СМО Дроссель Фон Флюгель говорит: "Эскулап! Вырежи бедолаге аппендикс, вышвырни клоуна, и зашей тому курсанту морду!"

Работа врачевателя - вещь серьёзная, и "недобдеть" тут критичнее чем "перебдеть", ибо чревато. Удостоверься в своих знаниях, прежде чем кого-то лечить!

Если ты уж собрался это делать, то убедись, что ты знаешь и умеешь обращаться с нужными тебе инструментами, можешь различать виды ранений, знаешь как обращаться с техникой, и уверен в своих навыках поддержания жизнедеятельности своих пациентов.

Осмотр

Для начала, найди и надень медицинский визор. Он способен дать поверхностное описание здоровья, а в случае большей толпы поможет выявить наиболее тяжелых пациентов. Осмотр это первый и определяющий этап при любом лечении. Приведём типы повреждений, которые вы увидите у людей:

Типы урона

• Есть четыре основных типа повреждений: Suffocation (Удушье), Brute (Физический), Burn (Термический), and Toxin (Токсический). Этим типам соответствуют аптечки нужных видов, с помощью которых можно излечить ранения без применения сложного медицинского оборудования. В стандартной белой аптечке лежат штуки для лечения brute, burn, and bleeding урона.
• Есть и другие, менее часто встречающиеся виды: Cellular (Генетический), Organ damage (Урон по органам), and Bleeding (Кровотечения)
• Вам нужно будет вылечить всех своих пациентов как можно более эффективно, так что вам нужно каждому по своему недугу обеспечить Индивидуальное лечение (Окромя случаев когда у вас есть лекарства, способные лечить сразу несколько видов урона).
• Общий уровень здоровья (от 100% до -100%) определяется нанесённым уроном, включая урон по мозгу. Коль урона нет, то и пациент абсолютно здоров (100%).
• Если человек получит более чем сотню урона - он будет в Критическом состоянии (0%); будет валяться на полу без сознания, жадно хватая воздух. В подобном состоянии человек не способен дышать самостоятельно, от сего он будет получать Удушающий урон вплоть до своей смерти (-100%). Смерть убивает.
• Кровотечение отличается от прочих видов урона. Ниже будет этот момент раскрыт подробнее.

• Оперативно определить наличие разных видов урона вы можете с помощью своего PDA с Med-U картриджем внутри и включённым режимом сканера, или же с использованием анализатора здоровья на пациенте. Если перечисленные диагностические инструменты не доступны, вы можете просто осмотреть человека (shift-click) и при возможности определить ключевые проблемы.

• У пациента наблюдается рвота? В большинстве случаев это отравление токсинами.
• Человек истекает кровью, без сознания и с многочисленными ранами? Скорее всего дело в физическом уроне.
• Наблюдаете чёрные шрамы на теле, малокровие или просто слабые ожоги? Не поверите, это термический урон.
• Пациент жадно глотает воздух и время от времени теряет сознание? Это признаки удушья.
• Пострадавший то и дело теряет сознание, оставляя за собой следы из крови? Очевидно, что дело в кровопотере.
• Больной жалуется на головную боль, кашель или даже на рвоту с кровью? Это вирус, не иначе.

Ваш первый пациент

Есть два варианта как вы встретите своего первого пациента:

1. Пострадавший сам дотопает до медбея.

"ВРАЧ СПАСАЙ!!1" С помощью медицинского визора вы сможете получить поверхностную информацию о состоянии пациента, которая поможет вам понять насколько серьёзна ситуация и как быстро нужно действовать, чтобы её разрешить.

Для получения более детальной информации необходимо:

• Воспользоваться вашим медицинским ПДА (предварительно включив соответствующую опцию анализатора в нём) или анализатором здоровья для определения объёма и типа урона.
• Приступить к лечению.

2. Пациента притащили в медбей уже в критическом состоянии

Пациент не проявляет признаков сознания, задыхается или вовсе не дышит.

