Classroom 3

[Regina Richwald]

*Regina walks into Classroom 3 not expecting to find any cadets*

"That has been a long time, I was standing here, but nothing has changed.

*She tries to snort the smell of the class.*

"Even the smell is the same, the only different is, then I was behind the tables and now I am in front of it. Years flowing by like days, days flowing by like hours."

*At that moment she noticed cadet Hobson*

"Goodmorning Cadet, I didnt notice you."

i am ready to move on sir

OOC: You may take the avatar/uniform of Cadet, 1 pip
----

"Welcome Cadet. I believe there was one more cadet for this course, I will check in with that. You may take a seat, I will wait only a short time".

[Ali'aln Tulak]

Can I submit everything to you at once, sir? Or would you like it in different posts?

[Tom Hobson]

"Excellent, both of you are correct. Moving on now".

The screen changed to more information.

llness and Diseases Altarian encephalitis A retrovirus that incorporates its DNA directly into the cells of its host. The virus can lie dormant for years, but activate without warning. Victims are pyrexic and comatose and suffer from widespread synaptic degradation. Long term memory, usually from the moment of infection, is destroyed. Achilles fever Deadly disease capable of spreading rapidly in a planetary population and causing widespread and painful deaths in the millions. Arethian Flever Viral disease. Andronesian encephalitis A disease transmitted by air borne particles Aphasia Dysfunction of certain brain centers affecting the ability to communicate in a coherent manner. Different forms of aphasia exist Atherosclerosis A pathological condition in some humanoid species characterized by the hardening of the arteries and accompanied by the deposit of fat in the inner arterial walls. Progressive Atherosclerosis could necessitate replacing the aorta. Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome An intron virus that causes humanoids and other animals to develop structural and behavioral characteristics of earlier evolutionary forms. Ba'ltmasor Syndrome A disease that plagued Klingon exobiologist J'Ddan. He required regular treatments, given by injection, for the problem Bendii Syndrome A rare illness that sometimes affects Vulcans over the age of 200. The disease is characterized by gradual loss of emotional control; victims exhibit sudden bursts of emotion and irrational anger. Diagnosis is made by culturing tissue from the patient's metathalamus. A dangerous side effect of Bendii Syndrome is that the loss of emotional control can be telepathically projected to others. Cartalian Fever A deadly viral plague. Cholera Acute infectious enteritis, common on Earth in the 19th and 20th centuries, caused by the organism Vibrio cholerae. Cold, Common An infection of the upper respiratory tract caused by any of over 200 viruses in many humanoid species. By the 24th century the common cold was a curable ailment. Correllium fever A disease that broke out on the planet Nahmi IV in 2366. Darnay's disease A deadly ailment that attacks the brain and nervous system of its victims. Dorek Syndrome A very rare and incurable disease that afflicts one out of every five million Ferengi. Enantiodromia Psychological term that literally means conversion into the opposite. Eosinophilia An abnormally high count of serum eosinophilis, a type of white blood cell in humanoids. Forrester-Trent Syndrome Degenerative neurological disorder. It is very rare, but if left untreated, can result in paralysis and even death. The syndrome is usually hereditary but can be activated by a random mutation. A neurostabilization regimen can stabilize or reverse the disease. Fostossa Virus Disease organism. Fostossa virus was epidemic on Bajor during the Cardassian occupation, killing thousands of Bajorans. A cure for the disease was developed by Dr. Crell Moset, but only after extensive experimentation on Bajoran prisoners, resulting in the painful death of many of those unwilling subjects. Hemocythemia medical condition in which intercellular pressures are unstable. This condition was also called Hemocythemic Imbalance and could be treated with osmotic pressure therapy. Hesperan Thumping Cough A flu like affliction. Holodiction Contraction for holodeck addiction. A psychological condition where an individual becomes so caught up in holographic simulations that the real world becomes unimportant. Holotransference Dementia Syndrome (HTDS) medical condition in which a person becomes so disoriented within a holographic simulation that they lose their sense of identity and start to think that they are part of the