Report straight away to Medical.

Your job is to ensure you don't accidently kill people, to ask a billion questions on Medical Radio and to learn how to professionally assist your patients. Learn which Medicine is most used and which is used in which scenario. Learn which tools you should carry with you. Learn that your PDA can be used as a Health Analyser. Learn how to work with Hydroponics to ensure the Chemists get the materials they need. Ensure that any requests you don't know how to cater for are forwarded to your supervisors. Learn that the dead don't stay dead and how to get those dead slackers back on their feet and back to work. Stay out of the way of a Paramedic as they rush around the station collecting the sick and dead.

You may not get access to the Chemistry Lab as an Intern however if you've covered off the basics of Medicine Administration, you can ask the Chief Medical Officer nicely for an intro to Chemistry.

Whilst as an Intern you do need to follow instructions from your superiors, ensure that you also follow Space Law and common sense otherwise you may unwittingly be helping an Antagonist.

Starter Tasks

As an intern, if you find your questions ignored, you can still help Medbay by:

• Listen to the Radio
• Watch the Doctors when they treat patients (what are they holding, what do they interact with, what do they say, what do they prioritise)
• Look at the Chemicals that the Chemists produce (what are the common ones there each shift? are they labelled? if unlabelled in a meaningful manner, ask the Chemists what they do)
• If you see a patient gasping for air and no doctor nearby, inject them with your epipen (in your Medical Belt) and drag them onto a Medical Bed. Raise it with the Medical Team if you are unsure how to treat the patient.
• If you see a patient asking for treatment, analyse them with your PDA and tell them what damage types they are affected by and where the Chemicals are stockpiled.