Порядок действий:

• Первым делом необходимо произвести инъекцию Эпинефрина. Данный препарат поможет стабилизировать состояние пострадавшего и предотвратить его дальнейшее ухудшение. Передозировка данным препаратом вызовет выброс токсинов.
• Если у больного наблюдается кровотечение, то следует наложить повязку для остановки потери крови. Категорично запрещается тащить больного с кровотечением по полу, так как это увеличит потери крови и создаст работу для уборщика. В стенах медбея используйте каталки, а если её нет под рукой, то шкаф.
• Если Эпинефрина под рукой нет, немедленно начните выполнять сердечно-лёгочную реанимацию (СЛР) несколько раз для поддержания жизни больного. Перед этим убедитесь, что вам и больному не угрожают проблемы из вне вроде отсутствия кислорода, низкого давления или опасно высокой температуры

На заметку: СЛР сможет помочь лишь страдающим от удушья пациентам. Если их состояние осложнено физическими травмами, ожогами, токсинами в крови или генетическими повреждениями, то СЛР лишь даст лишь немного времени

• У вас несколько вариантов лечения пациента:

1. Уложить в слипер. Для этого необходимо просто перетащить пациента в камеру. После автоматического закрытия устройства кликните по слиперу, чтобы открыть интерфейс и начать лечение.
2. Закрепить в стазис-камере. Для этого необходимо поместить пациента на одну клетку с устройством, а затем уложить перетаскиванием пациента на саму стазис-камеру. Воспользуйтесь необходимыми для лечения препаратами medicine и затем кликните по камере, чтобы отцепить человека по окончанию лечения.
3. Запустить процесс восстановления в крио камере. Для начала откройте камеру через интерфейс, после поместите тело внутрь и так же закройте, запустив следом процесс. Убедитесь, что система работает и на пациенте нет изолирующей одежды по типу скафандра. По окончанию процедуры камера откроется сама.
4. Просто воспользуйтесь подручными средствами из аптечек. В следующем разделе описаны примеры подобного лечения.

Удушье

Самый недооцененный вид урона в игре. Страдающих от удушья людей можно выявить по характерному сообщению gasp for air (жадно глотает воздух). При получении больше пятидесяти единиц удушья, человек теряет сознание и перестает дышать самостоятельно. На анализаторе здоровья урон окрашен в тёмно-фиолетовый цвет.

Условия, при которых вы можете получить данный урон:

• Нахождение в бескислородной среде без источника кислорода
• Страдая анемией, вызванной большой кровопотерей. Урон будет проявляться от времени.
• Нахождение в критическом состоянии
• Злоупотребление препаратами или наркотиками
• Отравление различными ядами, к примеру Цианидом
• Симптомы некоторыхвирусов
• Отсутствие легких
• Сердечный приступ или отсутствие сердца так такового.

Лечение:

• Если пострадавший в критическом состоянии, вы можете начать сердечно-лёгочную реанимацию (СЛР). Снимите маску с себя и пострадавшего, после переключитесь на режим помощи и кликните по пострадавшему, чтобы начать процесс реанимации.
• Если человек не в критическом состоянии и относительно стабилен, а его состоянию ничего не угрожает, то просто оставьте его в зоне с кислородом. Через какое то время ему станет лучше.
• Эпинефрин предотвращает последующее получение данного урона
• Сальбутамол поможет быстро избавиться от последствий удушья
• Криоксадон в крио-камерах или в холодных условиях способен вылечить все четыре основных типа урона, включая Удушье.
• Апельсиновый сок является не самым эффективным средством, но он сможет немного помочь, если под рукой нет других средств
• Если по какой то причине у человека отсутствует сердце, сделайте ему пересадку или дайте ему Коразон.
• Если работа сердца нестабильна, используйте дефибриллятор для стабилизации, или сделайте инъекцию Коразона. Любой другой источник тока так же поможет стабилизировать пульс.

Физический тип урона

Поверьте, с этим типом урона вы будете сталкиваться чаще всего. В анализаторе здоровья выделяется красным цветом.

Условия, при которых вы можете получить данный урон:

• Любое грубое механическое взаимодействие с человеком, будь то удар или бросок.
• Эффект от взаимодействия с некоторыми веществами

Лечение:

• При кровотечении воспользуйтесь перевязочным материалом чтобы предотвратить потерю крови.
• Полностью избавиться от механических травм поможет хирургическое вмешательство. Не забывайте поглядывать в хирургическую консоль время от времени, ведь если ваши коллеги из отдела Исследований не сидели просто так и успели продвинуться в исследованиях, то вам так же будут доступны более совершенные методы данного лечения.
• Самым простым способом лечения являются пластыри. Воспользуйтесь анализатором здоровья чтобы распознать очаги трамы или на крайний случай расспросите пациента о них.
• Бикаридин (всегда есть в слиперах) и Styptic Powder (в формате спрея или патчей) эффективно лечат физический урон.
• Салициловая кислота достаточно эффективен при лечении урона свыше 50 единиц, но начинает работать медленнее когда урон ниже этой отметки.
• Физ-раствор глюкозы [Saline-glucose solution] лечит медленно, но верно.
• Криоксадон в крио-камерах или в холодных условиях способен вылечить все четыре основных типа урона, включая Физический.
• Питательная еда так же повышает регенерацию. Не забудьте про горячие пирожки.
• Молоко (в том числе и его вариации), а так желатте со сливками поможет вам вне медбея.
• Существуют способы, связанные исключительно с вашей работой: пончики благотворно влияют наСотрудников Охраны, бананы и сок из них на клоунов и мартышек, а целое "ничего" в бутылке может излечить Мима от различных недугов. Пользуйтесь этими плюсами!
• При небольших травмах можно просто поспать.

