Infirmary

The Infirmary is the base's medical facility.

Overview
The Infirmary is designed to provide medical treatment for the base personnel, for this purpose it is equipped with a number of medical bays, operating theatres, isolation rooms and a gym for physiotherapy. The staff at the infirmary have been recruited from the best in their field, most are experienced surgeons who have worked at other military hospitals, as well as a number of burns specialists (due to the nature of plasma and laser based weapons). They also keep in close contact with the the Cybernetics and Genetics Labs, ensuring the safety and health of human volunteers who undergo procedures.

Medical Bay
For relatively less serious injuries, observation or recovery the infirmary has a number of bays at the ready. Each one can accommodate a patient comfortably while they're observed by the staff. The chief medical officer Dr Valerie's private office is located right next to the bays so that she can easily observe patients at close distance. Twenty bays are kept fully stocked and ready with another ten on standby should the number of injured raise to such a level. Patients in long-term recover may be transferred to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio via Skyranger.

Operating Theatre
For serious injuries five staffed theatres are available, fitted with the latest in medical technology available. A full surgical team is always on standby during missions should squad members be seriously injured while in the field, specialists (such as neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons) may be temporarily flown in if needed. A number of technologies available in theatre are based on alien technology and physiology, allowing for a larger range of treatments.

Isolation Room
In the event a patient is contagious, presents a danger to either themselves or others, or requires private observation a number of isolation rooms are available. These have the same function as a medical bay but have a secure entry and observation room overlooking the main chamber.

Physiotherapy Gym
In order to help wounded personnel fully recover from injuries a number physiotherapy options are available, often these are used by troops who received extensive injury and had long recovery periods. Trained therapists help ensure troops have as smooth a recovery as possible when undergoing therapy.
