How much do you know about first-aid and general medicine?:

I have taken roughly three years of biology, chemistry, and sports med education OOCLY! I have knowledge on how to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and treat or maneuver other minor injuries. The biology is moreso to identify issues with internal organs in greater and realistic detail. I also have a knack for characters with a medical occupation, causing my further study in it in the past few years.

Give us 3 examples of injuries, and their resolution:

Wisteria Affliction:

This is a fictional affliction caused by definitive blue flowers that now reside in a secluded part of the forest, in Shady Pines. However, based on the detailing of the flower's properties in the official lore document, I could theoretically explain how I would treat this from a medical standpoint in consideration to its effects on the human body. Personally, Tier one does not require any medical intervention, and can be solved by supervising the person that is affected to prevent foreseeable harm. Its most close in resemblance to an acid trip. Tier two is where how long the effects last could be potentially damaging to the body. One of the side effects is nausea, which I would treat with a steady drip of IV fluids to prevent further implications of its cause, potentially dehydration. Wiping down the areas of exposed skin with a wet cloth and requesting that the patient is provided with a change of clothes is also a precautionary step to cut down on how long they are affected by it, and the spread of the pollen and/or flower oils that may linger on their person. Its better to stay calm, and make an effort to reassure around patients experiencing a Tier two and three Wisteria high, as the drug is known induce feelings of fear, panic, or sadness. It makes it much more difficult to treat, and can elevate their heart rate or change their breathing patterns drastically. Tier three is followed immediately by cleansing and administrations of fluid. I would also look into the use of activated charcoal, which is a common method that treats opioid poisoning that occurred within 1-2 hours. This may dull down the effects of the flower, which for this tier last 8-12 hours, dramatically exhausting on the body and mind.

(this treatment may be subject to change as the lore document is updated with in-detail symptoms!)

Severe Burn:

The firsssttt step! make sure you know where the burn is. If it affects the face, neck, or chest area, check their ABC's! Airway, breathing, and circulation. If their airway is obstructed, they aren't breathing properly, or if it isn't circulating it could kill them in a little over two minutes. In most cases where it won't be as severe, after undressing the site of the burn and situating the patient, start them on fluids because they will be very swollen! (Edema). This is because fluid leaks out of their capillaries and into the interstitial space. Which is the space between cells. And, of course, it should not be there. alikely, if enough plasma is lost from the blood it can vastly limit its circulation. This causes your patient to go into hypovolemic shock, which essentially means organ failure due to that lack of circulation! Thus, treat this properly. You should also get them started on analgesic IV's because imaginably it hurts like a buttcheek on a stick/ref. If first aid was not already performed, get to cooling the burn using clean, cold water. Typically in a case as severe as this, necrotic tissue does need to be removed through surgical or mechanical intervention to prevent the otherwise high risk of infection. Once sterilized, the use of antibiotics and medicated dressings should take care of it. One common high exposure with burns such as these is tetanus, so occasionally a vaccine will have to be given prior to the burn if the patients records are not up to date. 

Compound Fracture (Open Fracture):

Bone fractures are really unfortunate in themselves, but things get really especially gross within a compound Fracture. but of course, that fact alone making them my favourite to talk about. There are open and closed fractures, Open fractures are a case where the bone penetrates through the skin completely. These can happen right away in remote areas such as the Tibia, Femur, and Fibula, or be caused through further force trauma inflicted on a closed fracture. The first step would be to address what's most urgent, the amount of blood loss the patient was subject to, and in accordance, their vitals. Pain relief also typically comes early on in the process through IV analgesics (it looks agonizing, because it is..). Typically you want to take care of administering antibiotics and are required to dress the wound prior to providing a splint since the point at which the bone exists through has broken all layers of skin, and is at a much higher risk of infection. More times than not there is also external debris involved, making it increasingly harder for your immune system to fight against it in the presence of broken tissue. Splints aren't the fix, but they are temporary until they can be approved for internal or external fixation. Its also super important that you apply the splint in consideration to immobilizing the joint proximal and the joint distal in the site of the fracture. Proximal refers to the point closer to the center of the body, and distal refers lower. So if an open fracture were to occur on the tibia, your proximal point would be the knee, and the distal would be the ankle. The tibia is moved when a patient flexes their knee, and it can further worsen the injury which is why it would be important to stabilize it. External fixation is a little less extreme, and is done without surgically having to access the bone. Its more adjustable, and is sometimes used as a temporary before internal fixation as a step up from a splint, in severe cases. Internal fixation is accessed surgically and, alike, involves screws, rods, plates, and nails used to hold the two fragments of the bone together.

