Medical Doctors fill a tricky role aboard the station, and are somewhat outpaced by the march of medical technology. With the advent of cloning, saving lives is no longer as all important as it used to be, as death can effectively be made temporary. However, it is your goal to prevent your fellow crew members from getting to the point of needing to be turned into a duplicate of themselves. You are the first line of defense. Your department employs Medical Doctors like yourself, a Psychiatrist, [[Geneticist]]s, [[Paramedic]]s, [[Virologist]]s, [[Chemist]]s, and a [[Chief Medical Officer]] and is often tasked with solving many of the station's problems. | Medical Doctors fill a tricky role aboard the station, and are somewhat outpaced by the march of medical technology.

Not directly used for healing, but indispensable for advanced treatment. When laid on a stasis bed, a patient is stunned and stops having ''life ticks''. In the simplest terms, this means that all their life functions, metabolism (including reagents and oxygen usage), breathing, disease progression, organ decay, bleeding and catastrophic combustion reactions with oxygen in the air, are put on pause. | Not directly used for healing, but indispensable for advanced treatment.

Slowing organ decay is one of the more important uses; stopping it completely with a fully upgraded capacitor. If someone is dead, you can put them here so their heart decays more slowly. Stasis also stops poisons and any damage if the patient lacks functioning lungs or breathable air. There are very few ways for people to suffer damage or die while in stasis. You don't want anyone to die, do you? | |||
