You oversee your department of potentially functional MDs, making sure people are resurrected or robotized, ensuring the virologist doesn't cause an outbreak, and so much more. CMO is an underappreciated position with a wide variety of resources and responsibilities that are entirely essential to a functional station. | ||

Say hi, start a conversation, and take notes about the attitude and experience of your peers. Make an announcement for people to max their [[Suit sensors|Suit Sensors]] and then head to your office. In your locker will be several items. The most important things to grab will be the compact defibrillator, the door remote (functions as a way to bolt and open/close doors), your Hypospray Deluxe, and the defib wall mount that will allow you to mount a defibrillator on a wall. | ||

Runtime is your pet cat who starts her day in your office | Runtime is your pet cat who starts her day in your office. She will most likely never leaves your office (unless R&D is fucking around with the [[E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR]]), mostly lounging around, sipping on expensive space milk, meowing and mewing all day long. It's the best life a space cat can have, and she is all yours to snuggle and pet. Some say she is not important, as Ian is the most important pet they say (how dare they), but this is simply not true. While Ian may have more abilities like wearing things, Runtime is a space cat, who does not require pathetic humans. She is there because she desires to be there. | ||

As mentioned previously | As mentioned previously, you should try to measure up and keep tabs on your staff upon arrival in order to gauge their attitude of knowledge. You should exercise patience with newer players while attempting to guide and teach them. If someone is acting intentionally obnoxious or counterproductive, warn them, and if they continue, you are well within your rights to fire them. Otherwise, your primary focus should be coordinating your staff to try and work efficiently. As CMO, you shouldn’t be the one doing everything, that should be your staff, and you exist there to function as a leader, teacher, and someone to fill in workforce gaps as needed. Trying to be a overbearing completionist as well as trying to do everything yourself isn’t fun for many other people. Remember that your [[Medical Doctor]]s, [[Chemist]]s, and everyone else want to play the game, too. | ||

Ensure that your [[chemist]] is, at the very least, producing healing chemicals before they go off and start their own adventures. If they are unfamiliar with what to make or what is useful, list different healing medicines and the best way to administer them so they have something to work off of. Whether or not you want your chemist to make narcotics is down to your discretion. However, you should ensure that the doses they make them in should not enough to cause someone to have an addiction or overdose. | ||
With your [[virologist]], check in occasionally on what they're making and ensure they don't release viruses without your approval; have them ask before doing so. If they struggle with making a healing virus or seem unknowledgeable, try to educate them on some good starter viruses. | With your [[virologist]], check in occasionally on what they're making and ensure they don't release viruses without your approval; have them ask before doing so.

In medical, there are frequent times when absolutely nothing is happening. While this may be boring, there are a few activities that you can do to pass the time, both productive and non-productive. If someone is new, you should try to teach them about surgery and essential medicine. Empty bodies from genetics are the perfect way to demonstrate this. The same goes for your chemist; if they are new, teach them which chemicals are good or help them make healing mixes. If there is nobody in [[virology]] or a slot open in [[genetics]], you could fill in the gaps for those to pass the time. There are also ways that you can benefit other departments as well. Ask for a bounty sheet from cargo if they haven't brought one already and have you or your staff complete them. Frequently [[botany]] will want [[saltpetre]] or unstable mutagen, so make a beaker or so of those and bring them over. Make drying agent and [[space cleaner]] for the [[janitor]], radiation meds for [[Station Engineer|engineers]] and [[atmospheric technician]]s, [[ethanol]] for the [[bartender]], and so on. | In medical, there are frequent times when absolutely nothing is happening.

Alternatively, you could attempt to communicate and, gasp, roleplay with your staff. Grab a deck of cards or some dice from the [[library]] and play a game of uno or blackjack. Talk about whatever is on your mind or play guess that song; there is a whole array of activities that you can attempt to do if your staff are willing, and you are creative enough. | Alternatively, you could attempt to communicate and, gasp, roleplay with your staff.

Once someone is cured, take a blood sample from them; you can use this can be used to create a vaccine at the PanD.E.M.I.C 2200 Once this is done, the only tricky part should be wrangling people and having them take the vaccine; broadcasting that there is one with your announcement system should help with this. Only .1u of a vaccine is required if injected, but 5u is required if ingested. | It starts with a cough or an "I'm not feeling well."

There are several ways that large parts of the station may be uninhabitable, and not everyone will have the proper protection when it happens. If large areas are spaced, have your geneticist print out space adaptation for people to grab, and hold onto some yourself to pass out; same goes for heat adaptation if the station is too hot. If you have a [[virologist]], try to have them produce a self-respiration virus, however this isn't as reliable as it is entirely down to RNG. | There are several ways that large parts of the station may be uninhabitable, and not everyone will have the proper protection when it happens.

If [[xenomorph]]s or [[zombies]] are called out, medical will be responsible for halting their progression due to the ability to remove tumors and embryos. Ensure that your staff knows how to remove them and have you or your [[paramedic]]s coordinate with [[security]] to retrieve bodies safely. Always have [[charcoal]] or any form of anti-toxin on hand in the case of a zombie outbreak. Keep an escape route in mind and have you and your staff evacuate if there is a significant push and you are unarmed and attempt to regroup in areas such as the [[holodeck]] medbay or the [[brig]].

If a [[blob]] appears, prepare your staff for many bodies and injured individuals.
