which works differently from the others. Any damage taken will add to its corresponding category and subtract from total health. As one's health declines, they will find it harder to move around. At 0% health, the patient enters '''critical''' health. They will fall in and out of consciousness, begin to slowly take suffocation as well as brain damage and have an ever-increasing chance to develop shock and cardiac arrest. If left untreated, they will eventually reach a certain amount of damage (overall, but brain in particular) and die. Generally, people are unlikely to survive 200 (-100% health) or more total damage.
 
==Drugs==
[[Medical Doctor|Medical doctors]] begin with some of these in [[Medbay|medbay]], and some can be created by [[Botanist|botanists]] (though you'll really have to nag them for it). The [[Quartermaster|quartermaster]] can also provide a medical resupply kit. Advanced drugs can be created by the [[Scientist|scientists]], assuming they haven't already burned themselves to death. [[Robots#Medbot|Medbots]] synthesize a number of different medicines, which are indicated in the table below.

==Damage==
Not all mobs are susceptible to all damage types, but humans and [[Monkey|monkeys]] are generally the most vulnerable. A couple of mutations, for example [[Guide to Genetics#Mutations|thermal resistance]], offer some immunity. [[Changeling|Changelings]] don't have to breath and are thus not affected by suffocation and gas leaks. This also applies to [[Cyborg#Patching up|cyborgs]], but they can still be dented or burned. On the other hand, they don't have to worry about toxins, brain damage or radiation.
 
===Suffocation===
The patient has been exposed to an area without proper atmosphere, or strangled. Other possible causes include:
 
* Presence of [[Gas#Carbon Dioxide|CO2]].
* Certain chemicals and chemical fumes, for example [[Chemistry#Medical Poisons|pancuronium]].
 
Suffocation damage will heal naturally if the patient gets air again, provided the patient has not gone into critical health.
 
Treat with salbutamol and/or move them to an area with air, where they will breath normally and the damage will reduce itself. If the patient has an [[General Objects#Gas Tank|air tank]] on them, make sure it's on. If it is and they are still gasping, the tank is probably empty or [[Health Indicators|not configured properly]], so take it off.
 
A patient in critical health can't breathe unassisted. Inject saline and/or epinephrine to stabilize them, or give CPR by using an empty hand on them with the ''help'' intent on. Make sure neither of you are wearing [[Clothing#Masks|masks]] or [[Clothing#Head|hats]].
 
===Toxin===
Toxin damage can come from a few sources:
 
* Breathing [[Gas#Plasma|plasma]] causes toxic damage. Move the patient to a safe area if there is a gas leak.
* Certain [[Virus|viruses]] can cause toxic damage. Treat the virus first, then deal with the toxin damage.
* Ingesting harmful chemicals can cause toxin damage. Treat the poisoning first, then administer anti-toxins.
* Toxin damage is a byproduct of [[Doctoring#Radiation|radiation poisoning]]. Deal with the poisoning first if anti-rad medicine is available.
 
The primary remedy is activated charcoal (anti-toxin pills). In severe cases, calomel will rapidly flush the patient at the cost of causing toxic damage itself. Pentetic acid is a superior alternative.
 
Certain toxins warrant special considerations:
 
* Embalming fluid: Will decay into histamine, which can cause [[Doctoring#Anaphylaxis|anaphylaxis]].
* Amanitin: This poison will cause toxic damage when the last unit decays. The amount of damage is based on how long it was in the patient's bloodstream.
* Coniine: Causes rapid asphyxiation and renders the victim incapable of speech.
* Sarin: Causes paralysis, shaking, vomiting, suffocation, toxin damage, and some burn damage. Neutralize with atropine.
* Venom: Causes toxic and brute damage. Decays into histamine, and can [[Terminology#Gib|gib]] in large doses.
 
