Autodoctor

The Autodoctor is a device capable of undertaking medical procedures without medical personnel.

### Functions

The extent of the Autodoctors medical expertise goes from restoring crippled or damaged limbs, removing foreign objects, implementing implants and prosthetics’, injecting adrenaline, tranquilizers or stimpacks, suturing and removing burned or damaged skin (via laser surgery known as flaying), curing chemical addictions, giving haircuts, brain removal and basic psychiatric evaluations.

The Autodoctor also does follow ups, organising check ups and dispensing medical supplies and first aid kits.

### Features

Autodoctors feature many autonomous arms mounted with surgery lights that use scalpels, syringes, tongs, sponges and other multipurpose hands. The Autodoctor also features a surgery bed with its own clamps and braces, this is where the patient is warped in.

Autodoctors are autodidact, and can learn new procedures, but since they have little contact with the Dalmer (as the patient is warped to the respite room immediately after treatment) beyond the occasional technician who comes to update software. However the autodoctor, if overridden by an exterior operator, can perform non standard procedures and learn from them.

### Installation

Autodoctors typically occupy entire rooms, as such Medbays typically are row upon rows and floors upon floors of rooms fitted with autodoctors.

The Autodoctor features a control panel to its side along with a built in diagnosis module. The Autodoctor addresses the patient using voice boxes managed by a simple AI.

### Operation

Once warped in an autodoctor, the patient is stabilized via stimpack injection, the patient's injury is scanned by an electric eye, bones are resettled, wounds sutured, limbs too injured to heal are cut from the base and replaced with the appropriate robotic prosthesis. In case of altogether assurance that the patient will die, the Autodoctor performs a brain scan and uploads the patients personality to a robotic shell.

Some dalmer who oppose prosthesis and brain scans have chips implanted that causes the Autodoctor to fail, this is harshly punished by law.

### Examples of autodoctor operations

#### **Autodoctor trauma procedure**

A general scan starts in order to determine why the person has been warped in, why it's Hp is depleted. As soon s evidence of trauma is detected, the scan stops and the procedure begins. A quick scan of the traumatized member is done.

If the member is damaged beyond repair, it is removed.

If the member has been sectioned, then a garrot is placed to stop the bleeding.

Fountainwater is then poured in order to sterilize the wound, and the nerves are pulled from the stump. The nerves will later be connected to a prosthetic replacement.

#### **Asclepieia program**

In case of patient overload, the Ascelpieia program is run. Ascelpieia are Temples of sleep, where the sick are put to sleep (stasis) through morphee and hypnos programs (sleep pattern softwares). Then the oneiroi would extract the memories of dreams. Then arrives the panacee program to cure existing diseases and hygie to prevent future diseases. If all these attempts fail, the thanatos program euthanizes the patient in its sleep.

## Autodoctor Modules

Autodoctors can have supplementary modules installed for more precise operations. the most usual of these modules concern the silent majority, but also other operations.

### Brain removal module

A module specifically created for the safe removal of brains from a still living dalmer. This module can also be obtained commercially for private use.

Brain removal is the experimental art of extracting working brains from live subjects, and then hooking them up to machines so that they may communicate with the outside world. Communicating to the brain however, is possible. Dalmer brains can function autonomously from the body. a Dalmer brain placed in a solution of brine, connected to a battery and a telephone line, can solve problems (it pulsates while doing this), count, and somehow, see. The brain can be fed with brain flakes, the central ridge serving as a mouth.

Recently however, brain in jar technology has given new life to the practice.

### Redundant organ systems installer module

The Dalmer flirted with the attractiveness of multiple redundant organs such as hearts and digestive systems, but their intense misunderstanding of medicine causes them to resemble frankensteinian monsters, and to vomit blood constantly. The only positive is the ease of organ transplant and blood reception, the ability to know exactly what is going on with body functions and the ability to detect a viable candidate for a new organ transplant. Other than these previous reasons, the dalmer rarely elect to undergo supplementary organ implanting.

### Immaterial/Material Chrome Reassembly engine

*Main Article: Immaterial/Material Chrome Reassembly engine*

The IMCR engine was built by the dalmer as an attempt to ensure that all dalmer get the chance to be brain scanned before dying. The machine works by returning the deceased's’ incorporeal form to the material one.

### Animus Substance Extractor

*Main Article: Animus Substance Extractor*

A module of the autodoctor used to extract animus substance for mediucal purposes.

### Immaterialisation houses

*Main Article: Immaterialisation houses*

The Dalmer use specially built houses designed to ease the passage from the physical to the immaterial, IE turning into an incorporeal form.

#### **Ghost Door**

*Main Article: Ghost Door*

The technology of immaterialisation houses has been perfected to the point that the Dalmer can construct doors that allow the user to undergo soul flight by going through a door. The operation is reversible as well.

## Flesh Zipper

A zipper that cuts flesh without blood effusion, allowing seamless retraction of skin, flesh and even bone matter.

## Autodoctor monitoring room

The Autodoctor monitor, or Autodoctor monitoring room is a semi automatic Healthcare provider that allows for research studies on top of a regular Autodoctors' functions and a few other features.
