Medical -- Doctor

Medical is currently the only profession that is divided into two concentrations: Doctor and Pharmacy. These concentrations are split to allow for a division of responsibility for the duties required to effectively treat beYou users who have come down with something.

Doctors will see and diagnose patients while Pharmacists will craft and administer medications to treat the conditions.

## Restrictions/Requirements

* MUST be a level 5 beYou citizen in order to activate this or any profession.
* Can not change professions for 60 days once profession has been enabled
* Health must be enabled
* Cannot have Pharmacy enabled

## What is a beYou Doctor?

beYou Doctors will handle many of the medical diagnosis requirements and perform some holistic healing practices for the beYou community. They are also responsible for processing some standard forms regarding your identity and birth within beYou.

## Becoming a Doctor

Once you establish yourself as a Doctor, you can immediately begin practicing. You will need to advertise your services to procure clientele. You can do this straight away by either joining several inworld spam groups, using the beYou Ad Service prims that you can get at the main beYou sim by the adboards, or by doing grassroots advertising on your own via your social circles or other social media outlets. However, ***you can not advertise in the main beYou group***; This is against the group charter.

## Leveling Your Profession

Once you become a Doctor, you will advance your profession by leveling your skill points. To determine what skill points you need to advance, click on the account options button on your profile, and choose ‘My Career Path.’

In ‘My Career Path’, you will see what research you must accomplish, which skill points you need to advance and how many life experience points (LEP) you will need to advance to the next level.

## FAQ's

***I used my Exercise Mat and did not see my Guided research path change.***

> Do you have more than one profession enabled that requires the mat? If so it is possible it filled the requirement in your other professions path.
>
>
> Did you use the correct mat? beYou has some older fitness mats that only gave fitness points and were sold by beYou, not the community, these will not fulfill the Exercise training session requirement.
>
>
>
> Did you use the non-copy version of the player created mat? One of the mats is for rp only while the other completes a session and is single use, No copy (this mat starts with "bY").
>
>

***I had a Lawyer do my certification and started the forms but I didn't get the credit.***

> Certification can not be completed till you have done BOTH book Medical Careers - Part 1 and Medical Careers - Part 2 (TRANIEE). Complete your books first or you will need to go to a Lawyer again after they have completed. Any form completed before your books are done, will be invalid.

> Achievements are a thing of the past, do not worry about clicking what achievement to pick when leveling.

***It looks like we need a "pamper session" what is this.***

> Artisan is coming - once released, visit your local barber, hair salon, nail tech etc. CURRENTLY THIS IS NOT ROLLED OUT- COMING SOON

***I don't want to do Doctor but I turned it on***

> Mistakes happen, open a ticket and see if staff can help you. There is NO guarantee they will revert your career path, but you can ask them.

## Tasks/Responsibilities

As a Doctor, you are able to perform the following tasks:

* Medical examination and diagnosis
* Birth Certificate Creation
* Adoption Conversion (convert adoptions to birth certificates)
* Age changes
* Gender Changes

It will be up to you to ensure beYou users can properly diagnose their condition (if any) and provide users with a code for a pharmacist to fill their prescription. If you're a beYou doctor, it is not possible to diagnose your own medical condition.

Patients may know their condition, if they are already familiar with the symptoms, However only the exam given by a Doctor can properly diagnose the patient. Once an exam is given a prescription will AUTOMATICALLY be generated by the doctor for the patient. This is the only way to get a prescription!

> **Note**: at times people think they are ill but may need to eat, this is a frequent thing doctors see for new users.
>
>

## Exams/Prescriptions

As a Doctor, it is your responsibility to generate these prescriptions. Without them, the user is unable to get the medication necessary to get well.

**IMPORTANT**: As a Doctor, you may not and can not examine yourself. The medical examination table requires 2 parties to sit on it for it to operate.

To give an exam:

1. Rez out your medical exam table. Have your patient sit on the exam table.
2. Wear (or rez) your Medicure Tablet. It can be used as a Hud or placed down inworld. (It will be easier to see as a Hud)
3. Allow your tablet to start up (wait for the hover text "Working, please wait" to disappear)
4. Click the Power On button (In Red) and allow it to power up (Green welcome text will disappear)

Your tablet is only useful with someone sitting on your table. They will communicate with each other and until someone sits on the table the tablet will not be able to do anything.

### Exam Requirements

* You and your patient will have to have energy and hygiene above 5%
* As the doctor, you will need (1) of each of the following items: Otoscope, Blood Pressure Cuff, Oximeter, Stethoscope & Thermometer

These supplies are easily obtainable and are not used unless an exam is completed

### Exam Steps

1. With your patient and yourself sitting on the table *(as of 2023 doctors are not required to sit on the table to perform exams*), ensure your tablet is on and that you have the proper energy and hygiene.
2. Allow the exam to setup (yellow hover text will disappear)
3. Use the Weight, Temp, BP, Ears & Heart buttons at the bottom to take your patient through each exam step.
4. After all 5 steps are complete (green checkmarks) use the Generate Prescription button to finish the exam up and diagnose.
5. If your patient is sick, the diagnosis will be stated in private IM to the client and the prescription information will be displayed on your medicure tablet in yellow hovertext over the patient’s photo. The fulfillment code will also show on your medical page under the Prescriptions Created tab. You can also use the Patient Information button to view.
6. You can use the Past Patient Testing Results to view the prescription history for the user.
7. Use the End Exam button to complete the examination.

### Prescriptions

Once an exam is completed, you will automatically generate a prescription's fulfillment code for your pharmacist as the second to last step of the checkup. Because you are the first person the patient will see, you should advise your patient on how to find a pharmacist - the pharmacist should contact the patient and advise them on how to take their medication.

* Health MUST be enabled in order to be a beYou Medical Professional. If you deactivate health in your account settings, this profession and other medical concentrations will automatically be d eactivad.te
