Guide to Medicine

The Torch is far from home, and the dangerous of isolation deep space are many - whether it be vacuum, hostile xenofauna, toxic gas, catching fire, antagonizing the department GAS, or just some buffoon falling down the stairwell. For minor cuts or scrapes, some bandages and a good meal will suffice, but for anything truly dangerous, the damage will need specialized treatment, whether it be triage, transfusion, or, quite often, surgery.

On paper, playing as a doctor or paramedic is an altruistic job concerned with making sure the crew is healthy, and to a degree, it's true - but in practice, the infirmary often alternates between periods of silence and periods of panic and struggle where the wounded and dying are coming in faster than they can be treated. It can be very stressful work at its most hectic, gaining the affectionate designation of "hellmed" by the community, but getting the ship through one of these periods can be one of the most rewarding experiences that Space Station 13 has to offer.