===Burn===
Burn damage can come many sources, such as:
 
* Fire, acid and electrical shocks are the most common.
* Exposure to space tiles without protective gear.
* Exposure to extremely high or low temperatures.
* [[Murder#Bombs|Explosions]].
* [[Health Indicators|Inhaling superheated gas]] will fry someone's lungs from within, causing massive burn damage. Make sure you have internals on before rushing to help these patients.
* Certain weapons (such as a [[Engineering Objects#Welder|welder]] or [[Murder#LaserGun|laser guns]]) will also cause burn damage.
* Eating [[Guide to Botany#Fiery Chili|spicy food]] or food injected with certain hot chemicals.
 
If the patient is on fire, [[General Objects#Fire Extinguisher|put the fire out]] before anything else. The ''burning'' sprite can be [[Terminology#Lag|slow to update]] sometimes, so it can be hard to tell if you have extinguished the fire. Don't stuff a burning patient into [[Medical Doctor#Using the Cryo Chambers|cryo]], they will take burn damage faster than the apparatus can heal them! Once the source of the burn damage is removed, treat with burn medication (e.g. silver sulfadiazine, burn patches) or cryo.
 
===Brute===
Brute damage is probably the most common form you will see. It comes in many forms:
 
* Bruises from physical combat, melee weapons etc.
* Being struck by a thrown object.
* Being shot by a [[Murder#357Revolver|revolver]] or other kinetic weapon.
* Explosions.
* Certain [[Virus|viruses]] and chemicals, for instance [[Chemistry#Toxic Shit|itching powder]].
* Slipping on space lube.
* Taking a trip through a waste [[General Objects#Disposal Unit|disposal chute]].
 
Brute damage can be treated with styptic powder, synthflesh, healing patches or cryo. If the patient has been shot, they will continue to bleed until the bullet is removed. This requires [[Doctoring#Bullets and foreign objects|surgery]] and a scalpel. If you cannot get the bullet out immediately, administer a pill of salicylic acid, which will boost their movement speed to normal, and send them to medbay for further treatment.
 
===Brain===
Brain damage is typically caused when other types of damage force a person into critical condition. It is the only type of damage that will directly kill a human or monkey. Other possible factors include:
 
* Severe head injuries.
* Certain viruses.
* Exposure to a number of chemicals, such as [[Chemistry#Toxic Shit|neurotoxin]], haloperidol, sarin or mercury.
 
Health analyzers don't provide an exact value for brain damage. If the patient has suffered brain damage, the readout will indicate the fact: Concussion (slight), Retardation (heavy). Having brain damage also makes it difficult to do certain tasks, for example using computers or operating doors.
 
Mannitol is the primary counter to brain damage. If the patient is in critical condition, stabilize them with epinephrine or other means first, preventing further accumulation of brain damage. To deal with any poisons, follow the [[Doctoring#Toxin|standard detox procedures]] and then follow up with a pill of mannitol.
 
==Surgery==
Two surgery tables are located near the main doors to [[Medbay]], a third is located in the [[Morgue]], a fourth in [[Robotics]], and a fifth located in the Test Chamber to the left of [[Chemistry]]. There are now several problems people can run into that require immediate surgery in order to save the patient. People coming into the [[Medbay]] will expect you to be able to help with surgery, so you should familiarize yourself with it. Don't worry, it's surprisingly easy to do,<strike> just like in real life!</strike> 
===Bullets and foreign objects===
'''Scenario:''' The patient has all his limbs, but is bleeding profusely.<br>
'''Diagnosis:''' Your patient is most likely suffering from a case of bullet-having. Inquire if he's been in any gun fights lately to confirm your suspicion. He needs to be placed on the surgery table and hit in the stomach with a scalpel to be cured.
 
'''Scenario:''' The patient is delusional, screaming about monsters that eat people and that he's some kind of super hero who beat said monster, but ended up accidentally swallowing something he refers to as a [[Changeling|headspider]].<br>
'''Diagnosis:''' Your patient is clearly insane, but he should be put on a surgery table and shanked in the stomach with a scalpel until he stops screaming about monsters. Any foreign object, including the heads of space monsters, will be removed in the process. Make sure to stop operating on him after the foreign object comes out or when it's clear that he was in fact making the whole thing up.
 
