Space Station 13/List of guides/Medicine is currently a work in progress page.

You WILL NOT edit parts of this page until they are properly finished.

	This is actually... helpful? You can read this for more info about the topic

This page, the Medical Masterclass, will cover any and all information regarding Healing in Sharty Station 13. This includes Medical Items, Damage Types, Wounds, Surgery, Revival and Brain Traumas. This does, however, NOT include chemistry, although certain chemicals will indeed be mentioned if applicable. In addition, the pathology systems will not be mentioned, although there may be disease mentions. The systems here are only applicable to humans. Simplemobs may be healed using manual medicine like sutures to heal any damage for each use. They do not simulate any more complicated medical systems.

Medicine

i <3 tables

Item	Healing	Wound healing	Where to Obtain	Notes
Suture	10 Brute	Decently heals pierce + cut	All around medical, basic medkits, medical vendors.. the brute baseline.	Since these are tiny, it is recommended to carry a stack (10) in your box for emergency healing.
Regenerative Mesh	10 Burn	Decently heals burns	All around medical, basic medkits, medical vendors.. the burn baseline.	Since these are tiny, it is recommended to carry a stack (15) in your box for emergency healing.
Medical Gauze	None	Stops wound progression temporarily/stops bleeding temporarily, splints	All around medical, basic medkits, medical vendors.. the bandage baseline.	Since these are tiny, it is recommended to carry a stack (12) in your box for emergency healing.
Improvized Gauze	None	Same as medical gauze, just worse	There is no reason to ever use these geg why care	Can be crafted with cloth. You can get cloth by cutting up bedsheets.. or regular gauze.
Emergency Suture	5 Brute	Heals Wounds and not much else	Emergency Medkits	You should probably just carry normal sutures around.
Bottom: emergency first-aid autoinjector. Top: epinephrine medipen.	Stabilises in crit by healing everything, especially oxygen	These contain clotting agents. The epinephrine epipen contains formaldehydrate, which stops bodies from experiencing organ rot. The emergency epipen contains Spaceacillin, which slows burn wounds from infecting (and viruses from progressing)	Every regular medkit, your bag's box, oxygen medkits, the emergency one from Emergency Medkits	Always get a new pen if you use yours!
Wound Analyzer	Hurts you if you use it in hand too much. Geg.	Speeds up the usage of medical items on wounds tremendously. Nophono ever uses this. But they should. Because it's OP.	Emergency medkits, miners get one in their box (even doe lavaland monsters dont wound geg)	PLEASE GRAB ONE THEY'RE TINY AND OP
Painkiller Pens	None. Well, you can make someone fall asleep if you hit em with enough morphine. Defensively, right? Right?	They stop pain, meaning you can run at full speed when hurt. Also let you do DIY bone healing.	Burn medkits, Brute Medkits, Basic Medkits	Nothingburgers
Left: aiuri patch, Right: libital patch	Brute and Burn Respectively	Heal over time, heal wounds, get removed if you're burnt or when they're done.	Brute/Burn medkits	Better than sutures because these heal the whole body due to being chemicals
Top: salicylic acid Bottom: oxandrolone	Brute and Burn respectively. Heal more the more injured you are.	Heal rapidly over a short time. Unsure if they heal wounds. Quick and useful!	Brute/Burn medkits	Objectively the best healing items you can get roundstart
Left: Hercuri, Right: Probital	Burn and Brute respectively. Gimmicky.	Hercuri cools down the body to a dangerous degree but it heals some burn. Great for walking through plasmafires or straight up murdering lizardpeople! Probital heals brute when you eat food. Eat the food before you do this.. and after, too!	Brute/Burn medkits	Rarely see use
Multiver	Toxin	Heals toxin better the more meds are in a person. Purges toxins. Deals a bit of lung damage if there are no other meds.	Toxin Treatment Medkits	You're just gonna use the pentetic pen anyways.
Syriniver	Toxin	Best known for overdosing. Inject only once every so often.	Toxin Treatment Medkits	Best known for once being the best organ damage overdose in the game.
Pentetic Acid	Toxin, Rads	Best known for being useless because you decided to use other meds in addition to it. MASSIVELY heals toxin and removes rads. Purges every chem.	Toxin Treatment Medkits	Also found in pill form in advanced medkits!
Potassium Iodine	Rads	Removes rad poisoning. That's it.	Toxin Treatment Medkits	Best known for having the easiest chemical recipe ever. Also, can't OD!
Disease State Analyzer	None	Lets you scan for diseases in people.That's it.	Toxin Treatment Medkits	Best known for being useless.
Convermol	Oxygen	Restores 2 oxygen per tick but deals 1 toxin per oxygen damage healed.	Oxygen Deprivation Treatment Medkits	Best known for being ignored
Salbutamol	Oxygen	Restores enough oxygen damage to not need to breathe. At all.	Oxygen Deprivation Treatment Medkits	Best known for being useful
Iron Pills	Bloodloss	Assist blood regeneration	Oxygen Deprivation Treatment Medkits, Emergency Medkits	Best known for not having an OD threshold.
Synthflesh Patch	Greatly heals Brute and Burn, deals Tox.	Amazing medicine. Usually found alongside the best tox medicine available.	Advanced Medkits	Objectively the best healing patch
Atropine	Greatly heals in Crit	Objectively better than Epinephrine in every single way. These pens also contain bloodclotting agents!	Advanced Medkits	Stacks with Epinephrine
TBD: get brute packs
Ointment	5 burn	The Unc version of regenerative meshes. Help to heal anything up to 2nd degree burns, afterwards.. somewhat less.	Emergency Medkits	Rarely see use

