''"I wish you could understand what we're trying to do here. The potential for this species goes way beyond urban pacification. New alloys, new vaccines. Nothing like this we've ever seen on any world before."'' ―Dr. Wren, ''Alien Resurrection''

== Role ==
----
As the Medical Researcher it is your job to research and develop new technologies in the science lab and study anything xenobiological. The nature of the Researcher means the role is very open-ended, and can be played in several ways.

Ultimately, your job is to focused around analyzing chemicals, alien blood/liquids, storing alien corpses. Synthesizing experimental drugs and creating prototype explosive grenades. Furthermore you are fully qualified to assist the Medical staff with surgeries, should Medbay be overwhelmed in triage.

=Chemical Research: Pharmacology=
Research has its own chemistry lab that can be used to help out medical by pumping out useful healing chemicals. It is also possible to mix chemicals together to get multiple benefits; however, be aware that there are certain chemicals which will cause '''more harm''' if they are used together. Consult the [[Chemistry|chemistry guide]] for more details.

==Researching Chemicals==
As a medical researcher on-board the USS Almayer you're tasked with creating new medications that might be useful to the marines. But what can you do that the silly doctor in chemistry downstairs can not? Discovering completely new medications of course! Every round there will be new chemicals for you to discover. You'll even start with a note in your old lab coat pocket to get you started. Researching a new chemical requires two important tasks to be completed: discovering the recipe and the properties of the chemical. The latter requiring either thorough testing or sufficient data clearance. So what are you waiting for? It is time to do SCIENCE!

A lot of your work will require a resource called '''Research Credits'''. These can currently be earned by identifying new chemicals, or given to you by the Corporate Liaison (CL).

The Company has provided your laboratory with an ''Advanced X-Ray Fluorescence Scanner'' to help you identify chemicals. On your journey, you will be expected to use this and analyze research samples received from colonies. If you identify a valuable chemical, The Company's interest in your lab will increase. They might even pay USCM High Command.

|[[File:XRF.png|64px]]|| Advanced X-Ray Fluorescence Scanner || The A-XRF is an advanced spectrometer that can not only detect what a sample is, but also its chemical composition. It does this by nuking the sample with high energy radiation and detecting the emitted fluorescent x-ray patterns. By comparing this to the database it can identify the unique pattern of a sampled chemical, and the combination of chemicals that make the pattern possible. Although there might be chemicals which composition can't be fully identified. This means that you must acquire a sample of the unknown chemical first, and scan it with the XRF. Whenever the XRF scans something unknown, it will save that chemical's emission pattern to its database. '''Successfully identifying a chemical increases Company interests."

Samples are inserted using a vial filled with a pure chemical sample. After scanning, the XRF searches its database for any available information on the identified chemical. It is not actually able to figure out the properties of the chemical, that will require testing.

While the A-XRF can read data from the Company's private chemical database, your clearance level is limited and some information may be classified. Use the '''Research Data Terminal''' to purchase higher clearance or get a clearance grant by a corporate official. For example, the [[Corporate Liaison|Corporate Liaison]], however, their power to do this is limited by funding.
|-
|[[File:Chemical_Centrifuge.png|64px]]|| Chemical Centrifuge || The centrifuge is a research machine meant to assist working with the A-XRF and vial management. By using centrifugal forces it can separate chemicals from a beaker into a set of vials. To operate, insert any beaker with a mixture of chemicals and a vial box containing any amount of vials. The centrifuge will try to fill the vials with different chemicals from the beaker best possible. It will also label pure vials for you.

Additionally the centrifuge also accepts autoinjectors. To do this, load empty autoinjectors into a vial storage box and insert the box into the centrifuge. The centrifuge will recharge the autoinjectors.

The centrifuge operates under the following logic:
* Cycles through reagents in the input beaker starting from the top.
* Will fill pure vials containing the same reagent or an empty one. Purity of vials is first priority for the purpose of operating the A-XRF.
* Will ''not'' fill multiple vials with the same reagent. '''Unless the beaker only has a ''single'' reagent, then it will try to fill all as much as possible. This is useful for when filling autoinjectors.'''
* Will ''not'' transfer reagents from the input beaker if it is within an impure vial inside the box. Use this feature to make impure vials act as filters.
|-
|[[File:Turingdispenser.png|64px]]|| Turing Dispenser || This advanced dispenser is only available to researchers and allows for a level of automation in chem production. While it is relatively complicated to use, it can become a powerful tool in the right hands. Use it to automate the production of advanced research chemicals or complicated drug mixes.

The Turing Dispenser operates by following a set of instructions for what it should be dispensing. These instructions are provided by inserting a vial box, with the vial containing the amount of the chemical you want to dispense. The dispenser reads the vials in order from left to right. The dispenser will run until either: the output beaker is full, all program cycles has finished or a setting is changed while running.