===Limb removal===
'''Scenario:''' The patient is a healthy human with four or more limbs. For reasons known only to him, he'd like to have less limbs.<br>
'''Diagnosis:''' Limb removal is the only cure to limbs. Put the patient on a surgery table and use a scalpel, circular saw and then scalpel again to cut if off. Note that even if you neglect to do the final scalpel cut, the half-cut limb will still fall off after some time. This procedure will inflict a lot of tissue damage, start a bleeding and could put the patient into critical damage where they could die from shock. You need to have medical drugs at the ready. If you are unable to stop the bleeding from a missing limb, cauterize the wound with an open flame by either using a welder on the missing limb or setting the patient on fire. Note that setting patients on fire is very bad for their health, and if they die, [[Banned Camp|it is very bad for you]].
 
===Limb replacement===
'''Scenario:''' The patient is either an amputee or is already undergoing limb removal. He claims he needs his limbs in order to do his job.<br>
'''Diagnosis:''' Your patient is a liar, no one does their job, but you should probably give him some more limbs anyway. You have three options:
*Find and re-attached the missing limb. Put the patient on the table and hit his missing limb with the new limb. Attach it with a medical stapler.
*Use the limb from a donor. Put the patient on the table and hit his missing limb with the new limb. Attach it with a medical stapler. Note that donated limbs tend to reject their new owners, which may lead to the patient beating you to death in a fit of rage while flipping you off in a very rude manner. For your own personal health, donor limbs should only be the absolute last resort.
*Use a robotic limb. Put the patient on the table, hit his missing limb with the robotic one and attach it using a staple gun.
 
===Brain surgery===
'''Scenario:''' Your patient is quite dead, or wishes to be, and you need his brain for whatever reason.<br>
'''Diagnosis:''' Surgery is the only way. Put the patient on a surgery table, alternate between using a scalpel and a circular saw on his head until his brain rolls out.
 
'''Scenario:''' You are in possession of a detached brain, the [[Chef]] does not want it, the [[Chapel]] doesn't have brain-sized coffins and there is no [[Cyborg]] to put it in.<br>
'''Diagnosis:''' The brain will need a new host, and surgery is the only way. Ask the geneticists for a dead body from someone they've already cloned or were unable to clone due to it being braindead. It should not be rotted. Remove its dead brain, and while the host body is on a surgery table, click on its head with the other brain to insert it into its skull. Take the body back to genetics and ask them to scan and clone it. If everything went right, the brain should be cloned in its new host body.
 
==Other Ailments==
 
===Viruses===
There are many different types of [[Virus|viruses]] on the station, each with its own effects and possible cures. Using a medical analyzer on someone who is infected will display a report in red text, containing the name of the virus, its stage, and possible cure. Wear gloves and a medical mask to offer some minor protection against disease and load up on spaceacillin.
* '''Food poisoning''' is the most common virus you will encounter, caused by eating bad food. The patient need only sleep it off. Stuff them in a sleeper or let them sleep in the [[Medbay|recovery area]].
* '''Robotic Transformation''' is caused by eating [[Food|roburgers]] or exposure to nanites. If untreated, the patient will explode and become a cyborg. Treat with [[Security Objects#Stun Baton|electric]] [[Medical Objects#Defibrillator|shocks]].
* '''Kuru''' is caused by eating [[Food|brain burgers]] or exposure to prions. There is no known cure, so scan them at [[Genetics]] before they die.
* '''Grave Fever''' is caused by a [[Vampire]] ability and must be quickly counteracted with spaceacillin to prevent the patient from rotting away.
* '''Necrotic Degeneration''' is similar to grave fever but extremely contagious. Don't approach someone who is infected unless you have protective gear and the ability to cure yourself. It is initially spread by [[Critter#Zombie|NPC zombies]], or board [[Admin|admins]].
* '''Type D-Owns Syndrome''' occurs after eating a [[Foods#Main course|droopy cake]]. It will eventually kill the patient, so hassle [[Chemistry]] for [[Chemistry#Medical Chems|curing drugs]].
 
