Sickbay

Sickbay is the main medical center aboard Federation Starships. Sickbay is led by the Chief Medical Officer (CMO), a senior staff member, and crewed by various docters and nurses. It is responsible for the health care and well being of the crew. The area is also tasked with analysis of new life forms a starship may encounter, and developing treatments for unknown diseases and illnesses. When rendering aid to a stricken planet or spacecraft, the sickbay staff treats and cares for the wounded. On starbases, sickbay is typically called the infirmiry.