Why do you want to join the hospital faction on Echoes? Answer this OOC:

- I was thrilled at the opportunity to be able to join a hospital faction on another roleplay server! I've submitted applications on another server on multiple occasions, however was denied because I did not have as large of a reputation and an impact on the general players. I think it was unfair, as I had put a lot of detail into my work and that in order to build a reputation in the first place, I needed more opportunities to interact with people, one helpful thing being a member of a medical faction.

- I'm also so far really fond of the overall setting of Echoes, and gradually expanding story! there are definitely a lot of updates that keep me invested, also the retrospect ideas of the server that may happen later such as supernatural events. I would also like to see all the shops open eventually and the new features that will make the experience unique to that server. 

- Staff are responsive and attentive to the players, and from my experiences are the absolute sweetest people. Event team is active and contributes to the lore, builders are also super helpful and have been taking the time decorating the interiors of a few RV's at peoples requests. The small communities created at the very start of these servers is such a joyful experience, and I wasn't sure how long we would have one for so I don't mind expressing a gratitude for it.

How would you deal with someone that was FailRPing inside of the hospital?:

My first action is to issue warnings, since I do want this to be a welcoming environment for new players, which means the possibility of mistakes. how many warnings, depends on the person's attitude and persistency. If my asks of them go ignored, I reject any further roleplay with them if it won't be fair and uphold the rules that are set in place for a reason. That being if they are just doing so at the hospital, of course. If I personally notice a spread in their behaviour or other misdemeanors regarding it, I would lastly contact an available moderator to handle the situation accordingly.

Provide us with 2 some-what detailed actions of your character helping an injured person. You can choose the injury or illness.

1) Everette resided in the worn down office chair belonging to the front desk, his gaze fixated on the humid afternoon sun outside of the entrance. His eyes catch on a few deeper toned shadows elicited onto the floor, soon enough his vision becoming obstructed by the figure of a woman that had stumbled in. Rising out of his chair, he chirped a greeting before collecting a clipboard with an arrangement of papers, alongside a pen he'd deemed his favourite for its certainly unmatchable qualities. Stepping out into the beginning of the hallway with his remainably tidy appearance, he gestured the female over.

-

Watching intently as she settled onto the parchment dressed bed, he began to subconsciously assess her physical factors. Pale, disoriented speech, and weakened.  His voice emerged in a soft, polite tone, enunciating a few more questions for confirmation. Whilst he spoke, he approached the woman to take her vitals, making mental note of each result. His coat remained hung on the door, a slender left hand scribbling down a few notes of varying detail according to the answers. He concluded a unfortunate case of dehydration. Setting what remained in his hands aside, he rose from his chair again. He exited room, his heeled loafers audible against the tile floor as he approached the medical storage. He reached for isotonic solution, retrieving a bag of compound 5% dextrose liquid. His free hand gripped onto a cold metal rod, wheeling a intravenous pole out of the room with him. Once returned to the patient, he collected the rest of the supplies he needed to administer an electrolyte IV drip. Sanitizing his hands, he slipped on the classic bright blue, hypoallergenic vinyl gloves. Whilst setting up the needle that would deliver the fluid, he made light conversation to steer their mind away from the anticipation. Once he'd been sure everything was sanitary, he prepped the site by locating a prominent vein in their inner elbow. This followed by sanitizing the area, before uncapping the needle and administering it at a 25 degree angle into the skin with applied pressure. His eyes flickered towards the females face with an endearing smile, hoping it would be of any kind of assurement. Placing a cut of tape over the site to secure the needle, an idle hum escaped his throat as he began to clean up the used supplies.

2) Shutting the door quietly, the lean-framed male made his way back to the hallway. Though, before he could take up the position of tapping his fingers idly on the wooden table that was the front desk, his eyes caught onto another scene. A person, appearing to be in their late teens paced the waiting room nervously with a towel wrapped around a frail hand. He took only a few more mere seconds to assess what he was working with, before gesturing the youngling over. Once he had settled the patient into the treatment room, he hastily pulls back his sleeves, sanitizes his hands thoroughly and pulls on a pair of gloves to begin the initial analysis. Reaching towards the patient, he peeled the bloodied towel from their hand and inspected the depth and the geometry of the laceration. The injury had been physically visible, requiring much less questioning. However, he still inquired if the patient had felt any numbness or tingling, dull or sharp pain. Luckily, he assessed no further evidence of nerve, tendon, tissue, or bone damage. Turning onto his heel in a swift motion, he swept a few necessary supplies into his hand. his first instinct - washing the gash with antiseptic solution. The laceration seemed to be both longer and deeper than half an inch, measuring to 12mm by 6. Everette once more struck up a friendly conversation, keeping his body language relaxed. He warned the patient the use of local anesthetic, and the application of stitches was needed in this circumstance. 