Unlike the normal dispenser, the Turing Dispenser can directly dispense a wider range of chemicals. It can dispense any chemical the normal dispenser can with the exception of ethanol. In addition to any chemical available from the medical vendor with the exception of oxycodone. It can also directly dispense simple chemical compositions such as Sodium Chloride, Methane and Ammonia. Any other chemical requires the use of the ''Smartlink'' to be dispensed.

'''Programs'''
The Turing Dispenser has two programs: ''Box'' and ''Memory''. ''The Box Program'' is the currently inserted vial box, while ''The Memory Program'' is a Box Program that has been saved to the dispenser’s internal memory. The dispenser can run with just one of either program, or with both; in which case the Memory is run before the Box. This allows up to 12 dispensing steps to be configured (as each box can hold 6 vials).

'''Settings'''
* Program Multiplier: Multiplies the amount of the reagent that’s dispensed on each step. For example, a step with 20 water and a 3x multiplier will dispense 60 units of water.
* Program Cycles: How many times the full cycle of programs will be run before the dispenser goes to sleep.
* Autorun: If ON, then the dispenser will run the program automatically when both a vial box and a beaker is inserted.
* Smartlink: If ON, then the dispenser will check the nearby ''Smartfridge'' for the required chemicals before spending energy to dispense it. Additionally, this allows the dispenser to dispense ''exotic'' chemicals stored in the Smartfridge, making any recipe possible. If the required chemical can not be found and can not be dispensed using energy, then the dispenser will pause the program until the chemical is stored in the Smartfridge. Once available, the program will continue automatically. ''(Beware that, the dispenser will read the Smartfridge from top to bottom and use any beaker or bottle it finds containing the required chemical, even if that container is contaminated. This theoretically allows for more than 12 different chemicals to be dispensed in a cycle.)''
|-
|[[File:Researchterminal.png|64px]]|| Research Data Terminal || This terminal found inside the research study allows control of all research assets. It contains the database for all saved research documents, such as A-XRF scans and Synthesis reports. You can read the documents directly from the terminal, or print a copy. Additionally, the current status of research credits can be checked, and used for various functions. Any document can be added to the database by clicking it with a paper in hand.

'''Purchase Clearance'''
Upgrades the current clearance access by one level. Increasing the clearance level this way costs more the higher your clearance. The CL or a colonist (doctors, scientists and colony liasons) with database clearance can scan their ID card here to override the department's clearance levels for free, but limited by the amount of credits they have.

'''Transmit'''
If you want to pass on your science to the next generation of researchers, you can transmit your findings to the central research database of The Company. This way, other researchers may be able to continue your research, which may be useful if your duty ends early or if you become unable to continue your work for other reasons. But using this function is not free. The more positive properties there are in the chemical, the higher the cost of transmission, while a high number of properties and special rare properties also increase the cost. However, the cost is also lowered by neutral properties and twice as much by negative properties. ''What this function actually does is make the chem spawn in the next round, but with a new name and new recipe. It will also gain a new clearance access, depending on how high the transmission cost was.''

'''Publish'''
The CMO's data terminal has the special function of publishing documents. This allows anyone with a HealthMate HUD to view the document remotely. Any paper scanned in the research terminal can be published in this way, even handwritten ones. It is thus a useful method for the CMO to provide precise information to medics on new chemicals that are being distributed in the field, or any other useful documentation. Be sure to ask your CMO to publish your hard work, and for him to announce over medical comms that a new paper has been published.

|[[File:SynthesisSimulator.png|128px]]|| Synthesis Simulator || This computer uses advanced algorithms to perform simulations of reagent properties, for the purpose of calculating the synthesis required to make a new variant. It needs a complete data sheet from an A-XRF scan to function, meaning that all components and properties of the chemical must be known. All simulations requires research credits. Making a chemical ''better'' will result in the OD threshold decreasing by 5 units, while making it ''worse'' will instead increase it (some properties are considered neutral and does not affect the OD threshold). ''Mixing a chemical with another variant of itself will cause it to react back into its original form.''

'''Amplify'''
This function increases the level of the selected property by one. The credit cost increases based on the level of the property. Amplifying a negative property will increase the OD and vice versa.

'''Suppress'''
This function is the opposite of Amplify, meaning the level of the property is decreased. The credit cost for this function is always 2. Suppressing a positive property increases the OD threshold and vice versa.

'''Relate'''
The relate function makes it possible to change the actual properties of the chemical. To do this, an A-XRF analysis of a reference chemical must also be inserted. The target and reference property must be of the exact same level for relation to be possible, and the target must have more than one property. The credit cost is equal to the level of the targeted property.

==== '''Chemical Naming Conventions''' ====
When a chemical property is changed, the simulator will automatically label the chemical with a code telling you about the changes. The codes are three letter combinations followed by a number signifying the new level of the property.
|-
|}

==Properties==
This is a list of all chemical properties and their effects. They are sorted in the same categories as in the code. <POTENCY> is the level of the property.

