The Surgeon role is a more specialized version of the Physician. It is a difficult and extremely important role as, outside of aChief Medical Officer with the correct training, you are the person who handles the advanced surgical procedures on organic crew members.

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). But 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.

Overview

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.

As a Surgeon your main job is to perform surgery but 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.