program. Hyperacceleration Biochemical condition that plagued the people of the planet Scalos due to radiation permeating their water supply. Hyperacceleration of biological processes caused an individual so affected to experience one second as if it were an entire hour. Outsiders who were accelerated quickly burned out, dying in a very short period of time due to cell damage. To a normal, nonaccelerated person, a Scalosian sounded very much like an insect. Iresine Syndrome A very rare neurological disorder in humanoids characterized by a peculiar electropathic signature in the thalamus, and a severely decreased histamine count. Victims of the disorder, first identified in the 23rd century, would fall suddenly into a coma for approximately 72 hours. Diagnosis could be confused by the presense of any of 22 different substances that left electropathic residue resembling that of this disorder. Iverson's disease A chronic disease that causes fatal degeneration of muscular functions in humans. Iverson's disease does not, however, impair mental functions. There is no known cure for the condition. Kalla-Nohra Syndrome Chronic pulmonary disease found only in individuals exposed to a mining accident at Gallitep, a Bajoran labor camp run by the Cardassians.There are no known instances of anyone not involved with that mining accident contracting the disease, so a positive diagnosis makes it virtually certain that an individual has been at that infamous death camp. Lacunar amnesia Type of amnesia that occurs when a patient witnesses an act of violence so terrible that the patient rejects the reality of the situation. Larosian virus Mild disorder Morphogenic virus A virus engineered by Section 31 with the intent of killing the Founders who link with Odo. In 2372, The main symptom is a decreasing ability to shapeshift, accompanied by pain and peeling skin; the progress is accelerated by frequent shapeshifting and in the final stage of the disease, the Changeling cannot revert back to liquid state at all and die in a solid form. The cure for the disease contains a nucleotide marking sequence consisting of adanine, asporadine, lytastolanine, and radanine. Neural depletion Complete loss of electrochemical energy of a humanoid brain, resulting in the death of the victim. Neural metaphasic shock A potentially fatal failure of the neurological system in humanoids. Nitrogen Narcosis Also known as ""Rapture of the Deep,"" nitrogen narcosis was a hazard of 20th century Earth deep-sea diving. It was caused by the replacement of oxygen in oxyhemoglobin with nitrogen. The resultant anoxia produced disorientation, hallucinations, and lack of judgment in the victims. The phenomenon is similar to temporal narcosis. Orket's disease A childhood virus that swept through Bajoran work camps during the Occupation. It killed thousands of Bajoran children. Phyrox Plague A disease that broke out on the planet Cor Caroli V. The crew of the Enterprise-D was successful in eradicating the plague in 2366. Starfleet Command classified the incident as Secret. Plasma plague A group of deadly virus types. An unclassified but extremely virulent strain of plasma plague threatened the densely populated Rachelis system in 2365. Significant research into plasma plague was conducted by Dr. Susan Nuress in 2295 in response to a similar outbreak on the planet Obi VI. One mutated strain developed during Nuress's research was found to grow more rapidly when exposed to eichner radiation. Pottrik Syndrome Disease that Aamin Marritza claimed to have, which was similar to Kalla-Nohra Syndrome, and was even treated by the same medication. A lower pulmonary bioprobe for Pottrick Syndrome shows up as negative whereas for Kalla-Norha, it shows up as positive. Psi 2000 Virus A water based disease organism originally found on the planet Psi 2000 in 2266. This virus infected members of the Federation science team stationed on that planet, causing suppression of their inhibitions, and ultimately their deaths. Transmitted through human perspiration, the virus later infected members of the Enterprise crew, resulting in the near destruction of the starship when infected crew member Kevin Riley disabled the ship's engines while it was in orbit around the disintegrating planet. Radiohumeral Bursitis The inflammation of the muscles attached to the epicondyle of the humorous of the human forearm. The inflammation was caused by the stress of striking the ball with a racquet in the ancient sport of tennis. Rigelian fever Deadly disease resembling bubonic plague. Known antidote is ryetalyn Rigelian Kassaba Fever As a ruse to regain control of the Enterprise in 2268 