Exotic Medkits

These medkits can only be purchased in cargo.

I'm not telling you what they do or what they look like. Just examine their items. Just examine them.

There's just too many..

Damage Types

There are four primary kinds of damage: Brute, Burn, Toxin, and Suffocation.

These damage types have first aid kits associated with them and are therefore treatable without needing further medical equipment. The standard white-and-blue first aid kit has materials to treat Brute, Burn, and Bleeding. There are also additional kinds of damage that occur less often: Cellular, Organ damage/Brain damage, Wounds and Bleeding.

The overall health status (from 100% to -100%, yes, a human has 200 HP) is determined by adding the raw Brute, Burn, Toxin and Suffocation damages together. If there are 0 damages, the patient is perfectly healthy (100%). You may see this raw damage number on medical huds. Being perfectly healthy does NOT mean you are wound-free, but you are likely about to be either wound-free or no longer perfectly healthy.

Wounds

You can find emergency medkits in oxygen lockers which have injectors and tools that fix wounds far better than regular medicine!

Cut

Make you bleed, worse cuts bleed faster.

• Rough Abrasion: You can probably ignore it
• Open Laceration: Apply gauze to the limb to greatly staunch bleeding, sutures and cauteries (or anything that can light a cigarette) reduce bleeding directly, emergency medipens help clot all active cuts if you have several
• Weeping Avulsion: Lower your bleeding ASAP! Apply emergency medipen INSTANTLY and gauze, then apply sutures/cauterization as necessary until down to at least an Open Laceration, if not an Abrasion.

Pierce

Bleeds slower than slashes but doesn't clot, chance to lose some blood when hit again in this limb

• Minor Breakage: Not super important, sutures, gauze, or cautery will fix it
• Open Puncture: Apply gauze to the limb to greatly staunch bleeding, sutures and cauteries (or anything that can light a cigarette) reduce bleeding directly, emergency medipens help clot all active cuts if you have several
• Ruptured Cavity: Important to deal with, Repair Puncture surgery is quick and effective, as is just using a cautery, even if you take some burn damage from it.

Burn

Attacks deal more damage to this limb, Third Degree and Catastrophic Burns become infected. If you fail to stop an infection, you must take the Spaceacellin chem to slow/halt it temporarily, ts may be found in the medical chem vendor, or, if its too late, you may scroll down to the "amputation" part of the surgery guide.

• Second Degree: Just apply some ointment or regenerative mesh and wait a bit
• Third Degree: Debriding surgery takes care of both infections and flesh healing effectively, otherwise use more ointment/mesh along with some spaceacillin or a paramedic UV penlight
• Catastrophic Burns: Same as Third Degree, but with more urgency. Seriously this shit gets infected in like 5 minutes get a bandage INSTANTLY.

