Medical Department Handbook

The Medical Department keeps personnel alive and fit for duty, examines subjects before and after tests, and manages exposure to anomalies.

1. Ranks

The Clearance column is the Site Clearance a rank usually holds at the member's posting. It is granted by that site's Director and does not carry to other sites or to Site-01 (Directive 001).

2. Duties

1. Treat injured personnel, whatever their department, clearance or faction.
2. Examine Class-D personnel and other subjects before and after every test.
3. Quarantine anyone exposed to an anomaly until a Senior Doctor clears them.
4. Attend every test the Scientific Department marks as a risk to health.

3. Triage

1. Treat in order of need, not rank.
2. Tag each patient: immediate, urgent, delayed or minor.
3. During an Orange or Red alarm, set up a casualty point at the edge of the sealed zone and wait for Security to clear the way before going in.

4. Quarantine

1. Anyone exposed to an anomalous effect goes to quarantine at once, even without symptoms. Quarantine is a medical status, not a class: they keep their class until cleared (Directive 001).
2. A Senior Doctor examines them and decides when they leave.
3. Quarantine is Level 3. Visitors need a Senior Doctor's permission.

5. Amnestics

1. Amnestics remove memories of anomalous events. They are given only on the written order of a Site Director, or of a Senior Doctor when a member's safety depends on it.
2. Record every dose: who, what class, why, and who ordered it.
3. In roleplay, a character given amnestics forgets only what the order covers, and the player agrees to it under the Roleplay Rules.

6. What the department writes

Medical reports (Doctor and above), incident reports when Medical is the senior department present, and posts. Reviews and approvals follow Foundation Directive 003.

7. Joining

Apply on Form A-01. A Senior Doctor reviews the application and runs an induction: triage, quarantine and the Medical Bay. You start as a Medic.
