= | =Identification= | ||
First of all, grab a [[File:MedGlasses.png]] [[Medical_items#Health_Scanner_HUD|Health Scanner HUD]] from the medical storage and wear it. It greatly speeds up identifying the patient's condition. Identification is the first and foremost step in administering treatment. Here are ways to identify the type of injuries a person may have: | |||
==Four Types of Damage== | |||
* Humans can be hurt in four different ways: '''Suffocation, Toxin, Burn and Brute'''. | |||
* You want the patient to be as healthy as possible, so you have to heal all of these, and they have to be '''treated individually''' (unless you use a chemical which heals multiple damage types at once). | |||
* The overall health status (-100% - 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.''' | |||
===Suffocation=== | * You can identify these damage types easily by using your [[PDA]], with the Med-U Cartridge and health scanning enabled, or a [[Medical_items#Health_Analyzer|Health Analyzer]] on the patient. | ||
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 | * If a Health Analyzer or a PDA with a Med-U Cartridge is not available, observing their surroundings will help with diagnosis: | ||
:* If there is a pile of '''vomit''' next to, or under the patient then they are most likely suffering from [[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|toxin damage]]. | |||
:* If there is blood everywhere, blood on the person dying, or the patient has '''severe bruises''', they are suffering from [[Guide_to_medicine#Brute_Damage|brute damage]]. | |||
:* If the patient has black scars across their body and no blood, or the patient has '''severe burns''', they have been [[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|severely burned]]. | |||
:* If the patient has none of the above, they are most likely just [[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|suffocating]]. | |||
===Your First Patient=== | |||
Your patient can arrive in two ways: | |||
'''1. The patient walks in and needs treatment.''' | |||
:You can see the patient's overall health status with your Health Scanner HUD with just a glance, however this will only tell you how serious the situation is and how quickly you need to act. | |||
::How to act: | |||
::* Use your PDA or a Health Analyzer on the patient to identify the damage type. | |||
'''2. The patient is in critical condition and is dragged into Medbay.''' | |||
:The patient is unresponsive to the environment, on the floor, and gasping for air. | |||
::How to act: | |||
::* The first thing you should do 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 a few times to ensure the patient stays alive until you do the following step. | |||
:::'''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 the Medbay whilst administering CPR instead of sucking their face in the hallway for ten minutes like an idiot.''' | |||
::* Put the patient into a cryochamber, or (if you are a robust enough doctor) quickly identify the damage type and apply the needed treatment, this is a much faster method but can result in death if you fumble around for too long. | |||
===[[File:O2med.png]] 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 Health Analyzer, it is the left most damage type. '''People in critical condition will constantly take suffocation damage.''' | |||

These situations are not as common as normal damages, but they are still VERY LIKELY to happen. Most of these cases are also more severe, and it is essential to be quick. <br>'''So read up, these are the things that will separate quacks from real doctors!''' | |||

If you aren't serious about healing someone, don't give up halfway, get proper medical staff to help them. Don't leave them in Genetics to just die either (this wastes everyone else's time but yours), 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.
