Introduction

The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) is responsible for the overall health of ALL staff on the USS Almayer. That means you should be in medical at all times, ensuring patients get treated so they can go out to get hurt again. Your job also includes overseeing the research department, which is usually some researcher working on... Nothing!

You also have some limited authority over the Combat Medics, as you have absolute say (except if the Commanding Officer, XO or aCO overrules you) over all medical procedures on and off of the Almayer.

Upon mission start you'll find yourself in the medical department in the centre of the ship. Report for duty on the command channel (:v) and then ask for the medical personnel to report in on the medical channel (:m) so you can gauge your workforce and effectively distribute them tasks.

Communication

When playing as the CMO you'll want to keep in contact with the medics (Note that they can get a medical radio key for their headset so they should have access to the medical channel) asking if they require any medical supplies. Make sure the pilots or medics are telling you when wounded are coming up (as the medevac system can bring back two wounded every few minutes and they can come up on the alamo) so you can have a doctor on standby in the Hangar to intercept and quickly get injured to the Medical Bay for efficient treatment. If you find that the operating theatres and autodoc aren't enough and that you need to conduct more surgeries, then you can ask Requisitions to order you a surgery crate and conduct your surgery on a field surgical bed.
