Medical has the right to refuse treatment of any kind to anyone for any reason. However, generally they should provide treatment unless there is strong reason not to.  Use common sense here: "They should stop dying so much" is not strong reason to refuse treatment.


In the case of a crisis or direct order from the Captain, Medical may still be forced to treat a patient. Treatment of a patient should always prioritize timeliness, unless the patient refuses. Chemistry Chemists are expected to make a minimum effort to stock the chemfridge. Failing to do so where reasonable, can be considered dereliction of duty. Chemists who spend their shifts making unnecessary or frivolous chemicals at the expense of their job are derelicting and should be demoted. Liquids and beakers containing them should be properly flushed using the chem-master, and generally should not be tossed haphazardly down disposals. Failing to properly secure and handle chemicals can be considered Negligence. Chemists should generally be consulted to flush chemicals you find lying about, dangerous or not.

Virology In most cases, a Virologist should seek permission before releasing a virus of any kind. Contagious viruses should not be released unless reasonable to do so.

The Orderly's job is to maintain order in the medical bay, and are generally expected to defer to and assist Doctors in their work where reasonable, as well as providing medicine for minor injuries. Orderlies generally answer to the CMO first, and are held to the same standards as a security officer.

* Chemists are expected to stock the fridge with a bare minimum of chemicals in order for the medical team to thrive. The Chief Medical Officer may determine the quantity or quality of this, but a general idea is: all four damage types covered, radiation treatment (pot-iod is fine), mutagens, beneficial viruses, and husk treatment.
* Factories are considered a side project, and should not take priority over the demands of medical staff when necessary. If a doctor is demanding a chemist to produce a high quantity of synthflesh, the factory must either provide that in a quick amount of time (5 or 10 minutes at most), or be left alone until the need is no longer necessary.
* Chemicals should be mixed with common sense. Mixing volatile chemicals to intentionally cause an explosion is grounds for immediate demotion.

* Beneficial viruses should have their properties listed on the distributive agent and made easily known to crewmembers exposed to it. Method of transmission should not be airborne, as consent is mandatory for the spread to be considered legal. Failure to do so is grounds for demotion.
* Harmful viruses should never leave the space of the Virology workspace. If exposure occurs, the Virologist in question may be charged with Biological Terror.

Medical Policy

Treatment

  • The primary duty of Medical is to keep crewmembers alive and well. To this end, treatment is covered by NanoTrasen and requires no cost to anyone.
  • The Chief Medical Officer is responsible for making sure that all Medical Doctors, Paramedics, Virologists, Chemists, Morticians, and Psychologists are appropriately and professionally dealing with the medical needs of the crew.
  • Inappropriate and unwanted surgeries are grounds for immediate demotion. This includes: gender modification, pacification, hypnosis, and so on. Consent must be given, aside from the case of pacification, where the Head of Security has ordered it.
  • Patients and doctors are requested to remain a safe distance away from all ongoing surgeries to provide privacy to patients and staff alike while they work.

Paramedics

  • Paramedics should be prepared to respond to any call for Medical, and arrive in a quick and timely fashion.
  • Field treatment may be done as necessary, but it is better to take the patient directly to Medbay for treatment.
  • Deploying to Lavaland is purely optional, and should not be mandated by the Chief Medical Officer, unless adequately equipped and attended by a backup team.

Chemistry

  • Chemists are expected to stock the fridge with a bare minimum of chemicals in order for the medical team to thrive. The Chief Medical Officer may determine the quantity or quality of this, but a general idea is: all four damage types covered, radiation treatment (pot-iod is fine), mutagens, beneficial viruses, and husk treatment.

  • Chemicals should be mixed with common sense. Mixing volatile chemicals to intentionally cause an explosion is grounds for immediate demotion.

Psychiatrist

  • The psychiatrist should be open to provide services to the crew, to their comfort and need. Private and community therapy should be organized as fit to the psychiatrist's desire.

Virologist

  • Beneficial viruses should have their properties listed on the distributive agent and made easily known to crewmembers exposed to it. Method of transmission should not be airborne, as consent is mandatory for the spread to be considered legal. Failure to do so is grounds for demotion.
  • Harmful viruses should never leave the space of the Virology workspace. If exposure occurs, the Virologist in question may be charged with Biological Terror.
