OOC organization and directory: Transport Clinic
THIS POST is now the clearinghouse for Exsilium clinic-related stuff. Formerly it was housed elsewhere.
Add your character to the clinic staff. (how this works)
Page a random clinician to your thread or plot. (how this works) | (track the paging thread)
The clinic will have its directory OOCly maintained right here and ICly added to the network, so if someone would ICly want a specific doctor, they can contact that doctor directly (by IC contact post or, if the doc-mun's amenable, by handwaving). No need to fuss with paging someone random, in that case.
Directory of clinic staff:
Chief of Staff
Senior Staff
Miscellaneous Staff (students, clerical, etc)
notes
what is this clinic?
A note on medical treatment in Exsilium: There is, and always has been, an Initiative-run hospital. The transports started their own clinic early on, due to distrust of the Initiative. (The clinic was founded by Watson and Septim, and later inherited by Anders. Anders then left it to Adrasteius and Bones.) However, the resources in the transport clinic are themselves supplied by the Initiative, and low-ranking Initiative medics have been necessary to train the staff in use of the equipment, etc.
In other words, when you go to the transport-run clinic, you're still not completely free of Initiative technology. What you are doing is getting care that doesn't involve Initiative scientists knocking you out and running mysterious diagnostics on you without your consent.
explanation 1: about ADDING TO STAFF
If your character has any kind of medical experience or ability, Adra et al won't turn them away. We don't have to know you personally; you can be a brand-new player; your character can be from an advanced starfaring civilization or an apprentice midwife from the Clan of the Cave Bear.
If your character has no actual background in medicine and wants to learn, we'll will put them to work cleaning bedpans and assisting with things.
In short, we'll take anyone, EXCEPT THIS: If your character is randomly crazy and signs up for entertainment purposes, their offer of help would be declined. While it might be hilarious to have Spongebob Squarepants bumbling around a clinic, Adra is extraordinarily cranky and would not ICly allow that. HEALING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. That's about the only scenario in which someone will be turned down.
The mods had established a while back that anyone working in the clinic does get a small additional stipend to their ordinary Initiative pay. There is that small incentive, for those characters who need one.
explanation 2: about PAGING A CLINICIAN
In my opinion, in-game businesses and institutions exist primarily to foster CR. I'd like to make that as easy as possible. I've seen games where people sort of lag while waiting for the doctor-muns to sort out who's taking the thread, and I've been in a horror game where there were only a couple of doctors and the muns didn't get much of a chance to RP anything but healing people.
It can be a pain in the ass to arrange some kind of medical intervention in a thread when you actually don't care what character is involved, you just need someone. It can also be OOCly uncomfortable to ask a specific player you don't know to jump into your thread, since you have no way of knowing whether they feel like playing Florence Nightingale that particular moment.
Therefore, we have made this thread for paging any Transport Clinic staff, and whatever mun is up to thread at the time they're paged can say they're the clinic staffer on call. ICly, whoever's on call will have received the call and has that IC reason to respond.
OOCly, the players who have a character on clinic staff can have notifications of On Call thread comments emailed to them by tracking this post -- or just tracking the paging thread, if you've got a paid account. If you don't want to do that, you're not obliged to track the post, of course.