The DISABLED rarity means this property can't appear in randomly generated chems. The same goes for ADMIN, with the addition that very few non event exclusive reagents have properties with this rarity level.

All effects are applied once per life tick. Life ticks happen once every two seconds.

===Hints===
Dealing with an unknown chemical is like walking blindfolded. The chemical can have any combination of good and bad properties. Discovering what these are will require testing and organized procedures. How to best approach this will be up to the individual researcher. But here's some things to keep in mind:
* You need 30 units of a chemical for the XRF to work. If you don't have enough, you might want to save it until you know the recipe. If you scan a chemical with the XRF you will know everything about the chemical's properties, given enough clearance.
* Negative properties can also be useful when used with the synthesis simulator to increase the OD threshold.
* Pay attention to research notes brought back from the colony. Colony notes can describe chemicals that are much stronger than the ones you can discover in the lab.
* Distributing a new chemical can still get you in trouble if you overlooked a really bad effect.
* If you can't rely on the marines to bring back research materials, you can try to kick-start your research by mutating plants in hydroponics.
* Your goal is not to get every single person a sample of your new drug, but to help as many as possible. Use the Turing Dispenser for mass production and persuade your superiors to assist with the distribution.

==Chemical Distribution==
While it might be fun to inject a monkey (or coworkers) with your wonder-drug, your ultimate goal should be to distribute it to where it is most needed. You should always seek the CMO's approval before performing mass distribution, because if an accident happens it will be ''your'' medical license that is threatened otherwise. Below are some suggestions to how to distribute your chemicals.

|-
|[[File:PillBottle.png|64px]]|| Pill bottle || The old classic, but also the slowest in terms of production and ingestion. It's an efficient way to store a lot of chemical volume, but that's the only upside, really.
|-
|[[File:Hypospray.png|64px]]|| Hypospray || An experimental high-end chemical injector, used for instant injections. Can be unlocked using a screwdriver, to allow the vial capsule to be ejected as a magazine. Pairing a hypospray with a vial pouch can be an excellent way for one person to distribute a series of research chemicals in the field.
|-
|[[File:Customautoinjector.png|64px]]|| Custom Autoinjector || If you have a lot of your experimental chemical on hand, then making custom autoinjectors is a good way to distribute it to the masses. A few boxes with empty autoinjectors can be found in your lab. You can fill a bunch of autoinjectors easily by loading them in a vial storage box and inserting it into the centrifuge for filling.
|-
|[[File:Acid_harness.png|64px]]|| ACID Harness || '''A'''utomated '''C'''hemical '''I'''ntegrated '''D'''elivery Harness. This is the most advanced form of chemical distribution available. Why rely on someone to know when your wonder-drug should be injected and then to actually do it, when you can leave all the work to a computer that does everything for you? The A.C.I.D. will monitor the vitals status for its user constantly, and depending on your configuration, automatically inject the chemical from an internal vial into the user. Additionally the A.C.I.D. will never overdose its user.

While the storage slots in the A.C.I.D. can technically be used for anything that would fit in the webbing, the A.C.I.D. specifically requires both a battery and a vial inside the storage slots in order to operate. A high capacity cell battery will last approximately 50 minutes.

A couple of harnesses will be available in the test lab, but if you need more then you can one by filling a black or brown vest webbing with the following items and then using a wirecutter on the webbing: hypospray, health analyzer, battery, radio, cables.

To configure the A.C.I.D. use a multitool / security access tuner on the webbing.

=Alien Research: Xenology=
The art of Xenology. Throughout the operation you will have the opportunity to conduct preliminary research on the Aliens. While this research is more esoteric in nature, providing technical data for the Marine Corps and the Company to use.

At its core, Xenology is accomplished by analyzing alien blood and other liquids, storing dead alien bodies in the research containers, and containing a live alien in the research pen.

===Xenology Blood Research===
Each alien will have two or more unique liquids/blood samples to collect. To analyze alienblood you will need a corpse, an empty beaker, and either a syringe or an IV Drip. After collecting the blood sample, you can place it into a Chemical Centrifuge to split up the different samples. Afterwards you can analyze the samples at the XRF Scanner.

==== Xeno Blood properties: ====
* Acidic Blood - Deals 3 burn damage.
* Dark Acidic Blood - Deals 6 burn bamage.
* Pheremone Plasma - Makes you high, '''fixes stuttering, confusion, blurry vision, drowsiness, dizziness, and jitteriness.'''
* Catecholamine Plasma - Deals 4 brute damage, '''makes you faster'''.
* Chitin Plasma - '''Prevents fractures.'''
* Neurotoxin Plasma - Deals 7 brain damage, deals 1 toxin damage, makes you jittery and hallucinate.
* Anti-Neurotoxin - '''Neuro-Shielding Level 1, Level 2 make marines immune to Queen spit.'''
* Purple Plasma - Deals 2 brute damage.
* Egg Plasma - Infects with Xeno larva, '''useful in research'''.
* Royal Plasma - Infects with Xeno larva, makes you addicted, deals 4 brute damage, makes you hallucinate, makes you high, makes you jittery, '''useful in research'''.

