| == Medical Department ==
| |
| The Medical Department's purpose is maintaining the health and well-being of the crew. If you are hurt, sick, suffering from brain trauma, horribly mutated by radiation or horror beyond human comprehension, addicted to drug, looking to get superpower, looking to turn yourself into a monkey, get infected by space cancer, ''make'' a new space cancer, steal some drugs, make some drugs, make a LOT of drugs, make some bombs, are impregnated by aliens, generally feel bad or just want to bother someone come to the medical department!

| |
|
| To find medical look for sterile looking white and light blue color tiles. Medical is always connected to the main hallways. Not to be confused with the "medbay" a space of critical importance to '''the''' medical department. People will generally refer to the entire medical department as the "medbay" or "medical", mostly because it's easier to say, so don't get confused. Nevertheless this document makes the distinction between '''the''' medical department (referring to the space occupied by all medical departments) and the medbay (a central department of '''the''' medical department).

| == Rooms, Spaces and Facilities of the Medical Department ==
| |
| Depending on the station certain medical department facilities and rooms may be their own dedicated room or just an auxiliary (open floor plan style) add-on to another facility. An example might be the cryogenics room, which sometimes is its own room and sometimes it's simply an addition to the main medbay space. In any case, while certain stations might have add-ons or extra machines and while the layout might change the medbay's contents are generally identical across station designs.
| |
| === Medical Foyer ===
| |
| Where you are when you enter medical from the hallway. This is a general waiting area where patients can wait to be lead into the medbay. There are three key features:
| |
|
| |
| '''Medical front desk''' - Sometimes maned by an M.D., but usually not since they are busy or generally prefer to be in the medbay itself. Not to worry! The foyer has a helpful desk bell that you can ring to draw the attention of one of the nearby medical worker. This should usually work since the medbay is adjacent to the foyer most of the time. If medical seems busy there is usually a first-aid kit with some basic healing supplies, a heal bot or even a whole NanoMed vending machine! If you know what you are doing or are only slightly bruised up you can help yourself or let the bot take care of your respectively. Make sure to return what you use. If you are though worse for wear consult the good doctors.
| |
|
| |
| '''Public chemistry fridge''' - During viral outbreaks virus vaccines will be in this fridge. If you hear someone from command announce "cure/vaccine/good virus is in the fridge" this is the fridge they are referring to.
| |
|
| |
| '''Chemistry front deck''' - This is where you can ask for any chemical substance your heart desires. There is no guarantee you will get it, but you can try saying please. It usually helps. Just try not to let any officers hear you saying "may I please have some meth, sir?"
| |
| === Medbay ===
| |
| The '''beating heart''' of the medical department. This is where the doctors usually idle about waiting for patients. This is where most of the healing and reviving starts and ends. What makes this spot important are the medical machines such as: stasis beds, sleepers, operating computers and tables. Doctors usually make slight modifications to this area by adding a organ fridge, more stasis beds, wall-mounted defibrillators... This space is so central to the medbay function that people will usually refer to the entire medical department as medbay for short.
| |
|
| |
| An important machine here is also the sleeper. Despite it's name you will in fact not sleep in them. Matter of fact you will probably be in them for about 2 seconds as the doctor uses them to inject healing chemicals into your bloodstream. The sleeper starts with the some basic healing chemicals. Where can we get better ones? That would be the bar to the medbay's kitchen the chemistry lab.
| |
| === Chemistry Lab ===
| |
| Usually just a few steps away from the medbay. The ChemLab has two fridges used to store <s>meth</s> medicine and helpful chemicals. One is available to the public and one is only available to the medical department. Chemistry's color is orange. Chemist's uniforms are orange, their vendor is orange and sometimes the tiles are also orange-white. The public fridge is use to store and distribute virus vaccines, cures, good viruses or just generally helpful chemicals.
| |
|
| |
| But the surefire way if what you are looking at is the chemistry lab is to look for a machine called the Chem Dispenser. This machine is '''the''' chemistry lab. The other machines are easily created or even just found in maintenance. Not this one. This one, using the power of <s>magic</s> SCIENCE, can generate chemicals from raw energy for your mixing pleasure. You can make the vast majority of the chemicals in this game by mixing what is available from this machine. Traitors will sometimes break into chemistry only to steal the circuit board for this machine by disassembling it (and also anyone near by.) They can then recreate the machine in their ''evil'' lair for their own ''evil'' purposes.
| |
| === Genetics ===
| |
| Genetics (marked with blue floor stripes) is split into two sections. The CMO controls the Cloning room, while the RD has control over the Research room. The RD is also given a back door that he can use to get in from Research Division.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| This is where most of the action is. It's also one of the easiest to find - just follow the trail of blood. Containing the station's only Cloning Machine and two DNA Modifiers, it's the last resort in medical care. Geneticists work here. There's also a batch of monkeys for genetic experimentation. It also has a locker for 'patient' storage, a few spare pieces of clothing and a copy of Cloning techniques of the 26th Century for the clueless sods who paid their way through their medical degree. There are also boxes of prescription glasses but it's trivial to fix poor vision properly anyway and avoid using up the eye slot.

| It's one of the most active areas in the Medbay. And, due to their need for their victim to stay dead, it's often a focus of traitors and harmful AIs. Even on a good day the machines suck power like nobody's business and won't last long without external power.
