If you're going to treat someone, you're going to have to know what tools you need, how to identify injuries, what machinery and facilities you must use, and how to keep people from dying while in treatment.

===Identification===
==Identification==
Identification is the first and foremost step in administering treatment. Here are ways to identify the type of injuries a person may have.

====Critically Wounded====
===Critically Wounded===
The patient will be unresponsive to the environment, on the floor, and gasping for air. The first thing you should do when you see these symptoms (or any of them!) is '''administer inaprovaline'''. Inaprovaline stops the general decline of the critical patient's health, but does not treat the wounds-- meaning toxic damage will continue to mount if it's present. If inaprovaline is not present, immediately perform CPR at least once and take out your medical scanner to identify the damage. Continue performing CPR until the patient has regained the ability to breathe on their own. '''''NOTE: CPR on it's own will not heal someone unless they are only suffering from suffocation damage. If they are in crit BECAUSE of burn/brute/toxins it will only keep them from dying. Remember to drag someone to medbay whilst administering CPR instead of sucking their face in the hallway for ten minutes like an idiot.'''

====Suffocation====
===Suffocation===
This is the first and most important to look out for. It is not visible on the body, but people suffering it will gasp for air. On the medical analyzer, it is the left most damage type. People in critical condition will constantly take suffocation damage.

====Toxins====
===Toxins===
This is the second from the left on the Medical Analyzer. It is not visible, and usually people will have no clue they are poisoned (Unless they're vomiting profusely). Thankfully it is easy to treat.

====Burns====
===Burns===
This is a straight-forward damage category. This is the damage type second to the right on Medical Analyzers. Burns are visible, and limb specific.

This is a straight-forward damage category. This is far right damage type on Medical Analyzers. Brute wounds are visible, and limb specific.

Diseases are the most frustrating thing you will deal with, as it spreads, and can infect you as well.

====Brain Damage====
===Brain Damage===
Nasty, makes people say stupid things and clunk their heads into airlocks, along with blacking out and an inability to use machinery.

====Radiation====
===Radiation===
Rarely you will treat this, it causes people to black out all the time and take steady toxin damage. It either comes from a random event where random crew members will "feel strange" and begin to vomit, but more likely you'll be treating engineers who got too close to the singularity.

====Genetic Deformities====
===Genetic Deformities===
Caused by slime attacks and imperfect cloning. Commonly seen in [[scientist]]s and those who have been cloned by genetics. Medical scanner will state that the person appears to have deformities, as well as examining them.

==Machinery and Facilities==
These are the vital machines that you need to treat abnormally damaging injuries. You need to be able to access the medbay to use any of these.

====Cryogenics====
 
===Cryogenics===
Requires oxygen tanks to be wrenched into place, and the freezer should ideally be set to 73.15 K. It automatically stabilizes people in critical condition, and will safely lower a patient's body temperature to levels at which cryoxadone and clonexadone are effective. These chemicals will heal all damage types, and are the only way to fix clone loss caused by cloning and slime feeding.

====Sleeper====
===Sleeper===
Sleepers contain an unlimited supply of five different chemicals. If the patient is in critical condition, sleepers can only administer inaprovaline. They cannot heal toxin or clone damage.

Line 147: Line 148:
Note: If someone only has burn and brute damage, eject them from cryo once they're reasonably far out of crit, then put them in the sleeper and fill them with bicaridine and dermaline. At busy times this will free up cryo for people who need it more, and it saves chemicals.