===Xenology Body and Live Specimen Study===
You will need the Marines' assistance in securing egg samples, To grow a Xeno, you will need a monkey in a containment cell and an egg, plant the Egg In the containment cell, then wait.

'''However'''

Making Xenos on their own is not useful and is actually be more of a detriment. This might stall the game out, and if the proper precautions were not taken, Xenos may even break out of containment. Not very good.

The better solution is making '''Corrupted Hive'''. These are friendly Xenos that can be used to help in combat and ship security.

==== Materials ====
* Clearance Level 3
* Egg plasma - extracted from Xeno eggs
* Royal plasma - extracted from an Empress OR can be made by mixing Egg Plasma and Dark Acidic Blood (extracted from a praetorian)

==== Let's Start Making Xenos ====
* Make sure you have Level 3 clearance.
* Scan or re-scan Royal Plasma.
* Change one unique property of Royal Plasma in the Synthesis Simulator called '''Cyphering'''. It will cost 10 points, make sure the receipt doesn't have Egg Plasma and Dark Acid Blood or it will just make basic Royal Plasma, so just change cheaper properties. Different levels of unique properties will make different Xeno hives. Level 2 - Corrupt, Level 3 - Alpha and etc.
* Make sure the monkey you are using is connected to a blood supply, such as an IV, as the monkey will lose a lot of blood in this process.
* Infect monkey with egg or Egg plasma.
* Inject 5 units of modified Royal Plasma, before larva hatches.
* Good work! This may take some time before the Corrupted Hive hatches so be patient. Do not try to speed up the process.

=Hydroponics Research=
<big>'''Note that hydroponics is currently undergoing a rework, much of the information here is subject to change.'''</big>

Hydroponics is the process of growing plants without soil. The Company has provided The USS Almayer's research wing with a hydroponics laboratory. Here, researchers can grow and experiment with plant genetics.

Gene labels are reordered and randomized each round, so identifying them requires some trial an error in figuring out which gene corresponds to what trait. Using the plant analyzer will be a great help during this. If you see a plant has a desired trait, try to extract one gene at a time from that plant and apply it to another. Once you see that the desired changes have occurred, you've identified the gene. '''A gene label represents the same trait across all plants'''.

It can kill the plant, change its properties or create an entirely new species. The plant might even start producing new chemicals. To mutate a plant, you need to put 60-120u of [[#mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] in the hydroponics tray that contains the plant you wish to mutate.

|style="border: 2px solid black; border-bottom: 2px solid black; padding: 5px;" | '''Keeping your plants alive ''' '''
|style="border: 2px solid black; border-bottom: 2px solid black; padding: 5px;" | Plants are living things and they can die of old age or if not taken care of. Make sure to remove pests and weeds. Some chemicals are beneficial and provides nutrients, while others can be toxic. If your plant is unhealthy, it might contain a lot of toxins, be weeded or contain pests. Providing your plants with water and nutrients will make them slowly heal.

''"If you insist. After my student years, despite the fact that I had become secretly addicted to morphine, I was considered to be most promising. A man with a future. Then during my first residency I did a thirty-six hour stretch on an ER. So I went out and I got more than a little drunk. Then I got called back. Boiler had blown on a fuel plant and there were thirty casualties. And eleven of them died. Not as a result of the accident but because I prescribed the wrong dosage of painkiller. And I got seven years in prison and my licence reduced to a 3C.''

''At least I got off the morphine." - Clemens, Alien³''

As the '''Squad Medic''', you are '''your squad's main source of first aid and battlefield triage'''. While Marines usually try to keep themselves out of harm's way, your actions will often decide who lives and dies that day. Wherever it is administering first aid, popping painkillers for a wounded comrade, performing a medevac, or even bringing someone back from the brink of death, you will often be the lifeline of your squad. Without you on your squad's side, only pain and death await.

'''As a Squad Medic, you will be placed under a lot of stress. Your entire squad, and often even the entire Marine force, will rely on you to stay in fighting condition and perform medical procedures correctly and rapidly. You will probably mess up your first few deployments, patients will die in your hands, casualties will overwhelm you, supplies will get misplaced or dropped, and hostiles will get the jump on you and eliminate you, but practice makes perfect. If needed, consult this guide and/or the forum guides linked below whenever you require and mentorhelp if any doubts arise, and remember that all Squad Medics started here.'''

