The '''Surgeon''' role is a more specialized version of the [[Physician]]. It is a difficult and extremely important role as, outside of a [[Chief Medical Officer]] with the correct training, you are the person who handles the advanced surgical procedures on organic crew members.
The '''Surgeon''' role is a difficult but very important role within the medical team. Aside from a [[Chief Medical Officer]] with the correct training, you are the only person with the education to handle advanced surgical procedures on organic crew members. Considering the importance of your position in the team, you should be familiar with most if not all [[Surgery|surgical procedures]].


You have received more training and experience in surgery, and so Physicians should typically defer surgical cases to if you are present (except for emergencies, for cases that fall under the purview of the [[Roboticist]], or cases where you can otherwise not reach a patient in time). At the same time, you should '''not''' be running around the GTR and ICU or running out to grab wounded crew with the First Responders. You should also leave autopsies and the like to [[Investigator#Performing_Autopsies|Investigators]] if they are present - that's definitely a part of their job, and not necessarily one of ''your'' tasks.

==== Physician ====
[[Physician]]s and Surgeons have a lot of overlap in education and duties. Both you and physicians are expected to have knowledge on different types of injuries, how to diagnose them, and how to treat them. The primary difference between Surgeons and Physicians, however, is how injuries are treated. Surgeons are trained to treat injuries through surgical and physical means. You should work with Physicians to distribute patients between surgical and chemical treatments.


== Overview ==
While your focus is on surgical treatments, you are expected to know the various chemicals used in the medical bay. This '''DOES NOT''' make you a super doctor. Unless it is an emergency or help is requested, leave the patients in the General Treatment Room (GTR) to the Physicians.
 
==== Pharmacist ====
You will start with an advanced first aid kit and surgical cap with scrubs. This outfit will denote you specifically as a Surgeon and not a Physician. Your home will be '''Medical''' and the '''Operating Rooms'''.
[[Pharmacist]]s traditionally support the Physicians with the chemicals they make. However, there are some chemicals useful in the Operating Rooms (OR) that you should make sure the Pharmacist makes, such as [[Guide_to_Chemistry#Alkysine|Alkysine]]. It is also well advised to keep some of the basic chemicals on you in case you need to assist the Physicians, or a patient in your care needs more medicine.
 
==== Medical Intern ====
As a Surgeon your main job is to perform surgery; if there is a shortage of medical staff you can and probably will be expected to help with general patient care, but never do this unless asked or the situation calls for it.
[[Medical Intern]]s are the learners of the medical team. They are here to build on top of their education to one day become a doctor alongside you and your coworkers. While some are here to become [[First Responder]]s or Physicians, others are here to become Surgeons. They are given the specific name Surgical Intern to help distinguish who is learning what. You should work with Interns to train them on surgical procedures and operations. A good way to go about this is using a monkey, which can be found in the OR freezer. No matter how well trained an Intern is, they should always be monitored either by a Surgeon, Physician, or Chief Medical Officer when operating.
 
==== Investigator ====
A guide to Surgery, and a guideline that explains which operations Surgeons are qualified for, can be found [[Surgery | on this page]].
In the unfortunate circumstance that a crew member dies and the circumstances are unknown, you should leave the task of an autopsy to the [[Investigator#Performing_Autopsies|Investigators]].
==== Machinist ====
Some crew members may have mechanical organs or limbs. In extreme cases, a patient may lose a limb that needs to be replaced. In these circumstances, you would work with the [[Machinist]] to fix mechanical organs and prosthetic limbs. You do have the knowledge on how to install prosthetic limbs and organs, however fixing these parts is outside of your abilities without Nanopaste.

The Surgeon role is a difficult but very important role within the medical team. Aside from a Chief Medical Officer with the correct training, you are the only person with the education to handle advanced surgical procedures on organic crew members. Considering the importance of your position in the team, you should be familiar with most if not all surgical procedures.

Your Coworkers and You

Physician

Physicians and Surgeons have a lot of overlap in education and duties. Both you and physicians are expected to have knowledge on different types of injuries, how to diagnose them, and how to treat them. The primary difference between Surgeons and Physicians, however, is how injuries are treated. Surgeons are trained to treat injuries through surgical and physical means. You should work with Physicians to distribute patients between surgical and chemical treatments.

While your focus is on surgical treatments, you are expected to know the various chemicals used in the medical bay. This DOES NOT make you a super doctor. Unless it is an emergency or help is requested, leave the patients in the General Treatment Room (GTR) to the Physicians.

Pharmacist

Pharmacists traditionally support the Physicians with the chemicals they make. However, there are some chemicals useful in the Operating Rooms (OR) that you should make sure the Pharmacist makes, such as Alkysine. It is also well advised to keep some of the basic chemicals on you in case you need to assist the Physicians, or a patient in your care needs more medicine.

Medical Intern

Medical Interns are the learners of the medical team. They are here to build on top of their education to one day become a doctor alongside you and your coworkers. While some are here to become First Responders or Physicians, others are here to become Surgeons. They are given the specific name Surgical Intern to help distinguish who is learning what. You should work with Interns to train them on surgical procedures and operations. A good way to go about this is using a monkey, which can be found in the OR freezer. No matter how well trained an Intern is, they should always be monitored either by a Surgeon, Physician, or Chief Medical Officer when operating.

Investigator

In the unfortunate circumstance that a crew member dies and the circumstances are unknown, you should leave the task of an autopsy to the Investigators.

Machinist

Some crew members may have mechanical organs or limbs. In extreme cases, a patient may lose a limb that needs to be replaced. In these circumstances, you would work with the Machinist to fix mechanical organs and prosthetic limbs. You do have the knowledge on how to install prosthetic limbs and organs, however fixing these parts is outside of your abilities without Nanopaste.