Термический тип урона

This is a straight-forward damage category. This is the damage type second to the right on Health Analyzer. Burns are visible, and limb-specific.

Условия, при которых вы можете получить данный урон:

• Temperatures too high or too low cause burn damage. That includes coldness of space and being set on fire.
• Lasers deal burn damage.
• Some chemicals deal burn damage.
• Electric shocks deal burn damage.

Лечение:

• Tend Wounds surgery can be used to fully remove burn damage. Have Science research higher levels of surgery and then sync the surgery console in order to utilise better types of Tend Wounds.
• Ointments can be applied to the damaged limb. Use a medical scanner or ask the patient to examine themselves.
• Kelotane (in sleepers) and Silver Sulfadiazine (found in brute patches) heal burn damage over time.
• Reconstruction surgery will heal brute and burn damage.
• Oxandrolone heals burn damage over time, slowly if under 50 burn damage and quickly if over 50.
• Saline-glucose solution heals burn slowly.
• Cryoxadone in a cryotube or a very cold environment heal most types of damage, including burn.
• Tomato juice can heal it very slowly.
• There are some job-specific ways of healing it: Donuts heal security, bananas and banana juice heal clowns and monkeys, "nothing" in mime's bottle of nothing heals mimes.
• If the patient has above 80% health then they can use the Sleep verb or be put to sleep (e.g. morphine) and it'll heal brute, burn, toxin and stamina damage. This works faster on beds and tables.

Toxins

This is the second from the left on the Health Analyzer. It is not visible on the person's health doll. Thankfully it is easy to treat.

Условия, при которых вы можете получить данный урон:

• Breathing plasma deals toxic damage.
• Many chemicals deal toxic damage.
• Drinking a lot of alcohol can hurt your liver and deal toxic damage.
• A severely damaged or missing liver will deal toxic damage. Liver failure will also prevent the patient from processing any reagents.
• High doses of radiation deal toxic damage.
• Mind the difference between chemical named "toxin" and toxic damage.

Лечение:

• Antitoxin heals toxic damage and purges poison.
• Charcoal heals toxic damage and purges all other chemicals. Cannot OD.
• Pentetic acid heals toxic damage and purges all other chemicals quickly. Also purges radiation.
• Calomel purges toxic chemicals more quickly than pentetic acid but doesn't heal toxic damage, and will deal toxic damage if the patient has 20 health or more.
• Cryoxadone in a cryotube or a very cold environment heal most types of damage, including toxic.
• Lime juice, tea, iced tea can slowly heal it.
• Vomiting heals some toxic damage. You usually can't control it, however.
• If patient has a failing liver, a liver transplant will stop the toxin damage caused by that liver, and will allow chemicals to work in the body.
• If the patient has above 80% health then they can use the Sleep verb or be put to sleep (e.g. morphine) and it'll heal brute, burn, toxin and stamina damage. This works faster on beds and tables.

Bleeding

After a limb sustains 30 brute damage, it will start bleeding. Bleeding can also be caused by cuts from sharp objects.

IVs and gauze will provide relief from bleeding.

A Bloody Mary will also replenish lost blood.

WARNING: Incorrect blood types are toxic to the patient, and will not replenish their blood!

Treating bloodloss:

1. Bandage wound with a medical gauze to stop bleeding.
2. Locate brute damage.
3. Treat brute damages above ~30 to halt bleeding.
4. Assess blood levels, if low or critical, proceed with blood transfusion.
5. If a blood transfusion is unavailable, blood will be naturally produced by the body, albeit slowly.
6. Iron and most foods will improve blood regeneration.

Blood transfusion:

1. Use medical scanner on patient to find blood type.
2. Obtain blood pack from surgery, virology, or cargo.
3. Make sure IV drip is in the blue "inject" mode. You toggle this by clicking the IV drip when nothing is attached to it.
4. Attach blood pack to IV drip.
5. Click-drag IV drip onto patient.
6. Check up on patient's blood levels regularly, this process moves quickly.
7. Detach patient from IV drip by click-dragging the IV drip onto the patient again, or simply clicking the IV. If you forget this the patient will take some brute damage from the needle being ripped out.
8. Detach blood pack by clicking on the IV drip.