''Remember to check out the [[Guide to Medicine]] for a more in-depth look on how the medicine you're administering actually works, and in case you're stumped by a casualty.''

== Duties of the Squad Medic ==

As the '''Squad Medic''', you are probably the one person that will be making sure people stay alive and healthy. Since [[Doctor]]s will be taking care of advanced medical procedures like surgery and advanced treatments, you will be on the field, taking care of wounds and casualties as they come in, sometimes quite literally. The patients that are evaced to shipside Medbay should be stabilized. By you.

Anything from Marines with minor wounds and pain, to dead people in need of emergency defibrillation will be directed to you, ideally, or more likely you will be summoned to them. While you might hope that wounds will be coming in steadily, with easily identifiable and isolated cases, odds are that battle will yield far more messy cases, requiring rapid and efficient analysis and treatment.

As such, you will need to learn to equip yourself properly for the mission, prepare your triage during pre-deployment and upon landing, triage wounds and casualties as they arrive or occur, and know when to send back to the fight, medevac, or simply give up on someone.
 

== Squad Medic Equipment ==

As the '''Squad Medic''', your loadout is perhaps one of the most decisive factors in wherever or not you will be able to keep the situation under control, or succumb more or less literally as the rest of your squad falls apart. While your work load will potentially be split with another Squad Medic, and all three other squads will be getting two Squad Medics, you should fully expect to carry your part. Rarely are there too many Medics on the field, especially once casualties take their toll.

After waking up from cryosleep and getting yourself some food, it's time to head into Preparation. Ignore the main part for now, and head into your special Medical Preparation Room. There, you will find all the supplies you will need.

There are only a few caveats to a Medic's loadout. Most of the time, it is determined by what one is the most comfortable handling with, in order to be as effective as one can be in the field. However, there is a simple directing line to your entire loadout. '''Your loadout must contain as many usable slots as possible, while allowing you to swap healing items in and out as rapidly and efficiently as possible, without cluttering your inventory and having to drop anything.'''

The second, albeit still obvious thing to know about your loadout is that '''you will still be carrying a weapon'''. Carrying a weapon means carrying ammunition for said weapon, because no conflict will be resolved with only one load of ammunition. As such, you have to juggle slots between your healing gear and your fighting gear. Combat Medic, as some say.

For now, go ahead and put on all the stuff in the locker. Now, here are some headers to simplify your first loadout :

* Choosing between a backpack and a satchel is your first important decision. A backpack is able to carry many more bulky items, such as advanced medical kits, stasis bags, folded roller beds or defibrillators. However, you must take off your backpack to go through it. A satchel is more portable and can be browsed on the fly, but might limit the number of bulky items you can carry. Though it is ultimately a preference thing, it is highly recommended you start out with a satchel unless you know what you're doing. Having to take off your backpack constantly can slow down your work massively, and the satchel is more than capable of allowing you to heal and revive marines very efficiently.

* Next, choose your belt item. The Lifesaver belt is the premier belt choice, and you cannot go wrong with picking it. The gray Medical Storage Rig is a viable alternative as well, however you will be severely limited in how much medicine you can carry in comparison to the Lifesaver belt. The main advantage of it is its ability to store defibrillators and roller beds, which the Lifesaver cannot. Added together with its ability to store pistol magazines and shotgun shell bundles, the Medical Storage Rig is best used when you can't (or won't) use a backpack/satchel.

* Now, we must decide what you will actually put in your backpack and belt. A recommended, simple loadout for the belt is one of every pill bottle, as the two belts already comes loaded with, plus autoinjectors of Oxycodone, Tricordazine and Dexalin Plus, as you won't find those in pill form. It is recommended you remove the Quick Clot pill bottle, as '''internal bleeding can be cured completely by overdosing a patient on Bicardine (no more than THREE pills at once), then administering a pill of Kelotane to counteract the harmful effects of Bicardine overdose.''' For the backpack or satchel, put at least two defibrillators and one roller bed in. Optionally, pack more first aid kits and stasis bags.

* Finish up your medical loadout. You will want a HF2 Health Analyser somewhere readily accessible at all times - try storing it in your webbing, your belt or backpack, experiment with which works the best for you. If you have extra space left over, it's a wise idea to place additional spare ammo in your armor slots.

* Next, you will actually need to start considering your weapon loadout. Each weapon can be wielded in two hands to have better accuracy, less recoil and the like, and can mount an angled grip to greatly reduce the delay before you can wield it.. This makes the M39 sub-machine gun, the M37A2 Pump Action Shotgun , and the M41A Pulse Rifle all equal and viable choices to take. The M39 sub-machine gun has increased move speed while wielding in two hands, the M41A Pulse Rifle has slower speed, higher damage and is more accurate. The M37A2 Pump Action Shotgun is brutally effective at close range with buckshot, and is a potent tool at range to stun with slugs.

