Brute damage can also cause bleeding, which is covered in the [[Guide_to_medicine#Treating_Bleeding|guide to medicine]] more extensively. To put it concisely, if a patient has brute damage, first diagnose if they are bleeding, as that will cause more complications if it continues unabated. If they are bleeding, wrap the wound in gauze (located in your First Aid Kit) to give yourself time to treat the damage causing it, while taking note of their blood levels. More often than not, a patient will be able to recover their lost blood over time (a healthy diet will speed this process up). Still, if the Health Analyzer reports a '''LOW''' or '''CRITICAL''' blood level, or the patient says that they are feeling lightheaded or look pale, they will need a [[Guide_to_medicine#Treating_Bleeding|blood transfusion]]. If attempting a transfusion, be sure to give the patient the correct type of replacement blood, or you may end up harming them further - the Health Analyzer will provide a blood type readout, as will the patient's medical record file. | Brute damage can also cause bleeding, which is covered in the [[Guide_to_medicine#Treating_Bleeding|guide to medicine]] more extensively.

The second most common type of damage is ''Burn Damage''. This is caused by a multitude of sources, from fire and inhospitably high (or low) temperatures to laser blasts to standing in space unprotected. Burn Damage visually manifests as grey streaks on a person's body, which can be hard to see on more thoroughly dressed up individuals. Burn damage is often treated by [[Guide_to_chemistry#Aiuri|Aiuri]] injections through the Sleeper Pods or the application of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Silver_Sulfadiazine|Silver Sulfadiazine]] and other advanced medicines.

Your starter First Aid Kit also has two packages of regenerative mesh inside it, which can be applied to injured areas to heal their Burn Damage with a short delay. | ||

''Toxin Damage'' is the third type of damage, and is somewhat less commonplace than any of the others. Plasma, radiation, and severe alcohol poisoning all increase toxin levels, at varying effectiveness, as well as other methods. | ''Toxin Damage'' is the third type of damage, and is somewhat less commonplace than any of the others.