Blood donation:

1. Make sure IV drip is in the red "take" mode. You toggle this by clicking the IV drip when nothing is attached to it.
2. Attach a beaker or an empty blood pack to IV drip.
3. Attach to a donor by click-dragging it onto the donor.
4. Blood pack will automatically fill. The alarm will sound if patient's blood levels reach critical.
5. Detach IV drip by click-dragging it onto the donor again or simply clicking the IV.
6. Click on IV drip to eject the beaker or blood pack. Label appropriately.

Cellular damage

Rare kind of damage. It shows up on scanners and is visible on examination, but exact numbers aren't shown.

Ways of getting damaged:

• Slimes. They deal cellular damage when they feed on someone.
• Cloned people will have cellular damage, unless the cloner is fully upgraded and the cloning was 100% complete.
• Decloners from Abductors or R&D.

Treatment:

• Cryoxadone in a cryotube is the most common way to heal cellular damage.
• Rezadone instantly heals all cellular damage, even with only a 1 unit pill, and does not require a cryotube. But it's hard to get.

Keep in mind that cellular damage is not related to genetic disabilities (which must be treated with mutadone)! They are different things.

Файл:Liver organ.png Organ damage

Organ damage will cause side-effects as they reach thresholds, which will alert the owner when passed. If an organ shows up as "non-functional", that means its failing, and will not work, and will cause some life-threatening ailments depending on which organ it is. There is currently no way to see the exact damage of each organ, but for the most part they function on low-threshold, high-threshold, and failing, which will show up as "mildly damaged", "severely damaged", and "non-functional" lists when you scan someone with a medical scanner. Note that all the listed organs decay over time, which is the most common way they'll get damaged- but synthetic organs do not! The best way to avoid any of these side-effects is to replace your fleshy organs for metallic ones, though these too come with downsides in the form of EMP vulnerability.

Ways of getting damaged:

• Flashes and sharp objects in the eyes (eyes)
• Loud noises (ears)
• Appendicitis (appendix)
• Otherwise, an organ that's not in a living body (thus is on the ground or in a dead body) will decay if not held in a freezer, fridge, morgue unit, or organ smartfridge. Organs will go from perfectly healthy to broken in 15 minutes, except for hearts, which will decay completely in 4 minutes, and brains, which will decay completely in 30 minutes.

Treatment:

• A coronary bypass can be performed on a heart that's decayed past 60 damage, and restores functionality. Good for getting a heart that's too damaged to defib to work again.
• A lobectomy will do the same as above but for the lungs, which will scarce occur due to their 15 minute decay timer, but it's still an option.
• Oculine will rapidly fix damaged eyes, clearing any shortsightedness/blindness caused by damage.
• Inacusiate will immediately fix damaged ears to a perfect state.
• Otherwise, time and health will fix most organs (not the brain!). The healthier you are, the faster this rate goes, with a base rate of around half an hour for an organ to go from max damage to perfectly healthy. Taking vitamins increases your health, and thus increases this rate, so eat smart!

Side-Effects:

• Damaged ears will occasionally flare up with tinnitus, causing very brief deafness, with increasingly frequent bouts until the ears are non-functional, at which point you become deaf.
• Damaged eyes will grow increasingly short-sighted, until finally becoming blind when non-functional.
• Damaged lungs will make you cough, increase the rate at which you breath by 25% and will collapse if non-functional, causing rapid suffocation. Life-threatening!
• A non-functional appendix will burst, causing toxin damage until the organ is removed. Life-threatening!
• A damaged heart will increase the rate at which you breath by 25%, and will cease when non-functional, causing immediate heart attack. Life-threatening!
• A damaged stomach will be unable to hold nutriment and food down as easily, causing vomiting depending on the amount of food consumed and the damage of the stomach. A non-functional stomach does not digest any food.

Organ table

Each organ has 100 max hp except the eyes which have 50, and the brain which has 200.