when commandeered by the Kelvans, Dr. McCoy claimed that Spock suffered from Rigelian Kassaba fever and required treatment with Stokaline injections. Rop'ngor A disease that sometimes affects Klingon children, somewhat akin to terrestrial measles. Rushton Infection Disease Sakuro's disease An extremely rare disease contracted by Commissioner Nancy Hedford which can cause intense fever, weakness, and death if not treated. Ssomatophysical failure In humanoid physiology, the collapse of all bodily systems. Stockholm Syndrome In psychology, the tendency for hostages to sympathize with their captors after extended captivity. Streptacochlial-bola-spongiform-diadinate Sneezing, Shortness of breath, Red-Blue-Green spots, Blurring vision, Hallucinations, Increased aggression, illogical activity, Loss of motor control, Paranoia and Delusions of Grandeur. The Virus eats away at the body, traveling along the nervous system and blood vessels. The body is unable to fight off the infection and normal antidotes are in-effective. Placing the patient in stasis has little or no discernable effects. It attacks only bodies with certain "T"cells common to all species. Incubation period is between 2 -8 days then the first symptoms appear. In later stages the patient has weeping sores that expand, this can take anything from a few days to three weeks to occur. In the final stage the victim displays remarkable logic and clear thoughts almost tripling their intelligence. This stage lasts no more than forty minutes before the patient convulses and dies. The body then disintegrates to a mushy pulp and after twenty minutes leaves no traces. Symbalene blood burn Virulent disease that can rapidly kill a large number of people in a very short period of time. Synthococcus novae Bacillus strain organism, a by-product of modern technology. Although treatable, the deadly bacillus was regarded as a significant health hazard. Tahiti Syndrome Twentieth century term or a human longing for a peaceful, idyllic natural setting when suffering from the stresses of modern life. Telurian plague A terrible disease that was still incurable in the 2360s. Temporal narcosis Delirium produced by exposure to a temporal disturbance. Tennis elbow Twentieth century Earth slang for radiohumeral bursitis. The inflammation of the muscles attached to the epicondyle of the humerus of the human forearm. The inflammation was caused by the stress of striking the ball with a racquet in the ancient sport of tennis. Thelusian flu An exotic but harmless rhinovirus. Transporter psychosis Rare medical disorder caused by a breakdown of neurochemical molecules during transport. Transporter psychosis was first diagnosed in 2209 by researchers on the planet Delinia II. The condition affected the body's motor functions, as well as autonomic systems and higher brain functions. Victims were found to suffer from paranoid delusions, multi-infarct dementia, tactile and visual hallucinations, and psychogenic hysteria. Peripheral symptoms included sleeplessness, accelerated heart rate, myopia, muscular spasms, and dehydration. The problem was eliminated around 2319 with the development of the multiplex pattern buffer. Tuvan syndrome A degenerative, incurable neurological disease which affects mainly Vulcans, Romulans, and Rigellians. In the very early stages, the patient's eyelids are slightly displaced, facial muscles are weakened, and respiration is irregular. Loss of motor skills occurs in 10-15 years; life expectancy is 20-25 years. In less than 5% of cases, the disease can accelerate without warning. Vegan choriomeningitis Rare and deadly disease. Symptoms include high fever, pain in the extremities, delirium, and death if not treated within 24 hours. Xenopolycythemia Disease characterized by an abnormal proliferation of red blood cells causing varied symptoms including weakness, fatigue, enlarged spleen, and pain in the extremities. Yarim-Fel syndrome A terminal illness affecting Cardassians; it attacks the digestive tract, circulatory and respiratory systems, and cartilaginous tissues. It can be treated with hexagen therapy or neuro-regeneration procedures, but there is apparently no cure. Zanthi fever A virus affecting the empathic abilities of "mature" Betazoids. It causes brief, intense headaches, during which the sufferer unconsciously projects his or her emotions onto others nearby, provided those emotions already exist in those others subconsciously. Fortunately, the sufferer is easily cured with a simple wide-spectrum antibiotic, and the effects on other people wear off in a day or two. Zintels Disease See Streptacochlial-bola-spongiform-diadinate

