Adrenaline Syringe: 20
Self-explanatory
Chemical Body Warmer: 20
A small plastic pouch of crystallized chemical compound that, when agitated, warms enough to keep a body warm for a four-hour period. Helps with hypothermic patients.
Dermal Mender:
Another fancy medical innovation, this is for those who don’t like stitches and can pay to avoid scarring. Through a combination of regenerative stimulation and the application of artificial skin, the dermal mender can close almost any wound in a matter of minutes. Unfortunately, while the mender works well for tissue bond (don’t fiddle with it and it should be good as new in a few days), the dermal mender can’t fix bone, cartilage, or organs. It’ll patch up your skin (and maybe even help put an ear or a nose back on, at least partially), but that’s it. After surgery, the dermal mender can close the incision and prevent infection.
Doctor's Bag (MedAcad): 1
A doctor who graduates from one of the major Medical Academies (on Osiris, Londinum, or Sihnon) will almost certainly have one of these. Technically, they are available to any licensed practitioner in the Core (as are most medical supplies, if the buyer can pay), but that means that the person much have attended one of the major MedAcads or has his training certified by one, which is no mean feat. These more advanced doctor’s kits include the best in portable instrumentation, the latest in commonly needed medicines (though in small amounts), and so forth
Drug, Antibiotics: 20
Used to treat bacterial infections
Drug, Anti-psychotic (Sedative): 20
A quick-acting, pharmaceutical-grade hypnotic sedative, used in Alliance hospitals to quell psychotic reactions. Dalcium is one of the most commonly prescribed brands. A dose of antipsychotic medication lasts for up to four hours, though prolonged usage must be monitored and the dosage regularly adjusted (tolerance builds up quickly). More’n two doses in a 24-hour period may lead to serious medical issues, such as a stroke.
Drug, Antiviral: 20
Used to treat viral infections
Drug, Broad-Spectrum Antidote: 20
A general-purpose antidote for a broad range of ingested toxins or other diseases. There’re a thousand-plenty things you might inadvertently swallow that could kill you, far too many to be carrying around antidotes for each one. There’re even more diseases making the round, nasty little stowaways from the Earth-That-Was that made their way in the ‘Verse and survived terraforming, no matter what they done to wipe disease out.
Drug, Broad-Spectrum Antivenin: 20
A general-purpose antivenin for use against poison, particularly the types injected by a snake, spider, scorpion, or other unfriendly critter. This works identically to the broad spectrum antidote, but only applies to poisons. Drug, Endorphin: Painkilling drugs that instill a sense of euphoria into the user, endorphins allow you to function despite pain and injury, but at diminished cognitive capacity.
Drug, Nootropic: 20
So-called “smart drugs,” nootropics improve neural processing and aid in clear thought.
Drug, Stimulants: 20
Pharmaceutical-grade medicines used in surgery or emergency situations.
Drug, Tranquilizer: 20
A narcotic compound capable of permeating skin through contact, causing near instantaneous unconsciousness. One of the most popular brands is Somnex. Medical types call it “the goodnight kiss” as criminally inclined doxies (who apply the drug
over a seal to protect themselves) use as lipstick to leave their victims unconscious so they can more easily be robbed.
First-Aid Kit: 10
A standard first-aid kit containing several pain killers, weaves, smelling salts and other minor but useful items
Heartline Health Suit: 1
Immunization Packet: 20
These little foil packets contain several hypos of medicine and a couple of chewable tablets. Using a packet will help prevent the user from being infected by almost any known disease. The effects last for only about 48 hours.
Med Comp: 1
While a bit big to carry by hand (being a little bigger than a Cortex terminal), the medcomp combines most necessary medical scanners with a set of diagnostic progs. Most of the sensors operate via a plastic-cased finger sleeve attached to the medcomp by a wire; someone hooked up can have his heart rate, body temperature, blood chem levels, and so forth monitored by the computer.
Medical Supplies, Emergency: 20
The doctor who has these should be equipped to deal with most major medical situations he could reasonably expect to encounter (serious gunshot wounds, major infections, massive blood loss, etc.).
Medical Supplies, Standard: 20
The basics allow the doc to make rolls without penalty to treat most common or mild problems, such as a cold or a bullet in the leg.
Operating Theatre, Fixed: 1
Developed during the war so that base camp hospitals could be set up quickly almost anywhere, a Modular Operating Theatre equipped with a MedComp and standard and emergency medical supplies counts as Superior Supplies/Ambulance Conditions for firstaid and surgery purposes. Since many ships were equipped with them during the war, most ships use a similar model for their infirmary.
Trash Incinerator: 1
For easy disposal of medical waste
