''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.

Regardless of how the damage is accrued, it is dangerous in that it has no visual tell. Individuals suffering from poisoning will appear just the same as anyone else, aside from their decaying health and potential fits of vomiting. Toxin Damage is also marginally more involved to treat than Brute and Burn, as the Sleeper Pods have no inherent way to treat it (until upgraded by Science). As such, these cases will necessitate a trip into [[Medical_Doctor#Medical_Storage]] to grab a Toxins Treatment Kit, which will contain [[Guide_to_chemistry#Charcoal|Charcoal]] and [[Guide_to_chemistry#Anti-Toxin|Anti-Toxin]] pills. Both are very nearly equivalent, but Anti-Toxin has an overdose threshold of 30u, so use it sparingly. | Regardless of how the damage is accrued, it is dangerous in that it has no visual tell.

If a patient has Toxin Damage, it is also prudent to use the chemical scan functionality on your Health Analyzer on them (click the Analyzer in your active hand to change between scanning physical and chemical health). If they are actively suffering from [[Guide_to_chemistry#Toxins|poisoning]], continue to administer Charcoal or Anti-Toxin - both will reduce Toxin Damage ''and'' remove other chemicals from the patient - until the offending substance is purged from their bloodstream and their Toxin Damage is reduced to zero. | If a patient has Toxin Damage, it is also prudent to use the chemical scan functionality on your Health Analyzer on them (click the Analyzer in your active hand to change between scanning physical and chemical health).

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.

There are six internal organs that matter: the heart, the brain, the lungs, the liver, the stomach, and the appendix.

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. One important tool of which is the [[Clothes_and_internals#Eyewear|Health Scanner HUD]]. 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.

One of the most important developments of modern medical history is the creation of the Cryogenics system. Every Medical department comes equipped with one to two enormous Cryogenic Cells, and these devices simplify treating even the most wounded of patients down to pressing a few buttons, though they will need to be initially set up and maintained throughout the course of their service. | One of the most important developments of modern medical history is the creation of the Cryogenics system.

Cryogenics tubes need a few crucial pieces to function, the first of which is [[Guide_to_chemistry#Cryoxadone]]. Cryoxadone is a powerful regenerative chemical, but it only functions when the patient is at extremely low temperatures, which will be addressed shortly. A few spare beakers of Cryoxadone should be located near the Cryogenic Cells at the start of the round for quick insertion, but with too much use they will need to be replaced by Chemistry. | Cryogenics tubes need a few crucial pieces to function, the first of which is [[Guide_to_chemistry#Cryoxadone||Cryoxadone]].

Next, turn on the freezer attached to the Cryogenics pipe network and set the temperature as low as possible. This will cause patients in the cells to plummet in temperature, activating the healing properties of the Cryoxadone. | Next, turn on the freezer attached to the Cryogenics pipe network and set the temperature as low as possible.

If all these factors are met, then the patient will be brought back from death! However, this does not mean that death is no longer a concern. Instead, your patient will likely still be deep in critical condition, as a successful revival only removes a small amount of each damage type. They must quickly receive medical attention to be kept alive. Additionally, while the individual is dead, scan them with your Health Analyzer or your PDA to check how they died. If they have poison in their body, they will still have them there post revival, as chemicals remain in bodies after death, but do not metabolize. | If all these factors are met, then the patient will be brought back from death!

When people are injured, they are taken to Medical to be "doctored" by you and other people. Once there, they are under your control - you can then shoot them up with poisons, give them debilitating brain injuries, or go for malpractice to simply end them. You can hide victims by putting little notes on Morgue trays saying "This man has been borged" or "This man has been cloned" and no one will bat an eye at why they are naked, and why they are there, and often the [[chaplain]] will cremate them, or the [[chef]] will take some meat. | ||

* Syringe guns are one of the most potentially lethal weapons on the station. A simple 15 unit [[Guide_to_chemistry#Lexorin|Lexorin]] or [[Plasma]] syringe will either kill or severely wound unless the victim receives actual medical care. If you have more time, you can also create interesting poison mixes that will down people in less than 10 seconds, or add something that stuns to the mix.
