  Paramedic |
Access: Medbay, Morgue, Cloning Lab, Maintenance, E.V.A., Most department lobbies, Mineral Storage Additional Access: Genetics Lab, Surgery Difficulty: Easy Supervisors: Chief Medical Officer Duties: Run around the station looking for patients, respond to emergencies, give patients a roller bed ride to medbay Guides: Guide to medicine, Guide to Traumas Quote: I swear, the next schmuck that gets spaced without suit sensors is staying there. |
You are essentially a rescue medic. You spend most of your time outside medbay and therefore have reduced access. However you have increased access to the rest of the station.
You spawn with a 
Medical Belt full of stuff, a collapsed 
Roller Bed and a Proximity Crew Pinpointer in Medbay Lobby.
You will most likely want to get the Handheld Crew Monitor from your belt, a better Crew Pinpointer from one of the NanoMed Plus vending machines, a Health Scanner HUD and a Health Analyzer. After gearing up, go patrol the station looking for patients.
Bare minimum requirements: Find and bring injured crew members to Medbay so they can be treated by the doctors.
Basic skills: Enforce suit sensors, perform first aid, don't drag bleeding people over the halls.
Advanced skills: Be able to do deal with all kinds of damage on the spot, know how to use a defibrillator, be efficient at healing more with less, rescue people from faraway places.
Medbay to bar, quick!
When you are a Paramedic, your job is to rescue people, take them to medbay, and leave them to be treated there. You can also perform first aid, diagnosing injuries and diseases with the help of a 
health analyzer, printable from the medical techfab, or even your PDA.
Most of the times, your Handheld Crew Monitor will tell you enough. At least as long as people have their suit sensors on. Keep the monitor screen on and put it in your pocket or jacket slot, it's extremely useful. When someone shows up as damaged, find them with your pinpointer and either suggest them to go to medbay or take them there.
The job is very simple. Find and transport people safely to medbay. But even that can prove challenging under certain hostile scenarios, so be prepared.
As a first step towards becoming a good Paramedic, you are recommended to read the Guide to medicine. You will learn how to treat many different ailments.
Medical Storage
The main reason you'll come into this room is to grab one of the 
Health Scanners on the table. These totally not anime inspired eyewear pieces let you see people's healthbars over their head. Not only is this useful for finding critical patients quickly in a crowd, but the red cross next to their healthbar will change to a sickly face if they're infected with a virus, or a purple xenomorph if they're infected with an alien larva. Chemists, Geneticists and many others will sometimes want these, too.
You might want to also buy a better pinpointer from the NanoMed Plus and a Health Scanner. You can find biosuits for when the virologist fucks up. There are also spare first-aid kits that are very disputed, so try to be mindful when you take them and perhaps even warn your boss.
Advanced Paramedic Work
Giving drunk bar patrons roller bed rides not your style? Want to be a hero? Well, you probably won't, but you certainly can do more.
Never forget that you have Maintenance and E.V.A. for a reason: You are expected to retrieve lost bodies. Engineering blew up again? Get your spacesuit and bring the boys back home so they can fix their own mess. Space man HoP forgot to refill his oxygen tank? Off you go. In some cases, you can even go in your own little lavaland adventure to retrieve a miner's corpse.
With you around, nobody has to stay dead!
The emergency utility belt
Once you get used to standard medical procedures, you can stuff a second belt full of things that allow you to get people up and running by yourself.
Libital Patches. These allow you to cheaply heal brute wounds, but deals a bit of liver damage.
Trophazole Pills. These are even cheaper than Libital, but need the patient to have eaten. Good for bar fights. Usually left in the bag or not taken.
Salicyclic Acid Medipens. Exceptional for healing a lot of brute damage quick, but scarce. Save for emergencies or leave them there.
Aiuri Patches. These allow you to cheaply heal burns, but deals a bit of eye damage.
Rhigoxane Spray. Cools down temperature and treats burns slowly. Expendable and abundant. Spray away the tide when they fail their hacks and ask for help.- Oxandrolone Medipens. Exceptional for healing a lot of burn damage quick, but scarce. Save for emergencies or leave them there.
- Pentetic Acid Medipens. Exceptional for healing a moderate toxin damage quick and to remove a lot of radiation, but scarce. Save for emergencies or leave them there.
- Salbutamol Medipens. Exceptional for healing a lot of oxygen damage quick, but scarce. Save for emergencies or leave them there.
In the end, it should be looking somewhat like this:
Clear!
If a patient has died recently, you may be able to use the defibrillator to revive them on the spot. The defibrillator can be found in Medical Doctor lockers (plus a more portable version in the CMO's locker or medical techfab after some research is done).
To use a normal bulky defibrillator, take off your backpack or satchel, put the defib on your back and click it, get your other hand free and activate the paddles to wield them in both hands, then click on the patient while targeting their chest. If the patient is wearing a thick suit like a space suit or firesuit you need to strip it off as well. STOP DRAGGING the patient, if you are, to prevent yourself from being shocked as well.
