| ==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).

| While the images bellow are probably '''<u>outdated</u>'''. They should nevertheless give you a ''general'' idea of the medical department. Feel free to add or update some images!<gallery>

| ==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 you respectively. Make sure to return what you use. If you are though worse for wear or have no idea what to do 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 an 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 is the sleeper. Despite it's name you will, in fact, not sleep in them. More probably you will be in them for about 2 seconds as the good 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 used to store and distribute virus vaccines, cures, good viruses or just generally helpful chemicals.
| |
|
| |
| But the surefire way to know that 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 and using a heater. 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 is recognizable by the purple RnD color tiles and the purple "GENE" sign. The lab contains two [[Medical items#Machinery%20and%20Facilities|DNA scanners with consoles]]. These are maned by two [[Geneticist|geneticists]] who discover and distribute [[Guide to genetics#The%20A-G%20of%20Genes|mutations]]. You can learn more about genetic manipulation [[Guide to genetics|here]]. Every lab comes with a pen of monkeys that is used for horrific genetic experimentation. But some pens are jungle themed! So, it works out you see. The main lab falls under the [[Research Director|RD's]] jurisdiction.
| |
|
| |
| The medical cloning pod "room" is usually nearby. The blue tiles and “CLONE” sign also signify that this part is in the [[Chief Medical Officer|CMO's]] domain. Mostly used by the [[Medical Doctor|M.D.s]]. Contains the [[Medical items#Machinery%20and%20Facilities|DNA scanner with the cloning pod]]. When patients are too damaged or if the only thing left is the brain cloning is used to "revive” them. When a person is cloned, they forget the last 15 minutes of their life. Learn about medical [[Guide to medicine|here]]. It also usually contains a locker of spare clothes and a shower for easy [[Plasmaman|plasma man]] cloning.
