	To perform any ~~form of surgery~~, a Medicae or Chirurgeon ~~must make use of tools to perform~~ a ~~period of roleplay treating~~ a ~~character’s wounds.~~ '''~~Casualties~~ must ~~be given~~ a dose of ~~the [[Alchemistry_(Chems_and_their_Creation)#Opia\|~~Opia]]''' ~~in order~~ to ~~hold~~ still ~~for surgery without restraint~~ otherwise ~~they~~ should ~~be instructed~~ to roleplay extreme pain ~~and make a lot of noise while~~ you ~~work~~.		* The '''Complication''' card will guide you in the type and duration of Surgery roleplay you must perform.

			** Some cards allow '''Medicae Interventions''' - these are straightforward and can be accomplished by any Medicae or Chirurgeon.
			** Some cards require '''Proper Procedures''' - these can only be performed by a '''Chirurgeon''' in a '''Medbay'''.
			* If a surgery card does not specify a duration, it takes at least 1 minute to complete.
			* You must give your patient a dose of '''Opia''' to remain still, otherwise you should prompt them to thrash and roleplay extreme pain.
			* When you have completed surgery, you may call '''Get it Together''' unless the Surgery option you have chosen says otherwise.

	When surgery is completed, the treated character is restored to a healthy state you may call '''Get it Together''' on the patient unless the Surgery option you have chosen specifies additional conditions and side effects of the Surgery. If a surgery card does not specify how long it takes to complete it takes 1 minute.		=== Medbays ===

	~~===~~ Medbays ~~===~~		'''Medbays''' allow [[Professional_Traits#Chirurgeon\|Chirurgeons]] to resolve Complications with '''Proper Procedures'''. They also allow Chirurgeons to attempt more complex procedures with Game Team approval, such as installation of Bionics or conducting Autopsies.

	A Medbay is defined as a well equipped medical facility such as a small surgery or a field hospital. Medbays are set up as part of the game environment and in some cases may be deliberately absent to present a challenge to players. A medbay is usable as such if an '''Officio Medicae Banner''' is set up in the environment by the Game Team or if the Game Team tells you otherwise.

	~~=== Medical Complications Deck ===~~
	When a '''Medicae''' or '''Chirugeon''' is performing Triage on another character and fails a Power Test they draw directly from the [[Card Decks & Lore Sheets\|Medical Complications Deck]] each of these cards describes the exact nature of the complication that the character has encountered while healing an individual and its direct effects.

	~~In addition it will offer one or more of three possible ways to resolve it which we call 'Surgery';~~

	* '''Medicae Intervention:''' These can be done in the field by a Medicae. They are battlefield treatments to get a casualty on their feet, but often don’t deal with the problem entirely. They take no more than a minute of roleplay to perform.

	'''Quick Fixes:''' These can be done in the field by a Chirugeon, or by a Medicae who is being given explicit instructions by one (over radio etc will count). These are quick and brutal solutions to get a casualty back on their feet but often cause more issues going forwards. They take no more than thirty seconds of roleplay to perform.

	'''Proper Procedures:''' May only be performed by a Chirugeon in a Medbay. These are the correct surgical methods for dealing with injuries. They should take upwards of a few minutes of roleplay to perform.