	Organ	Decay time	Damage effects	Non-functional/broken effects	Treatment
	Heart	4 minutes	Expends oxygen faster by increasing breathing rate.	Heart attack. The patient will fall unconscious and rapidly take suffocation and brute damage until death. A broken heart stops defibrillation from working.	Coronary bypass or replacing the heart with surgery. Heart attack is treatable with defibrillation unless the heart is broken.
Файл:Liver organ.png	Liver	15 minutes	Toxin damage.	Rapid toxin damage and chemicals are no longer processed.	Higadrite and/or replacing the liver with surgery.
	Lungs	15 minutes	Coughing and expends oxygen faster by increasing breathing rate.	Prevents breathing, leading to rapid death from suffocation.	Lobectomy or replacing the lungs with surgery.
	Appendix	15 minutes	Nothing.	It bursts, causing toxin damage until the organ is removed.	Removing the appendix with surgery.
Файл:Stomach organ.png	Stomach	15 minutes	Causing vomiting depending on the amount of food consumed and the damage of the stomach.	Can't digest any food.	Replacing the stomach with surgery.
	Eyes	15 minutes	Worsening eyesight until fully blind.	Blindness.	Oculine or eye surgery.
	Ears	15 minutes	Worsening occasional tinnitus, causing very brief deafness.	Deafness.	Inacusiate.
	Brain	30 minutes	See Brain damage.	Death.	See Brain damage.

Brain damage

Nasty. Randomly causes brain traumas and other problems. If a brain reaches 0% health, the person dies. To be able to see exact brain health you can use an advanced health analyzer; the CMO gets one of by default.

Ways of getting damaged:

• Certain chemicals such as mercury, impedrezene, or fentanyl
• Abusing certain narcotics.
• Chaplain's bible applied to the head.
• Unholy Water
• Brainrot
• Earthsblood from Ambrosia Gaia.

Treatment:

• Mannitol pills or injections slowly cure brain damage, but does not cure brain traumas. Can be poured directly on a brain.
• Neurine will treat the most basic brain traumas. These traumas have no prefix on health analyzer.
• Brain Surgery, will also cure severe traumas. You can identify severe brain traumas by the prefix "severe" on health analyzer. Nanites can cure these and lower level traumas.
• Lobotomy will cure deep-rooted brain traumas, but at the risk of causing a different permanent trauma. You can identify deep-rooted brain traumas by the prefix "deep-rooted" on health analyzer. Additionally viruses and nanites can cure these.
• Permanent brain traumas are either permanent or curable with magic, which is typically unavailable. A lobotomy can cause these traumas. You can identify permanent brain traumas by the prefix "permanent" on health analyzer. If you get one of these, then assume "this is my life now".

Файл:DoubleESword.png Dismemberment

Patients may lose their head, legs or arms. A patient missing arms can't hold items or interact with objects. Missing legs will slow down a patient, but missing both legs also prevents them from holding any items unless they're buckled to a chair. Missing both arms and legs Patients missing a head will die in most cases as their body lacks its brain.

Examining a patient will describe any missing limbs.

Ways of getting damaged:

• Strong physical forces, such as explosions.
• Getting hit by strong, sharp objects such as swords.
  • Patients who experience severe trauma to the chest may have their organs spill out, but the torso will remain intact.
• Amputation via surgery.

Treatment:

• Prosthetic replacement via surgery.
  • Cyborg limbs may be used. Robotics can produce cyborg limbs, but there is also a crate of cheap prosthetic limbs in Medbay Storage.
  • Organic limbs may be used. In most cases a detached limb can be found and reattached. However, all the limb's damage will be transferred to the patient, so be ready to treat brute and bleeding. Any organic limb will also cause toxin damage when replaced.
  • Synthetic limbs from a limb grower may be used. The limb grower can only produce arms and legs, unless emagged.

Using Stasis Beds, Cryogenics and Sleepers

Файл:Stasis bed off.pngLifeform Stasis Units

These "Stasis Beds" can be found in medbay. They are constructable machines. You can buckle patients to them to put them into stasis. While in stasis they no longer bleed, no longer process reagents or diseases (good or bad), and if dead it freezes their defibrillation timer. Buckle badly hurt or dead patients on them to be able to safely treat them without them dying. Give them any medicine they need and then remove the patients from the stasis bed so the medication starts healing them. The patient is awake and fully aware while in stasis. You can turn the beds off or on with alt-click.

Файл:Cryo.gif Cryogenics Tube

Cryotube uses the fact that cryoxadone is effective at healing all types of damage, but only works in cold environments. Use it mainly to heal cellular damage, or if you're out of other options/unsure what to do. This is slow and forces the patient to sleep, so prefer using brute/fire patches for common damage types.

Cryotubes can also be upgraded by science parts. Better matter bins allow them to work slightly faster and more efficiently.