Bone

Cause interaction/movement slowdowns depending on the limb

• Joint Dislocation: Use a bonesetter or get someone to aggro-grab on the limb before help intenting said limb.
• Hairline Fracture: Get surgery, or apply bone gel followed by surgical tape to the limb and wait. Gauze can splint the wound to lower penalties.
• Compound Fracture: Same as hairline fracture, but both the surgery and gel/tape method take longer. Gauze splints will re-enable the limb until it can be healed

Chest fractures may additionally cause organ damage and head fractures may cause brain damage and temporary traumas, see fracture-derived traumas.

Internal Bleeding

nobody knows how this works sorry just take clot meds and take measures against bloodloss

Brain Traumas

This a collage of brain traumas in the game. Please note that having a brain trauma will result to you getting banned, as OOC in IC isn't permitted in our HRP++ slowburn A24 server's ruleset.

You can only naturally gain one Mild Trauma and one Severe/Special Trauma at the same time from brain damage. However, other sources of traumas ignore this restriction.

Severe

Severe Traumas require at least 100 brain damage before appearing, making them hard to get randomly. They are severely debilitating, and can range from mutism to complete paralysis.

They usually have the Severe Prefix which means they can be cured with brain surgery. Some have the meaner Deep-rooted Prefix, which requires a lobotomy. Some can be cured with a virus with the mind restoration symptom, with a high enough Resistance stat of course.

(You) need to follow these words.	looping thought pattern
Dyslexia	The patient is unable to read, write, or use electronic devices. (includes computers and tablets)	(You) have trouble reading and writing...	dyslexia

Special

Severe Traumas have a 20% chance of being Special Trauma instead, though many special traumas can't be acquired this way. Special Traumas grant the player special abilities, although generally with little to no control over them.

Unlike Severe Traumas, Special Traumas are usually basic traumas which are easily healed with Neurine. Since the player will usually also have at least one mild trauma as well, it means it's usually only possible to have both or none.

Can happen temporarily when nearly dead. This lets them see dead chat.	(You) feel dead inside.	chronic functional necrosis
Godwoken Syndrome	The patient occasionally and uncontrollably channels an eldritch god, sending a Voice of God message.	(You) feel a higher power inside (You)r mind...	god delusion
Imaginary Friend	The patient sees an imaginary person, who only they can hear. The friend has no limitation on movement, but cannot interact with the world and cannot go too far from its source. Essentially, split personalities if they were epic.	(You) feel in good company, for some reason.	partial schizophrenia

Tenacity	Patient is psychologically unaffected by pain and injuries, and can remain standing far longer than a normal person, effectively letting them move in soft crit.	(You) suddenly stop feeling pain.	traumatic neuropathy

Magic

These traumas only appear when Wizards cast the Curse of Madness ritual before heading to the station. There is a 20% chance that a person will have a Magical Trauma rather than a mild/severe/special trauma.

They are usually deep-rooted, which means the only way to rid a patient of them is to perform a lobotomy.

Unrelated side effects include intense paranoia and a feeling of being stalked.	(You) feel like something wants to kill (You)... It's coming closer...	Extra-sensory Paranoia

Prefixes

You can identify the level of cure needed to fix a brain trauma by scanning the patient with a health analyzer. Different level traumas have different prefixes. These prefixes can easily be confused with the different trauma categories on this page, but they are separate systems, which normally overlap since severe traumas usually have the severe prefix, and so on.

None

These traumas have no prefix on health analyser. Neurine, the chemical, will cure basic brain traumas.

Severe

You can identify severe brain traumas by the prefix "severe" on health analyser. Brain Surgery will cure severe traumas.

Deep Rooted

You can identify deep-rooted brain traumas by the prefix "deep-rooted" on health analyser. Lobotomy will cure deep-rooted brain traumas. Some viruses can cure these and lower level traumas.

Fracture-Derived

You can identify fracture-derived brain traumas by the prefix "fracture-derived" on the health analyser. These brain traumas are side effects of either a hairline fracture or a compound fracture dealt to the head. Repairing the fracture via the respective surgery procedure will also cure the trauma.

Permanent

You can identify permanent brain traumas by the prefix "permanent" on health analyser. Permanent brain traumas are either permanent or solely curable with magic, which is typically unavailable. A lobotomy causes these traumas. If you get one of these, then IT'S OVER.
