The Galaxy is no exception. She boasts an impressive array of the latest advances in medical technology as well as highly qualified personnel to staff and operate it. From simple crew physicals, to complex and life-saving surgery, sickbay is able to provide around the clock medical service.
Sickbay consists
primarily of two main medical wards, though it also includes several of
the science labs in other areas of the ship. To starboard are the ICU ward,
the main examination room, the isolation wards, and the CMO's office.
To the port are the zero-G therapy ward, dedicated medical labs, surgical
suites, triage centers, recovery rooms, and storage.
In addition
to the typical examination bed, sickbay also incorporates an emergency
surgical frame over the main biobed, an array of scanners in the ceiling,
and a number of wall-mounted readouts displaying nearly any information
about the patient under examination the attending physician desires.
Due to the
obviously emergency nature of the facilities, Sickbay is one of the few
areas of the Galaxy that is staffed by Starfleet personnel at all times.
In the event that the Galaxy medical support staff is insufficient in an
emergency, the ship also incorporates the Starfleet standard Emergency
Medical Holographic Program (EMH). Recently, several key areas of the ship
have been equipped with additional holo-emitters, allowing the EMH to be
projected outside of sickbay, should the need arise.