How to prepare (This needs to be done at the start of every round!):

1. Wrench the oxygen canisters to connect them to the tubes and the freezer.
2. Turn on the freezer. Set it to lowest temperature available.
3. Load beakers with chemicals. A common and highly effective mix for general use is cryoxadone, clonexadone and mannitol.
   • All chemicals will work, so you can add anything. This is the job of chemists.
   • Be sure to only add chemicals that you can't overdose on, as patients in cryo will receive large doses of all chemicals in the beaker.
4. Set the tubes to Auto instead of Manual, so they'll open after the patient is healed. Otherwise, they'll be trapped in until someone opens the tube from outside.

How to use:

1. Ensure the cryo tube is open first. If not, open it.
2. Pull the person on top of the tube.
3. Remove all clothes that prevent freezing, such as hardsuits. Else it won't work.
4. Close the cryo tube with its menu, or click on them with your mouse and drag their sprite to the tube.
5. Open the tube menu and turn it on. If their health starts to improve (sometimes it takes a moment to start), they're all set. If not, make sure everything is set up properly (cryoxadone in the tubes? pressure in the canisters?).
6. Turning it on will put the patient to sleep.
7. If set to auto, the tube will turn off and pop open automatically.
8. Shake the person to get them up (switch to help intent and click on them multiple times).
9. Let them redress (or do it for them) then kick them out.

If you ever see this:
Файл:Trapped in cryo.png

Then those people are trapped in powered off cryo tubes. Run to them immediately and either turn the tubes ON or let the patients out! Make sure cryo tube doors are also set to AUTO and not MANUAL. And make sure the patients are actually healing, or else you have to try other treatments instead.

Sleeper

Sleepers allow you to inject various chemicals, and have unlimited stocks of them. Sleepers cannot inject most chemicals when the patient's health is very low, with the exception of injecting epinephrine.

Sleepers also show you chemicals present in person's bloodstream.

Scientists can produce upgraded parts for sleepers.

How to use:

1. Ensure the sleeper is open. If it's not, open it.
2. Pull the patient near the sleeper.
3. Click and hold on the patient, move the cursor to the sleeper, then release. This puts the patient inside.
4. Click on the sleeper to open the menu.
5. Inject chemicals they need. (See the list of sleeper chemicals available).
6. Open the sleeper and remove the patient.

Rarer Cases

These situations are not as common as normal damages, but they are still VERY LIKELY to happen. AND most of these cases are also more severe, and it is essential to be fucking fast and know this stuff!
So read up, these are the things that will separate quacks from real doctors!

Overdose

Giving too much of some chemicals or drugs can cause an overdose. This means that you aren't doing your job correctly and you may even kill the patient if you don't stop doing it! Check the overdose threshold column in the guide to chemistry before you use a medicine.

How to treat:

• Charcoal purges chemicals slowly and can help with toxin damage.
• Calomel purges chemicals quickly and is relatively easy to make in chemistry.
• Pentetic acid clears all chemicals from the body very quickly.

Disease

Diseases are the most frustrating thing you will deal with, as it spreads, and can infect you as well. A disease can be identified easily with the Health Scanner HUD, it giving an unhappy-face-icon next to the patient. PDA or a Health Analyzer will give more detailed information about the disease and its cure.

How to Treat:

1. Suit up in anti-viral equipment.
2. Isolate the patient from public areas (if they have an infectious disease).
3. Use your Health Analyzer or PDA to see the cure for the disease (see the list of possible cures). This won't work if the disease is stealthy.
4. If the virus is stealthy, you must take a blood sample to a PanD.E.M.I.C 2200 to see the cure.
5. Administer the chemical element needed OR if the virologist has made a vaccine, administering one unit of it will instantly cure and immunize.
6. Monitor the patient's condition and do not leave them until they are clear and have become resistant to the disease.
7. Check if you are infected after dealing with the patient.

After:

• If you did not have the vaccine for the disease, see How to create a vaccine.

Cloned people lose their immunity and can be reinfected.

Blindness

The person cannot see, they usually will scream about this endlessly.

How to treat:

• If vision is just blurry, give carrots or a pair of prescription glasses.
• If they are completely blind, eye surgery.
• Omnizine has a chance of curing blindness while slowly healing eye damage.
• Oculine can be made by chemistry, and will heal all eye damage.

Deafness

The person cannot hear, they are usually unresponsive to verbal communication and can't even hear themselves talking.

What causes it:

• Genetic mutations can cause genetic deafness.
• Ear damage can render a person deaf temporarily, but extreme ear damage causes permanent deafness.
• Explosions cause ear damage.
• Flashbangs cause ear damage.

How to treat:

• Most ear damage will heal on its own.
• Inacusiate heals minor ear damage instantly.
• Put earmuffs on the patient and minor ear damage will quickly heal.
• Mutadone can reset genetic mutations including deafness.