* Having a gun is nice, but having spare ammunition is even better. Fill up whatever spare inventory slots you have left with spare ammo.

* It is usually not recommended to carry a sidearm, unless you really want to deploy without a main weapon. As a medic, you should be focusing on using weapons almost exclusively for self-defence, but you will assuredly not be able to put a dent in anything with a smartpistol, so stick with primary weapons unless you know what you're doing. You should also not weigh yourself down with flares, let the Privates light the way for you.

* One tactic to optimize backpack space is to empty first aid kits and fill them with more supplies. Do note however that medical kits can run out very quickly on the field, so balance it carefully.

* At this point, you may leave to join the Requisitions queue if you require extra attachments and non-medical gear and Briefing. Do not forget to visit the medbay chemistry station for the always useful custom chems, like ImiAlky and Iron. Check the guides linked down at the bottom of the page on suggestions which custom medicines to request from the doctors and how to best optimize your loadout.

== Squad Medic Tactics ==

As the '''Squad Medic''', your main goal during an operation is to stick with your squad and intervene should anyone get wounded. What sounds simple in theory can quickly become complicated as situations develop. Your squad might be assigned to a static FOB defense, told to scout, or it might even be sent straight into battle. You might be pushing ahead in enemy territory, holding a defensive line steadfast, or you might suddenly find your teammates routing.

In all cases, you will always want to operate in the back line, rather than dance around your squad mates as they unload into the enemy. While casualties will probably be happening in the frontlines, your teammates should hopefully use any lull in the fighting to bring them back for healing, or assuming that they can still stand and walk, they will be bringing themselves back.

Depending on how mobile the fighting is, you might have the opportunity to settle down and create a small medevac zone for frontline combatants. In the best of cases, this area will also be barricaded and defended adequately, and in extreme cases you might even have medical gear and vendors on-site. This is the rather ideal scenario of a FOB Medic. Should you be in this situation, take advantage of it to heal safely and efficiently, and hope the battle keeps progressing the right way. Keep your eyes open for any backline harrasers trying to get in and kill you, and ask a squad engineer or a synthetic to salvage and repair a medical vendor from the colony's medbay.

However, more often than not your squad will insist on pushing forwards, or more worryingly, backwards, sometimes at a moment's notice. As such, it is important that you find a secure area to practice your medicine. Also, remember that all the healing in the world means nothing if the patient doesn't make it out. Being a Doctor for a mobile front will try your patience, and more often than not combatants that are wounded to the point where they can't stand will need to be hurried back to the nearest FOB, after some first aid.

If you find yourself lost, or within the presence of another squad, don't hesitate to stick with them and help out. Assuming that they still have their own Squad Medics, you will probably want to find and assist your squad again, but don't put yourself in extreme danger trying to run back to your squad alone.

As a Squad Medic, you can fight, although it is frankly not desirable for you to head to the frontlines. There are probably many more Privates eager to take your spot and unload their modded rifles at the enemy, while you could be treating people. However, if you are attacked in the backline, don't hesitate to pull your gun and answer on the spot. More often than not, you will be killed if no-one else can assist immediately and you don't react in time. Help yourself and others will help you.

== Common Field Triage Procedure ==

Triage is the last and most important topic for a Squad Medic to master. You might have the gear, you might be deployed with your squad, and you might have managed to extract a casualty to a safe location to begin treatment, but if you stand helpless in front of it and fail to execute proper procedure, that will all have been for nothing.

The actual triage procedure is long and thorough, but it can easily be compressed as cases are ruled out. The only cases that can be thrown out of the spot are deceased, unrevivable teammates. They are gone, that is all.

In an emergency, you may medevac anyone who is too wounded to receive treatment, especially if other casualties are piling up. Stasis bags can also be used to delay treatment on serious wounds. Medevacs are very slow or could even be unreachable most of the time, so avoid medevacing marines unless you have no form of healing their ailment - this includes first and foremost patients with larval infection, dead and heartbroken patients and massive overdose cases. Use your judgement and use stasis bags sparingly.

Dead patients that can still be defibrillated are an urgent case. From the last point of death, you only have a few minutes before they permanently pass away. If you were brought such a patient, he may have died a mere dozen seconds ago, or a few precious minutes might have already been spent recovering him, as such, it's critical to be rapid and minimize the time before first shock, at least to renew the patient's death timer before it is too late.

Triage procedure usually goes as follow:

* If the patient is currently stationed in or very close to a hazard, such as active fighting, a fire, a pool of acid, danger close to artillery or CAS strike, or some other form of imminent and obvious danger, immediately interrupt treatment until danger has passed or patient has been moved to a safe location.

* Identify the teammate in distress, probably via their health readout on HUD being at yellow or lower, or them actively calling out for you. Use the health analyzer to identify what is wrong with them.

