I say this as a doctor. How in the actual heck do you miss AIMEDs on a list of medical supplies?
Additionally, why would you still use ionizing radiation for medical imaging? The more I read this, the more I worry about all of you. What else do you want? A needle and thread to sew up lacerations? How about some leeches, too? |

Next you'll tell me you want to use rocket fuel as a disin--oh gods that's on your list, too! |

A needle and thread to sew up lacerations? How about some leeches, too? As someone who designs, crafts, and implements advanced equipment, I can answer that. Complex technology fails. Typically when you need it not to. These cities have a less capable infrastructure to maintain more sophisticated equipment as well, which isn't as much of an issue when you're on a core world. Simple, practical supplies with a low failure rate are, in this instance, a better front line. I'm sure no one would decry getting the more sophisticated items, but from a realistic standpoint, these basic amenities will be more effective when needed, simply because they will work when needed. It's a principle I use in a lot of my designs, as well. Lower tech, but higher concept. You speak like these places are the worst of backwater null sec or some planet in Molden Heath that's been bombarded so many times there's not running water and power. Gods. This is the Federation. Cellular regen and even something like an MRI are not beyond the capability of even Gamma cities to maintain and keep running. As for AIMEDs, do you propose to draft doctors and nurses and send them instead? Good luck.
No, what is happening is that you (maybe not you specifically, but you in the general sense) have no idea how medicine works, made your proposal with such lack of knowledge, and now double down to avoid being seen as incorrect. Normally, I don't give a flying ****. Except in medicine, when you don't know what you're doing, people die. I've had enough of the Imperial medical establishment being class A fuckups. (One Amarr doctor induced a coma in a patient for absolutely no ******* reason.) Admit you're ******* wrong and amend your ******* list and stop whining that "this is effective" or "our list includes but not limited to." Ask for cellular regens, ask for AIMEDs, ask for nanite scrubs. You specifically included NSAIDs, but don't ask for an MRI? SSRIs but not TCMCs (which are far more effective for the treatment of mental illnesses, esp in a place that doesn't have infrastructure for effective therapy).
Either you're actually trying to help people, in which case check your ******* egos, or you're trying to just virtue signal, in which case just shut up. |

Okay, drop the rocket fuel, the x-rays, and the leaches. Add AIMEDs, nanite scrub, cellular regen, MRIs, and TCMCs. |

Well, that just lowered my opinion of Minmatar medicine. |

Well, thanks for that answer, Elmund. And I'm sorry to hear that.
The thing is that none of the stuff I've said is exactly delicate. An X-ray machine is not really more difficult to maintain than an MRI. I've never had a cellular regen device not work properly. Nanite scrub, again it just works. None of these technologies are new; none of them are really fancy. Not in the Federation.
I would, honest to gods, convene a review board and demand answers if a doctor used an x-ray machine on a patient. I can't think of a possible reason, but I'd give the doctor a chance to try to explain.
Furthermore I completely reject the idea, completely and totally, that the people in Delta and Gamma cities are somehow undeserving of the fullest capabilities of modern Gallente medicine. That is what really disgusts me. |

Can we please not start comparing improvised emergency aid in the field to medicine in a hospital or clinic? This really distracts from the point. |

Honestly this just seems like some lame attempt to seek relevance because something having to do with ones field is the topic of discussion. Sadly it could have been done in an entirely more productive way, but I guess sometimes people prefer a dramatic statement over a sensible one. Oh well.
I am sure that if I send out invitations for my New Years Orgy and say that our activity list may include but is not limited to:
- Alcohol
- Kinky Sex
- Drug Use
- Actual Human Sacrifice
People will have something to say about it. Even if I point out that it's just a possibility, but doesn't have to happen. |

Of course my New Years Orgy will not have actual human sacrifice! |