Genetic Disabilities

Disabilities cannot be cured by normal medical tools. If a patient appears to be unable to move and/or they speak in very short sentences, they most likely have a genetic disability.

How to treat:

• Ask a competent geneticist to remove the bad mutation.
• A one unit mutadone pill or injection will instantly cure all genetic abnormalities. This includes beneficial ones.

Radiation

Radiation causes people to lose hair, puke, black out, and take steady toxin damage. It may cause people to mutate and gain genetic disabilities as well. Radiation either comes from space radiation surges, after which crew members will "feel strange" and begin to vomit, but more likely you'll be treating engineers who got too close to the supermatter, atmos techs (or bystanders) doing badly contained fusion work, or geneticists and people undergoing genetic testing who've stuck themselves with too many SE injectors.

A medical analyzer will only say whether a patient is irradiated or not, so you need a Geiger counter or advanced medical analyzer to see the exact radiation levels of a patient.

How to treat:

• If you have potassium iodide or pentetic acid, use them. These will remove the radiation before it poisons the patient further.
• Give the patient a shower to help lower radiation levels.
• Else, treat with charcoal or toxin-healing chems until the radiation levels have subsided.
• Heavily irradiated patients will irradiate anyone around them. Try to isolate the patient, check rads on whoever dragged them in, and get yourself treated as well.
• If they were sitting by the SM for a while before someone got them out, or if atmos has been misbehaving and things have really gone to shit, the (probably dead) patient's clothes or other items could be contaminated. Keep in mind that you can scan items with a Geiger, although if things have gotten to this point you are probably too busy with people to have time to do that. Put their old body somewhere away from the cloner, at least.

Hallucinations

This nasty effect causes the victim to see (usually deadly) objects in his and others' hands, along with random visions of people and creatures attacking him, causing stamina damage. Extremely unpleasant. Caused by changelings, mindbreaker toxin,supermatter, and some bad 'shrooms.

How to treat:

• Synaptizine is good for removing hallucinations. But can cause light toxin damage.
• Haloperidol is not as good as synaptizine at removing hallucinations, but it will also quickly purge drugs that are likely causing them.

Death

So your patient is dead. There are several typical cases of death. If your patient is a normal dead body though (with a head and brain), your first course of action is usually to prepare the body for defibrillation.

Revival methods

Файл:Defib.pngDefibrillation

The defibrillator can shock a body back to life. Defibrillation has a timed window of 15 minutes, but the heart will decay in only 4 minutes and must typically be repaired for a late defibrillation to work. Other organs may be damaged as well.

1. Examine the body. Does it say they committed suicide or that their soul has departed? Nothing you can do for them, fast track them to the morgue.
2. If the body has this icon 32px on your health scanner hud it means its soul is still online and has not used the "Do Not Resuscitate" button. Inject the patient with some formaldehyde (medipens have some) or buckle them to a Stasis Bed to stop the organ decay, and scan them with a health analyzer. Do they have more than 180 brute or burn damage (tracked separately, having 179 of each is fine)? If so, you must heal the corpse with synthflesh or surgery until it has under 180 brute and burn. You can buy synthflesh from the NanoMed Plus or have it made in chemistry.
3. If the health analyzer says the patient's heart is non-functional, the heart must be repaired or replaced.
4. If the patient is wearing a space suit or hardsuit, take it off. To take it off, drag the sprite of the patient onto yours, and click the hardsuit in the menu that pops up.
5. If the body is a grey husk see husk.
6. If the patient is missing too much blood, do a blood transfusion.
7. If the patient has large amounts of bad reagents, do a stomach pump.
8. Once the patient is prepared, equip your defib. The large one goes on your backpack slot, and the compact defib that the CMO gets goes on your belt slot. Then empty both of your hands, and click the new defib hud icon on your top left to take out the paddles. Activate/click the paddles with the hand you're holding them in to wield them in both hands. Stop dragging the patient (with H or delete) or you will be shocked. Switch to help intent, target the chest, and then click on the patient. After a few seconds, you'll deliver an electric shock.
9. If the defib pings and says the resuscitation was successful, use medicine on them and unbuckle them from the Stasis Bed to make them start healing up. If the defib instead says they have severe tissue damage, they are either a husk, have a non-functional crucial organ or have more than 180 brute or burn damage, and needs to be repaired more.

A successful defibrillation will instantly heal some basic damage and put the patient in a hardcrit state. If the revived patient had less damage than that the defib will instead deal suffocation damage to put them in crit.

