The fifth and final kind of damage is relatively rare, and deals with internal organs. Typically, organs inside a healthy living body will continue to function normally (and will regenerate any damage over time so long as the person is healthy and well fed), so they aren't ''usually'' a point of concern. However, in certain cases such as an overweight patient, severe alcohol overdose, or death, organs will decay. This can complicate revival procedures, and will have lingering effects post-revival. | The fifth and final kind of damage is relatively rare, and deals with internal organs.

These eyepieces passively perform scans of the vitals of those within your range of sight, allowing you to see bars over people's heads which indicate their general state of health. Not only is this useful for locating higher priority wounded patients in a crowd, but the [[HUD#Medical_HUD_Icons|red cross icon]] affixed to the displayed bar will change if the patient is detected as having a Disease or Virus, if they can be defibrillated, or if they are carrying an [[Xenomorph|unwanted passenger]]. | This is a more secure location inside of the Medical department, and houses much of the various equipment you'll need to perform your job.
