Organ damage occurs regularly in decaying bodies, and irregularly in living ones under specific conditions. There are five main internal organs of note: the heart, the brain, the lungs, the liver, the stomach, and the appendix. Organs all have 100 health, which decays at a set amount in dead bodies per second, and regenerates a variable amount of health in living, well fed, bodies. A brief description of each organ, including their function, what damage does to them, and how to fix said damage, is as follows: | Organ damage occurs regularly in decaying bodies, and irregularly in living ones under specific conditions.

**'''Heart damage''' is accumulated by a heart being in a non-living host, reaching an inoperable state within 5 minutes in a corpse. After a particular threshold of heart damage is taken, the heart is considered ''damaged'' - this will cause shortness of breath, and if the organ is damaged to the point of ''failure'', it can cause heart attacks, which will rapidly result in death unless defibrillation is applied with haste. | **'''Heart damage''' is accumulated by a heart being in a non-living host, reaching an inoperable state within 5 minutes in a corpse.

* [[Preternis]] are robotic-augmented Humans, and as such, most healing chemicals will have no effect on their robotic physiology. For proper healing, sent these victims to [[Robotics]]. Much like fixing the damage to prosthetic limbs, Preternis must be repaired with wires and welding. They must also recharge their internal batteries, much like other races must eat, so if one is constantly losing health with seemingly no explanation, have Robotics take them to an APC and let them feed on the power within. | * [[Preternis]] are robotic-augmented Humans, and as such, most healing chemicals will have no effect on their robotic physiology.

* [[Plasmamen]] are sentient skeletons made of solidified plasma, which require specialized enviro-suits and plasma to breathe, and will ignite violently in reaction to a standard atmosphere. The main problem with them is that once they lose their environmental suits and plasma air tanks, you'll be left to treat a constantly igniting, suffocating skeleton. These are the same issues you'll encounter if you should happen to need to clone a plasmaman, as clones emerge from the cloner naked, which in this case means on fire and suffocating. Treatment of environmentally-compromised plasmamen should always begin with placing them under a shower and turning on the water. This will stop them from combusting infinitely, and allow you to address the issue of them needing to breathe. The Cargo department can order a Plasmaman Internals kit from Central Command, which includes a new environmental suit and plasma tank, which should be done urgently to prevent your patient from expiring (again). These can be applied by clicking and dragging the sprite of the other player to your own, and then clicking on the suitable equipment slots withe enviro-suit and plasma air tank in hand. | * [[Plasmamen]] are sentient skeletons made of solidified plasma, which require specialized enviro-suits and plasma to breathe, and will ignite violently in reaction to a standard atmosphere.

'''PLEASE NOTE''' In the morgue there are lights on the side of the trays. The red light means there is a dead body with no ghost occupying it. Green light means there is a body with a ghost in it, which means you should [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|clone]] it. The green light is normally accompanied by a beeping sound as well, which can be turned off by alt-clicking the tray. | '''PLEASE NOTE''' In the morgue there are lights on the side of the trays.

If you aren't serious about healing someone, don't give up halfway, get proper medical staff to help them. Don't leave them outside Genetics to just die either (this wastes everyone else's time, except yours, you selfish fuck), at least try to have a doctor save them. | If you aren't serious about healing someone, don't give up halfway, get proper medical staff to help them.
