| |
| This policy serves to outline the OOC rules governing how you play medical roles on-station. The goal of this policy is to help set a basic minimum of conduct extending from the main server principles specific to how you play in medical as a department.
| |
| If interested in an in-character set of guidelines and considerations for positioning yourself in roleplay, instead refer to the Medical SOP - this policy is for administrative enforcement.
| |
|
| |
|
| == Basic Requirements ==
| |
| As a player, playing medical has the following requirements:
| |
| * Make at least some good-faith effort to play the role you signed up for when called upon if you aren’t taking on another role in the round. Otherwise, don’t take it.
| |
| * Don’t go out of your way to subvert other players’ ability to play the game in the roles they’ve chosen without first having given them a chance to play those roles.
| |
| * Comply with the basic standards for medical play laid out in this policy.
| |
|
| |
|
| Bad-faith failure to meet these requirements in a way violates the [[Server Rules|broader server principles]] may not only invite IC consequences but administrative action as well.
| | |
| | |
| Your exemption from these requirements extends as far as whatever you are doing is judged to be more broadly consistent with the [[Server Rules|server’s greater guiding principles]].
| |
| | |
| == Specific Roles ==
| |
| Specific jobs within the medical department have specific, interlocking responsibilities and rules which apply.

|
| Medical sites are defined as,
“Approved or pre-built spaces and facilities for providing medical care."
- These spaces and facilities must be approved by the Chief Medical Officer if not pre-mapped-in.
- Alterations to pre-built spaces and facilities must be approved by the Chief Medical Officer and should not be carried out without approval.
- This applies only to functional alterations meaning those which alter in some way the performance of medical work (i.e. adding/removing beds and computers.)
- In the instance of people joining the round late: the Chief Medical Officer's OOC power to approve alterations and sites only applies over those which did not have previous approval.
|
Revival may only take place outside of medical or a medical site under emergency conditions where transport to medical or a medical site is infeasible because they
- A) cannot be safely accessed for revival or
- B) cannot be transported to without undue risk of total loss of the patient
In medical or a medical site, revivals must first be deferred to Medical Doctors with adequate opportunity given for them to respond and attend to the revival.
|
Virology
This applies to anyone engaging with virology.
| Rule Dropdown
|
| Except with admin permission, only beneficial viruses may be produced and intentionally released. Consult the Guide to Virology before any engagement with this content.
|
| Non-contagious viruses (those with the ‘blood’ vector and no contagious symptoms like coughing/sneezing) should be looked at by at least one other person in medical (ideally the CMO or, in their absence, a virology-competent MD) or someone else familiar enough to evaluate them before release.
They should also be clearly-labeled (ex. with symptoms, cures, and slime-safeness.)
|
Airborne/touch-spread viruses are allowed, but they may only be released only under the following conditions.
- Only the Chief Medical Officer, Captain, or Acting Captain may approve the release of a contagious healing virus. You must secure and keep their approval before releasing it. The virus must not cause harm to specific races or groups if self-spreading.
|
Additional Notes
An unofficial set of IC guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures exists to help inform role-playing in and around medical. These are not binding and should be considered optional supplemental material.