* If the patient is deceased but can still be defibrillated ('''green''' heart rate icon on HUD, instead of skull), apply defibrillation procedure below. If patient is permanently deceased (skull icon on medical HUD) or Do Not Revive ('''red''' flatline icon on medical HUD), ignore, signify that the patient is a goner if other Marines insist. They may not know their comrade is unrevivable. If the heart rate icon on the medical HUD is '''orange''', revive them '''ASAP''', they have less than a minute before permanently dying.

** Drag the patient to a safe spot, apply health analyzer and evaluate situation. If the patient is under 200 combined brute, burn and toxin damage, he will probably be revived on the first or second shock. Otherwise, he will need special treatment.

** Take out your defibrillator and take out the pads. Remove the armor on the patient, leave the uniform on. If patient is under 200 damage, immediately apply pads, repeat at least three times, or until the patient is revived, then go back to normal triage procedures.

** If a patient is over 200 damage, rapidly pull out advanced kits and try to apply as many as possible to lower damage amounts and if possible, apply Epinephrine. Once done, apply defibrillator up until damage is under 200, plus one application for safety. Note that while the patient is dead, the effect of further chemicals will not be consumed by his organism with the exception of Epinephrine, therefore giving the patient chemicals to lower his brute / burn damage, will not work while they are still dead. It is still useful to administer said meds into them before reviving them (IF you have enough time) in order to let said chemicals start working as soon as the patient is revived and to further reduce the patient's recovery time.

* '''Check for any medicines that have already been administered to the patient, notably Tramadol, Tricordazine and Quick Clot. Do not give a new dose until they run out to prevent overdoses. Most medicines overdose at 30 units and are usually always extremely damaging or even lethal so if a patient has 15 units already in their blood, don't give them any more. An exception to this is quick clot. It ODs at 15 units so don't inject the patient with it if they have 5 units or more.'''

* If the patient is in critical health, and especially near death, immediately administer a shot of Dexalin Plus, followed by an inaprovaline pill to stabilize the patient as quickly as possible. Then, proceed to heal the patient as normal.

* If the patient has internal bleeding, administer 3 doses of bicardine until the patient is overdosed on it (patient should have at least 30 units and no more than 50 units of bicardine in their system), then administer a single pill of Kelotane to prevent your patient from suffering burn damage as a result from the Bicardine overdose. If the patient has lost a large amount of blood in general, administer them a single pill of Iron (Obtainable only from Medbay doctors, optimally containing 15 units per pill.), then feed them food if you have any to spare (or take their MRE) to speed up blood recovery.

* If the patient is suffering from major blood loss symptoms (heavy oxygen and toxin damage), administer Dexalin or Dexalin Plus after doing the above. If the patient is not actually missing blood on the health scanner readout, it is almost certainly internal organ damage, administer Peridaxon. Peridaxon doses need to be renewed every few minutes to prevent further internal organ damage. '''Patient will need to medevac in the event of heavy internal organ damage, especially serious lung or heart damage, as both will have a near-instantenous, fatal effect on the marine the moment Peridaxon wears off.'''

* If the patient has bleeding limbs, patch them as rapidly as possible using advanced trauma kits. Remember that you can use the numpad on your keyboard to quickly aim at specific bodyparts.

* If the patient has massive amounts of brute and burn damage, locate limbs with particularly heavy damage on your health scan and patch them up using the appropriate advanced medical kit. Additionally, administer Bicaridine for Brute damage, and Kelotane or Dermaline for Burn damage. If available, Tricordazine can be administered for both types of damage.

* If the patient is suffering from major toxin damage, check for chemical OD. If the overdose is severe, stasis bag them and medevac them for a dyalysis at the Alamyer medbay. If not, administer Dylovene. Alternatively, add a dose of Peridaxon as well if the patient is not overdosed, as toxin damage buildup is often tied to liver and kidney damage.

* If the patient has minor to medium brute or burn damage, administer kits to any untreated limb, plus one pill matching the damage type.

* If the scanner reveals fractures with an identifiable location, or a fracture is indicated while one limb very clearly centralizes most or all of the brute damage on the body, apply a splint to the location. Additionally, patient may indicate correct limb if conscious. '''Patients may need to medevac in the event of a bone fracture, though this depends on the area it has occurred in, an arm or hand broken but splinted can be left to the patients discretion on when they want to evac. Splints will easily be torn and broken in any additional fighting, limiting combat effectiveness.'''

* If the patient is unconscious, unable to get up, stutters or complains of pain, and his health is above critical, administer a pill of Tramadol, or a shot of Oxycodone. Both may be administered without causing issues.

* If the patient is missing a limb, make sure they're aware. '''Patient will need to medevac in the event of a missing limb. A combat ready Marine needs two arms, two hands, two legs and two feet.'''