Other viruses do not appear outside of [[admin]] intervention or [[Random Events|random event]]. For the "full" list (Read; ''Not at all a full list''), check out the [[Virus]] page.
 
===Addiction===
Addiction functions similar to a non-contagious disease. You will receive an indication using a health scanner that also displays what stage it's in. The patient will know they are addicted because they are receiving constant messages to use whatever chem they are addicted to. Common addiction sources are methamphetamine and nicotine. With each progressive stage of withdrawal, the symptoms become worse-- stunning, vomiting, shaking, and so on. An addict can be treated either with hair of the dog for temporary relief, or they'll just have to tough it out. If they have the chemical in their system, try flushing it out as if it were a poison. If the patient consents, keep them in the secure area of [[Medbay]] with the beds until they overcome the addiction. This is more for their safety, as they are very weak and open to mugging/assault during withdrawal. If the addict is still shaking after they're no longer reliant, you can optionally inject them with 5 units of Haloperidol. It might cause some brain damage, but it will stop the shaking and addiction effects. If they do actually have brain damage because of it, a mannitol pill will probably fix that.
 
===Radiation===
Radiation will cause toxic damage as long as it's in someone's system. Radiation can come from certain poisons, a [[Blowout]], [[Mining]] accidents, or being shot with a [[Syndicate Items#Miniature Crossbow|rad-bow]]. Potassium Iodide or Pentetic Acid will remove the radiation, but if those are unavailable, the patient will have to wait for the radiation to subside on its own. Radiation can be monitored using the [[Geneticist]]'s GeneTek Console, or using a [[Health Analyzer]] by observing the point until toxin damage stops accumulating.
 
===Genetic Defects===
Quite often caused by large amounts of radiation that got in the [[Captain|victim]]'s body [[Syndicate Items#Miniature Crossbow|for]] [[Geneticist#Syndicate Geneticist|some]] [[Barman#Treachery|reason]], these [[Guide to Genetics#Mutations|defects]] can cause a great amount of damage to anyone being ailed by them. Common symptoms include: [[Chef#I hefe-a eccent huly sheet, Bork Bork Bork!|Speaking oddly]], [[Miner|becoming very short]], blindness, quickly gaining a surplus of [[Captain|excess fat]],  [[Clown|tourettes]], and even '''permanent''' radiation sickness, which can cause even more defects to appear within the patent. Thankfully, these can all be cured by simply giving the patent a pill of Mutadone, which will quickly and safely eradicate any and all [[Guide to Genetics#Mutations|genetic mutations]] from them.           
 
===Anaphylaxis===
The patient is full of histamine, causing brute, toxic, and suffocation damage. Epinephrine and especially Diphenhydramine will treat it.
 
===Concussion===
The analyzer will report that the subject has suffered minor/major brain damage, and looking at the patient may reveal they have a stupid expression on their face. A concussion can be treated with Mannitol, but if the brain damage is [[Clown|genetic in nature]], some Mutadone will be required to fix it.
 
===Cardiac arrest===
Cardiac arrest is a major emergency that if left untreated will rapidly lead to the death of your patient. Causes include an untreated cardiac emergency and certain poisons. Treatment consists of defibrillation, ''coupled with treatment of other underlying conditions''. If these go untreated, the patient will simply go into cardiac arrest again. If a [[Medical Objects#Defibrillator|defibrillator]] is unavailable, one should find other sources of electric shock. A [[Security Officer]] will be happy to assist in these cases. If electric shock is unavailable, atropine and CPR may be effective.