Strange Reagent

Another option for revival is the chemical strange reagent, which works similarly to defibrillation, except with slightly different requirements (read them here). Use the same steps to prepare the body as before defibrillation, except this revival method also restores some blood levels and organ damage depending on how much of the reagent you use. Muest be ingested.

Replica Pod cloning

If you can't find the patient's brain your only choice is try to turn them into a podperson. See here how. Note there is no way for you to see if a brainless body has a soul or not, since the examine message won't tell you. If the patient has no blood, you can give blood to the corpse, then use that for podding.

Revival surgery

Revival surgery is an optional way to bring people back to life. See the surgery page for details. This may be useful for races without hearts since it makes you defibrillate the head instead of the heart.

Typical cases of death

The following tables contain suggested actions for when you encounter corpses, heads or brains.

Normal dead body

Examine the body.

Body examine message	Means	Treatment
He/she is limp and unresponsive; there are no signs of life...	The patient has a connected soul/ghost online and is thus eligible for revival. Note: A corpse without brain/head shows this message even if there is no soul.	See revival methods.
He/she is limp and unresponsive; there are no signs of life and his/her soul has departed...	No soul. Can not be revived. Caused by patient ghosting (leaving body when alive), logging off or using the Do-Not-Resuscitate action. Or there never was a soul in the first place.	Bring to morgue.
His/her soul seems to have been ripped out of his/her body. Revival is impossible.	Patient sold or lost their soul. Can not be revived.	Bring to morgue.
He/she appears to have committed suicide... there is no hope of recovery.	Patient committed suicide, which makes revival impossible.	Bring to morgue.
It appears that his/her brain is missing...	Brain is missing.	See Replica Pod cloning.
His/her head is missing!	Head is missing.	See Replica Pod cloning.

Head without body

Examine the head.

Head examine message	Means	Treatment
The brain has been removed from name's head.	No brain. Nothing you can do.	Bring to morgue.
There's a miserable expression on name's face; they must have really hated life. There's no hope of recovery.	Suicide. Nothing you can do.	Bring to morgue.
It's leaking some kind of... clear fluid? The brain inside must be in pretty bad shape.	The brain inside has 0 health.	Option 1: Attach head to a body with prosthetic replacement, fix brain with brain surgery. Then see revival methods. This preserves identity. Option 2: Cut the brain out and repair it with mannitol. Put it in a new body with organ manipulation. Then see revival methods.
Its muscles are twitching slightly... It seems to have some life still in it.	Head has a soul.	Move head or brain to a new body with surgery and use a revival method.
It's completely lifeless. Perhaps there'll be a chance for them later.	Head's soul isn't around anymore, but revival may be possible if it comes back (online).	Leave it around or put the brain in a Man-Machine Interface so it can talk if it comes back.
It's completely lifeless.	No soul. Permanent.	Bring to morgue.

Brain without body

Examine the brain.

Brain examine message	Means	Treatment
It's started turning slightly grey. They must not have been able to handle the stress of it all.	Suicide. Nothing you can do.	Bring to morgue.
It seems to still have a bit of energy within it, but it's rather damaged... You may be able to restore it with some mannitol.	Brain has 0 health.	Repair it with mannitol. Put it in a new body with organ manipulation. Then see revival methods.
You can feel the small spark of life still left in this one, but it's got some bruises. You may be able to restore it with some mannitol.	Brain is damaged but not broken.	Same as above.
You can feel the small spark of life still left in this one.	Brain is fine and has a soul.	Put it in a new body with organ manipulation. Then see revival methods.
This one is completely devoid of life.	No soul. Permanent.	Bring to morgue.

Husk

Typically a victim of heavy burn damage. It can be unhusked with 100u synthflesh or 5u rezadone. The corpse must have under 50 burn damage for it to work. Proceed to revival methods afterwards. If unhusking doesn't work then the corpse may be a changeling victim. A Changeling victim needs a brain transplant to be revivable.

Completely messed up corpse

A body could be missing all limbs except head, be husked, bloodless, contaminated with radiation and have 600 damage etc. In these cases the simple solution is to amputate the head and attach it to a fresh body with prosthetic replacement. Then use your revival method of choice.

Afternote

PLEASE NOTE In the morgue there are lights on the side of the trays. The red light means there is a dead body with no ghost occupying it. Green light means there is a body with a ghost in it, which means you should attempt to revive it. The green light is normally accompanied by a beeping sound as well, which can be turned off by alt-clicking the tray. If you aren't serious about healing someone, don't give up halfway. Get proper medical staff to help them. At least try to have a doctor save them.