* If the patient has small amount of oxygen damage, check blood levels. If blood levels are near full, administer Dexalin or Peridaxon. This is probably minor heart damage. This should not require a medevac, especially if oxygen damage does not exceed 22 points.

== Squad Medic Tips and Tricks ==

* '''Nobody is perfect. You don't have to perform at peak efficiency. Go at your own pace and have fun. Being a Squad Medic should never feel like a chore you're obligated to do. Depending on your mood, it can be a challenge, or an assistance to your team, but never let other people drag you down for failing a difficult rescue or getting overwhelmed when triaging'''

* '''Remember that you can restock your autoinjectors, so don't just throw them away. Put them back into your belt instead, they can be refilled at the vendors - just drag and drop them onto it, then vend them again. If they are FULLY empty, you may also refill them by simply left clicking the vendor with injector in hand on Help intent.'''

* Though they can be used for it, avoid using stasis bags for marines with internal bleeding or those who are just generally wounded and in crit or pain crit. The only two situations where you can never go wrong with using stasis bags are for slowing larval growth and severe overdose cases. Use your judgement - your fellow marines don't appreciate being stuck inside a stasis bag they can't get out of in case of emergency unless they absolutely need to.

* If you can't remember on the fly which pill bottle is which, SHIFT+Click to examine them, even while they are in your belt or other containers.

* You can remove very small bits of shrapnel from others with a knife. You must click them with it in your hand on help intent in order to remove the shrapnel. (Note: this only works when you have help intent safety toggled on.)

* If you feel like your life is at risk, or you need to medevac and the way back to the FOB is not secure, ask a fellow squad member or two to protect you. More often than not, they will agree.

* Macros can help make your life easier. You can give items to marines by clicking them with the middle mouse button with item in your hand. A macro like pull roller-bed can help speed up patient transport and recovery.

* Stacking different medicines with the same effect will help you heal marines even faster. Bicardine is commonly stacked with Tricordrazine to heal brute damage as TriBica pills. Kelotane is stacked with Dermaline to heal burn damage rapidly as KeloDerm pills. Tricordazine heals burn and toxin damage as well, and can stack with Kelotane, Dermaline and Dylovene respectively.

* After activating your defibrillator on a dead marine, you can freely switch your active hand, drop the defibrillator or even place it back into your satchel without interrupting the defibrillation. Use this time to administer pills and splints (Or even begin treating another patient, if you have multiple dead marines at your feet).

* If you find a Marine with relatively minor damage coming to get your help, avoid administering pills. Instead, patch their wounds with kits. If they insist, give or administer them (left click them on Help intent with pill in hand to feed them it!) a Tramadol pill to suck on while they heal up.

* When in doubt, Tramadol always works. Don't hesitate to hand those out, even a bit of burn damage can end up causing a person to be near pain crit.

* If a Marine dies after a successful defibrillation attempt, their death timer will be fully reset. Use this time to fix them up further and prepare another shock, or to move them for medevac if necessary.

* Open, bleeding wounds cause bloodloss. Though many squad marines usually pack some basic bandages with them, applying advanced trauma kits to them is a significantly more effective option, as it won't just stop bleeding like a bandage, but heal some of the damage as well. Small-to-medium amounts of oxygen damage are characteristical of bloodloss, which your health analyzer will warn you about. Administer a dose of Iron to the marine or remind them to eat some food.

* Always make sure to pull revivable Marines out of harms way and danger close. Most casualties happen around the front lines or when the FOB is under heavy attack. Try to avoid administering life-saving treatments and defibrilation too close around the front of combat, you make yourself an easy target for enemies. Pull them behind your squad mates and/or into a secure barricaded area before tending to them! Don't forget to use your roller beds!

== Med-Evacs ==
'''Important: a Med-Evac does not necessarily mean having to winch up a patient all the way to the Almayer medbay via the medevac stretcher. More often than not, there is an able and willing doctor who will deploy to the FOB and be available for field surgery. This is perfectly safe to do and is just as effective as regular medbay surgery, so always make sure to ask if there is a deployed field surgeon before considering doing this.'''

To accomplish a successful med-evac of an injured marine you'll need the med-evac stretcher and a willing Pilot Officer, after you have found both of these you can start with the below steps:

'''Note that a marine cannot be med-evaced from in places where ceilings are metal or underground, it has to either be outside or in places where there are glass ceilings.''' (Examine the tile to look at the ceilings)
*Deploy the medical stretcher ([[File:Med_Evac_Stretcher.png|32px]]) and strap in the injured marine.
*Right click the stretcher and select "Activate Medevac" then wait.
*Inform the Pilot over either the medical radio or your squad radio that the medevac is ready to go.
*If everything is successful the pilot will have winched up the injured marine and you can collect the stretcher (click and drag it onto yourself to pick it up) and go back to treating more wounded.
