MEDBAY CATCH-ALL | JANUARY

[bloodplay]

CHARACTERS: EVERYBODY. Are you working in the Medical department? Are you sick? Do you need shrapnel dug out of your arm? Are you going in for a check-up? Are you visiting someone? Are you grabbing some space tampons? Are you just here to bitch about how terrible the Medbay coffee is? Get in here.
LOCATION: the Medbay & its adjoining areas (gravity couches; locker room; morgue; SHOWERS? idk man whatever turns you on)
WARNINGS: Sick or injured people who may or may not be tripping off their medication? Also, whatever gross weirdos happen to be in Medbay at the time.
SUMMARY: It's a catchall Medbay post! For characters to interact within the setting of Medical and do whatever the hell they want, set during the entire span of vague, nebulous space January. That is really all there is to this.
NOTES: This is really just a general catchall post for things people might not want to set up separate logs for, plus an excuse for open log mingling shenanigans. If you want to specify when in the month things take place, feel free to put it in your subject line! The same goes for whether or not the thread is locked to certain characters.

Upon leaving stasis, just beyond the gravitation chamber, you'll find the open space of Medbay. This department is equipped to perform entirely independent of human involvement, but as time has passed you'll find that medical is now attended by your fellow passengers, operating on a series of shift rotations. Not unlike the other specialties, medical is equally susceptible to loss and appears consistently in need of volunteer assistance. Admittance to the bay at large is dependent upon security clearance. For example, all passengers will be able to access bandages, low level pain medication and the like, assistants will be able to access equipment to assess a patient's vitals, and doctors will have access to controlled substances and patient medical files.

Within medical there are numerous beds and consoles to monitor the status of patients who have been admitted. Due to advances in medical technology, passengers can expect that injuries and illness will heal at an accelerated rate. Breaks and fractures, for example, will recover within a fraction of the time that would typically be expected. Rows of cabinets contain all the necessities you would expect to find in a hospital facility. Alongside the basics there are also decontamination chambers, quarantine rooms, and surgical facilities. The entire area gives a distinct impression of cleanliness and sterilization, though on closer examination, given the handful of items that have gone missing, it looks as though someone left in a hurry...

[ Here for all the... general medical needs and potential CR?

John will be working well and working hard, and subsisting on terrible medbay coffee with a s little complaint about it as he can manage to let escape.

Typically working the night shift, but if he's honest, there isn't often a lot going on that he can contribute greatly to outside of his medical skills.

Available often and happy to lend a hand! Keeping busy is the best way to keep from going mad, or at least it has been for the majority of his life so far. ]

i hope this is okay?!

[ being stubborn and antisocial can help one power through many problems in life; a half-healed-and-rebroken ribcage is not one of those problems.

late at night, and kazama comes sulking into the medical bay -- looking around warily like a wild animal that's being herded into a cage. even discounting the way he has a hand gingerly pressed against his side, he looks a mess. there's a lovely, purple bruise coloring across his cheekbone and all the way down his shoulder, and he's trying not to limp as he takes a few more cautious steps into the med bay.

it's wary, almost nervous, near-silent, when he approaches the man working there and stops a fair distance away -- asking at a sudden, quiet deadpan, ]

-- you're a doctor?

[ probably startling the poor guy. ]
