First of all, grab a [[File:MedGlasses.png]] [[Medical_items#Health_Scanner_HUD|Health Scanner HUD]] from the medical storage and wear it. It shows the patient's overall health condition and therefore shows you instantly who you should treat first from a group of patients. Identification is the first and foremost step in administering treatment. Here are ways to identify the type of injuries a person may have:

* The overall health status (from 100% to -100%) is determined by adding these damages together. If there are 0 damages, the patient is '''perfectly healthy (100%)'''.
* If the patient has 100 of any damage, he will be in a '''critical condition''' (0%); lying on the ground, unresponsive and ''gasping'' for air. When in this condition, the patient will gradually take suffocation damage until death (-100%). '''This kills the patient.'''
* If the patient has taken 100 of any damage, he will be in a '''critical condition (0%)'''; lying on the ground, unresponsive and ''gasping'' for air. When in this condition, the patient cannot breathe on their own and will gradually take suffocation damage until '''death (-100%)'''. This kills the patient.
