	You are the medical leader on the station. The ideal Chief Medical Officer would have the knowledge to perform common surgical operations, manufacture most basic pharmaceuticals. You should allow your subordinates to handle the bulk of the work and only jump in to help new players or fill in critical roles that your character would be able to perform. The objective in mind is ensuring that everyone in the department has their place.		You are the medical leader on the station.

	Make sure that you have a dedicated EMT team ready to respond to calls for medical assistance from outside of Medbay, someone manning the front desk to handle arrivals and minor cases, and someone - preferably a medical doctor - waiting in the wings to handle critical cases that require Cryo treatment or surgery. Each of these three assignments is vital for different reasons, and, once given a job, your staff should focus on doing that job exclusively except in case of emergency and only help out when asked for instead of jumping in whenever they feel more competent. If they don't, and they try to do someone else's job, it means that you have two doctors doing a job that could be done by <s>three</s> one, and an area which is left understaffed. Make sure that everyone is entirely clear on exactly what their job is and why it is important.

Make sure that everyone is entirely clear on exactly what their job is and why it is important.

	When everyone has their assignments, make sure that everybody has their Medical belts stocked with the basic tools of the trade - gauze, ~~ointment~~, ~~Inaprovaline~~, and things like that. Emergency Physicians, Paramedics and EMTs should carry more than most, and should have [[Guide_to_Medicine#Common_Equipment\|a variety of Medkits]] available for unusual cases, since they're the first responders and may have to deal with anything.

	=== Chemical Fixes ===		=== Chemical Fixes ===
	Once your main staff is set up, contact Chemistry and get them to start making medicines for your doctors. ~~Clonexadone~~ is ~~a must-~~have, so have ~~the Chemists take the cryoxadone from Cryo and mix some up immediately~~, ~~so have those mixed up as soon as possible~~, and ~~make sure that your doctors know that they're available and where~~ to ~~find them~~. Make sure that Virology gets some ~~diluted milk and radium, too, or your Virologists won't be able~~ to ~~do anything~~. Once you have all of the basic medicines, have Chemistry mix up a little bit of everything and stock up on the important stuff~~, or~~ <s>do all the work yourself</s> decide to have a shift without every chemical known to man prepared an hour before the ~~time police~~ arrives.		Once your main staff is set up, contact Chemistry and get them to start making medicines for your doctors. Mannitol is good to have on hand for [[Bitrunner\|Bitrunners]] and those with unfortunate brain deterioration, or the recently revived. A good rule to follow is to have something for Brute, Burn, Toxin and Oxyloss to provide a less invasive fix for superficial damage. Make sure that Virology gets some Synaptizine to speed up their virus making. Once you have all of the basic medicines, have Chemistry mix up a little bit of everything and stock up on the important stuff. Be sure your staff know what's available! Otherwise they may simply gather dust in the chem fridge. Or <s>do all the work yourself</s> decide to have a shift without every chemical known to man prepared an hour before the Mold arrives.

	=== Responding ===		=== Responding ===
	As with other Head positions, a large part of your job is to be watchful for any calls for medical assistance. As soon as one comes in, make sure that your EMTs are responding and that the rest of your staff are ready to take in anybody who can't be treated in the field. It's also a good idea to ask for an [[Guide_to_robotics#Odysseus\|Odysseus]] from Robotics, preferably with two mounted Sleepers. Make sure that your EMTs know how to operate it; an Odysseus can save a lot of lives and make it possible for your EMTs to answer calls that they would normally be unable to due to its armour and internals.

Alternatively, order some MODsuits if they want to remain nimble and equally space-proof.