In order to successfully resuscitate a patient, several criteria must be met:
1. The patient must not have over 180 brute or burn damage; 179 brute and 179 burn is fine, just not 180 of one type. Reduce their damage below 180, and you can try again.
2. The patient must not be a suicide.
3. The patient must not be catatonic.
4. The patient must be in their body (they will get a message when they begin being defibrillated).
5. The patient must have a heart. Plasmamen do not have hearts, for example.
6. If the patient has a heart, it must not have decayed completely. If there's too much heart decay, you'll need to replace it or perform a coronary bypass.
If all these factors are met, then the patient will come back to life! However, this doesn't mean they can just get right back up. Instead, they'll likely still be deep in critical condition, as a successful revival only removes a bit of each damage type. They must quickly receive medical attention if you want to keep them alive. Make sure to use a health analyzer or your PDA to check how they died; if they have harmful chemicals in their body, they most likely still do (chemicals remain in bodies after death, but do not metabolize).
Alternatively, you can disable the safeties on defibrillators in two ways: emagging it or having it be hit by any form of EMP (you can re-enable safety by doing the same thing again). The emag does it silently, but the EMP makes the defibrillator emit a warning sound. When the safeties are off, help intent functions normally, but harm intent will instantly stun the victim for the duration of a stun baton as well as doing a large amount of stamina damage.
Paramedic Equipment
Medbay has quite the collection of tools and chemicals to make your job easier (or harder). Some deserve the mention, others are situational.
Here is a list of stuff that either Paramedics spawn with, or are available in medbay:
Compact Defibrillator. The only way to defib on the go. Needs research or a lot of begging to the CMO.- Crew Pinpointers. The one that you spawn with only activates close to whoever you're tracking. You can, however, buy a proper Crew Pinpointer in the Nanomed Plus vending machine with your starting money.
E.V.A. Helmet and Suit. These two form, together, a spacesuit. They will only work together or coupled with an analogous spaceproof clothing. Don't rush E.V.A. and steal everything. Do it only if needed.- Handheld Crew Monitors. Arguably the most useful item you can hope to have. Using the information from suit sensors, it will give you all you need to know anywhere. Allows you to chill by the bar without much care.
Health Analyzers. Allow you to check someone's condition further than the Crew Monitor, showing diseases, traumas and chemicals in their blood (activate the item to toggle Chemical mode). An advanced version can be researched and printed at the medical techfab.- Health Scanners. Immediate visual information for any living mob in your field of view. Not as robust as a proper Health Analyzer, but will help you quickly identify problems on passersby. A night vision upgrade is researchable.
- Medical Belt. Extremely useful, as it can hold most relevant tools and medicine. Can also hold cigarettes and lighters. The one you spawn with has a Handheld Crew Monitor and some less important medicine that you can right click to check their use. Fits in your bag.
Nitrile Gloves. Keep your fingerprints to yourself. The Detective will thank you for keeping those on.- Roller Beds. Dragging bleeding people will make them bleed even more, as well as making you slower. These are often helpful and sometimes vital. Also fun and collapsible.
Tips
- The bar has several drinks that help top off damage. Cream for brute, Lime Juice for toxin, Orange Juice for oxygen, Tomato Juice for burn, Blood Mary for blood and more.
- Raw carrots heal eye damage.
- Star-Kist is just cola with orange juice. Thus will metabolize a bit faster and can be used as a very poor man's medicine to speed up CPR.
- Wearing earmuffs will heal ear damage.
- Wearing a blindfold will heal eye damage.
- People with hardsuits on cannot be defibbed.
- If you're not sure if someone's damage is too much, you can PDA them to ask if they need medical assistance.
Tips for Traitoring
- A stethoscope can be used to break into the safe.
- You can replace the cryoxadone with acid, so instead of healing people cryo will melt them to death.
- Syringe gun is one of the most lethal weapons on the station. A simple 15 unit lexorin syringe will kill unless the victim receives medical care. Anyone with a thick suit will block syringes though.
- Carry a body in your roller bed and you won't get questioned too often. Use maintenance for safety.
Don't worry, I'll take you to a better place
You happen to be traitor? Excellent! You have enough access to tamper with bodies and cloning, access to EVA for some space murder action and maintenance access to boot! Not to mention that you can enter most departments and people won't find strange that you're wandering the halls. You can do almost anything a regular medic could: cryo sabotage, cloning sabotage, morgue shenanigans, overdoses, etc. But with access and freedom you can do a lot more as well, like poisoning someone, taking them to the safety of maintenance to finish the job, then either leaving them at the morgue or leaving only their body there and taking the head to somewhere far in space.
To Conclude
You are a rescuer. Your job is to rescue people through any sort of violent calamities that inevitably descend on the station and get them to safe medical care. You serve as a facilitator to the doctors and patients.
You can have a calm shift with this job, but you can also have the most hectic back and forth shifts running and dodging all sorts of danger. Be prepared, because no one else will.
