ACE Medical
So you want to learn how to use ACE medical the FPARMA way? The new ACE medical giving you more assfuckery than a night in Dubai? Stay a while and listen to Lyn's steps to success:
Taking care of Yourself: Someone shot me!
1) Press H - this brings up your ACE medical menu
2) Make sure you're interacting with yourself, this can be changed with the icon on the right of the bar. Your name should be on the top left
3) Click on any injured part of yourself (the colour of the body part will range from pale yellow - orange/red)
4) Click on the little rectangle/broken bone (Bandage/Fractures)
5) Bandage everything up
- 5a) If one limb is particularly fucked up, you may wish to apply a Tourniquet to prevent you losing more blood than is necessary
6) If you are in pain, click on your arm or leg and click on the pill bottle icon (Medication)
- 6a) If you are in severe pain, give yourself 2 shots of morphine
- 6b) If you are in pain or mild pain, give yourself 1 shot of morphine
7) You may end up with blue parts afterwards with bruises - this is normal and can be safely ignored
8) If you are lacking blood, or have run out of medical supplies, please find your local medic as soon as possible and whine at them until they can fix you up

3) Check their pulse
4) Oh no, they have no heart rate
5) First thing's first, click on their chest and then the heartbeat icon (Advanced Treatment)

7) Keep checking their pulse after you perform CPR
8) Once you have a heartbeat, click on each of the injured areas (which will turn yellow-orange-red) depending on how damaged they are and bandage them up
9) If they require blood, click on their arm and go back to Advanced Treatments.

- 9c) If they have lost some blood, put 500ml into them
- 9d) If they have lost a little blood, put 250ml into them or tell them to walk it off
10) If they have not yet woken up, click on their arm or leg and click on the pill bottle icon (Medication)

12) Once someone is only missing some or a little blood and is otherwised bandaged up and stable, they should soon wake up.