-

Changing his gloves, he pressed a piece of cotton to the top of the glass vial. Snapping it off, before tossing the excess glass in the trash. He peeled open the packaging of a new syringe, securing a capped needle onto. flicking the covering off, he inserted the 25 gauge needle into the top, flipping the vial. Withdrawing 5 mL of lidocaine, he set the vial down and drew any air out of the needle. After administering the shot, he allowed the anesthetic around thirty minutes to take effect. Whilst waiting, he gathered the supplies needed to suture, deciding on a reverse cutting PS-3 needle. His own hands work feather light, ensuring every stitch is evened out. Tying it off with a box knot, he bandaged the area firmly to apply pressure. Following the procedure, Everette prescribed an antibiotic ointment fit for the amounts of bacteria ones hands are subject to that might cause difficulty healing the wound.

Provide us with your character’s backstory. Please attempt to limit yourself to more-or-less 1,500 words (maximum 2,500):

Everette was the first born to a Greek male, and a Greek-English woman. A child with a soul that had been lit on fire the second he was conceived, a free spirit that the passing years would not take toll on. He grew into his magnificent form as he learned to walk and talk, an umber toned complexion complimented by strawberry brown locks of hair that framed youthful, honey-brown eyes. A gleeful laughter bubbled in his little lungs often, yet he'd been surprisingly timid. Such factors of his personality became prominent a year before he would start kindergarten, when his baby brother would be welcomed into the family. Aaron and Everette, polar opposites yet so alike in almost every way. Aaron donned his father's appearance, the same umber skin tone, mounted by dark, unruly tufts of hair. He was nowhere near as kind-hearted as everette, but did in fact bear a good intention. His tone grew to be stern, chaotic in its own way.

-

The five years held between them seemed like nothing with an effect in their adulthood. But in when you're growing up, it is what sets child apart from teen. The first time they would be seperated for a long while had been approaching, the date Everette would graduate highschool. They lived in a part of town with a fancy name slapped on the slums, and attended a public school under a truthfully penniless district. The eldest son graduated in May, taking his pure transcripts and dropping to his knees to beg his parents to study abroad. He'd had much too little to pursue in an underdeveloped town, and Aaron had still been in the eighth grade. Not plenty they could agree to team up on, yet. 

-

Everette was a few days shy of his twentieth birthday. A sore young one, working a full time odd-job for twenty six months with only the hope of making a name for himself. Gradually, he began to set a larger and larger share of his paycheck aside into savings, sacrificing much of any opportunity to better his current life, or much of what should have belonged to a man of his age. He had only a vague notion of a country he wasn't even sure was founded on democracy - how much a japanese socialist policy would've covered of his education. Though quickly enough, it had been time to leave. Aaron was soon to go into eleventh grade, paying little mind to Everette's whereabouts anymore. He complained page after page, Everette was never there. A workaholic, that he was sure he'd cease to appear anymore at all. Everette left East Falls through the cargo ship that transported caught sea-life from the towns market to Japan, leaving the chipped-paint front doors of his childhood home in the middle of the night to sneak onto the boarding dock. the events of a chinook having fallen upon the town the day he left, approaching a halcyon June morning. His footsteps seemed twice as loud in his ears, gradually dwindling as he approached the vast of sea. The ambience of the waves crashing over one another, assured him not of a day in the warm sun anymore. Moreso a grueling journey, that would shake and rattle and his empathetic heart.

-

Everette yielded a foolish young mind, inconsiderate of  all that he'd be forced to work for. As an undocumented Japanese immigrant, he had been offered a supermarket job by an American settler—a sailor who had washed ashore years ago after a shipwreck. He was a man with a beard traditional to the culture, about forty-eight years of age, assumed Everette. a little shorter than than the greek boy, a traditional kimono embraced his round form. He was wed to a local Japanese woman, though they bore no children. The man had spoken the native tongue, yet still identified American by every government labour law. It was leeway to pay scraps, though he accepted Everette under his wing upon his arrival. Under the others care, he pushed to enroll in language classes to aid him in the daunting task of upgrading his education—delaying his initial plans for university by a total of almost two years. Eventually, he receives the hard earned letter of admission from the university of Osaka, a page written in his own blood, sweat, and tears. Ending with his masters degree at twenty four, the possibility of returning to East-falls no longer appealed his favour. He explained this loosely, only once in a dusty journal. Stating, that he'd worked twice as hard to integrate into life abroad, feeling un-accommodated should he return. He mentioned growing to resent the poorish, limiting circumstances he'd been raised in. The air back home remained cold for a mere few months, occasionally lit by flame the more time that had passed. It marked the same month he left, Eleven years ago. He'd kept in contact with his family, though his letters unable to speak his hearty, warm voice. They arrived frigid in temperature, unable to carry his scent. Aaron became his most frequent penpal, showing interest in his bold venture. Even though that had been the most frequent subject of his letters, his messy handwriting could be occasionally made out to discuss sports, girls, family, and schooling. The last letter before Everette's return had talked about a girl named Dahlia. 

- 

His return was welcomed by his little brother, and the mass amounts of chocolate cupcakes he purchased. The same night he returned, he made the decision to stay in East Falls, applying to the hospital the second morning. Aaron and Everette were twenty-six and thirty-one by nineteen eighty four.

What position are you applying for? You may state a position that is not currently available, and it will be checked once that slot opens:

'Clinic Doctor.'

Why do you want to work on our team?:

'I grew up here, in East Falls. Money was tight thing for my family, so I had the ultimatum of studying abroad. Though, after finishing my degree It came to be fact that I would work much better in a smaller town environment, as I was raised in. Knowing every patient who walks in and having a good assumption of their needs without the excess questions. And of course, an expectation for myself to aid the community I pride myself on working within. There is a lot I can do with my training to uphold the people's vision of me.'

Provide a list of staff titles and their jobs/descriptions:

Clinic Lead:

A role responsible for the overall success of the clinic!

- Ensuring everything runs smoothly, and that staff are comfortable with the patients they recieve, vice versa.

- making sure their staff is adhering to healthcare regulations, and taking action about potential issues.

- Managing revenue, expenses, and profitability. 

Clinic Manager:

Day to day administrative tasks. Are not responsible for the team of Clinicians, however are responsible for:

- Monitoring and Managing administrative staff schedules.

- Checking if the clinic lacks resources, in charge of restocks and date checks.

- Addressing direct patient concerns, raising the issue to Clinic Lead if necessary.

Clinician Lead:

Overseers the clinician team, ensuring the care they provide is proper and of adequate quality.

- Analyze outcomes of care procedures, identify areas of improvement.

- Paying attention to patient safety, and creating limits on what their team can and cannot do.

- Support their clinician team, integrate new hires and continue to be teaching roles.

- Communicate between clinic manager and General practitioners.

- Can also treat patients themselves, bearing the same education as General practitioners yet holding more experience on their sleeves.

General Practitioner (GP) / Clinician:

General practitioners are doctors that are licensed to treat a broad spectrum of illnesses. They work underneath the overseer of Clinician leads. 

- Diagnosing and determining treatment options for an illness (eg. Specialist referrals, rehab, health education, managing chronic conditions)

- Prescribing and Medicating illnesses as seen fit. (eg. in detail treatment plans, medication reactivity and dosage)

- performing basic medical procedures (eg. suturing wounds, obtaining lab samples, draining abscesses)

- Preventive care (eg. vaccines, checkups, screenings)

Whilst in the hospital how should you and your co-workers behave? If you see something wrong, what should you do about it?:

'Professionally. They, including myself, are expected by directors, other higher ups, and especially our patients to keep on top of things within our roles. Including, but not limited to responsibilities to stay up to date on medical policies, updates from the U.S health organization, being in-detail with patient records and noting anything of significant importance. I also expect my colleagues to keep their practices ethical and efficient to ensure patients can get accurate care within a timely manner. I am willing to be a tool of support where they need it, and will correct or provide solution to their mistakes that I point out, rather than stating such plainly.'

What experience do you have working in a medical setting? If none, put N/A:

'I have participated as a volunteering phlebotomist three years in a row at an annual blood drive. It was hosted at a local medical research college residing not far from where I went to school myself, during the years I studied. I contracted to volunteer with a few of my friends from the same degree, and we would take over the afternoon shift after uni classes in the morning. I was given a small, cozy bloodwork office, and reckon most of all learning how to communicate in a medical setting, and training my comfortable techniques with needles.'

What responsibilities do you hold as a hospital staff member?:

'Of course, the responsibility of keeping a friendly and safe environment where my patients don't have to dwell on their choice of words before speaking. Maintaining a comfortable and judge-free environment has always been my personal biggest priority, however professionalism is also important. It helps me do my job efficiently and provide care as accurately as my ability will entail.'

How would you manage a patient that was being uncooperative or rowdy?:

'I believe I can understand that the clinic is not a place that induces positive emotions for everyone. Its important to practice the virtue of patience and communication skills, as speaking to patients in a tone that sounds even the slightest hostile can make things much more difficult. most, will not have the intention of troubling you, though simply act out of rash for distress reasons. I would offer breaks, and gradual explanations to my steps and how they aid me to conclude a diagnoses to possibly settle worry. It is okay to sacrifice some efficiency if it means a more comfortable experience for those visiting the clinic and dealing with debilitating symptoms.'

The paper ended with another message: “Thank you for taking the time to fill out this paper. We truly appreciate it! Before you can submit this, please sign the document!”