"These are the illnesses you may encounter. Pay close attention to them, study them well. If you can see where this is going, the next information will be equipment. So at the end of this, you will know the Chemicals, Illnesses, and Equipment, then expected to know how to treat the illnesses with what chemicals and equipment. Study this close".

Hobson handed each Cadet a blank PADD.

"Cadet Navi, answer me these two questions. What signs might you see in a patient affected by Aphasia? What might you do with a patient with conditions of Iverson's Syndrome?

Cadet Coho, two for you. How would you treat Holodiction? How might you treat a patient with conditions of Xenopolycythemia?".

Hobson awaited the Cadets' answers.

[Tom Hobson]

Hobson returned to the training holodeck, the two Cadets entered shortly after from their time off duty.
"Cadets ,welcome back. We will now continue your hands on training".
The holodeck loaded a scenario that now placed the Cadets in the Sickbay of an Intrepid class starship.
"This is a slightly larger sickbay than the Defiant class as we did yesterday. The situation here, one injured patient that suffers from a deep leg wound from a phaser missfire. A second patient complains of a headache. Cadet Coho, you are the chief medical officer in this simulation. Cadet Navi is your assistant. Begin".
Hobson stepped back for the Cadets to begin.

[Tom Hobson]

"Very good. Now we will move to the final training simulation. One patient, on a Starbase. This patient is ranked at Fleet Admiral. He has just suffered from a massive heart attack, a result from a genetic heart diesease. He has a 10% chance of survival. You are both in charge of the infirmary at this shift, and will work together to deal with this situation. Begin".

Hobson gave the command to begin the simulation, but did not step back this time. He remained next to the Cadets to observe.

[Tom Hobson]

"Cadet Montez, if you will re enter the classroom, and take the PADDS sitting there to review, report to me when you have thouroughly studied them. I believe we are preparing you to take over as instructor for this course? If that is so, we will go over in detail after these cadets complete. You will intern in instruction for them as they enter the last part of their course. You have your assignments".
Hobson turned back to continue observations of the simulation.

[Mike Nickerson]

(OFF: Sorry for my late reply.)

"Hmm, not the answer I was looking for, but good judgement, none the less. If there is a way to get the person to some kind of medical facility, that should be done first. But, assuming no such facility is in reach, what would you do?"

[firebird113]

"ensign mark and cadet hobson walk into the classroom after meeting with frank gorden "

so cadet hobson being it is so late in the day - how would you like to take the rest of the day off and we will start in the morning.

[firebird113]

09:00 hours

mark headed for the holodeck

[zack1392]

Edit By Hobson: Pass! 10 out of 10

"An Intelligence vessel, interesting choice. I will contact Rear Admiral Reed".

OOC: Ok..The Mannon has just started its mission I think. Theres no reason to make you wait for it to be over. You can report in the Mannon mission thread, act as though you've been there all along, simply in sickbay doing nothing untill now. Have fun!

[Ali'aln Tulak]

What other questions are there, sir?

[Tom Hobson]

OOC: Cadet Navi, you can take the Cadet C1 Avatar in your control panel http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Hobson walked into the room quickly, and took place at a metallic podium at the front of the room.
"Welcome, Cadets. I am Admiral Thomas Hobson. We have no other instructor open for this course, so I will be working with you myself".
He hit a control on his podium, and the front room wall became a large screen.

"You are here to prepare for your Starfleet career here in the Delta Quadrant. Specifically in the field of Medical. You will graduate from this and enter that department to be a Medical officer with your rank of Ensign. Low rank? To some. But to you, it will be an accomplishment. No rank is meaningless in this fleet, if you make Ensign, you have earned it. Now...to get started".

The screen in the front of the room came up with text information:

Quote

Anesthezine: A sedative gas used for emergency crowd control and to subdue dangerous persons. Acetycholine: a biochemical substance, a neurotransmitter that promotes the propagation of electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another in carbon-based life. Benjusidrine: a drug prescribed for Vulcans with heart conditions. Cordrazine: a powerful and addictive stimulant used to treat serious electrical burns, and also known to revive a stunned or unconscious patient. Overdose Treatment: Kayolene can be administered to sedate the patient, until the overdose diffuses out of the bodies system naturally(6 hrs). Overdose can be diagnosed from episodes of delusional paranoia. Endorphins: Naturally occurring neurochemicals found in many humanoids and other vertebrate species. Endorphins are opiate peptides similar to the drug morphine, and can act upon the nervous system to affect sensations of pain and pleasure. Hyronalyn: medication that was the treatment of choice for radiation sickness. by introducing hyronalin vapor into the ship's ventilation system. Hyronalin was the treatment of choice by 2267, and was still in use by Starfleet in the 24th century. Hytritium: Naturally occurring. Only known cure for tricyanate contamination of water supplies. Highly volatile. Inaprovaline: Cardio-stimulatory pharmaceutical usually administered intravenously by hypospray. Kayolane: A sedative Leporazine: A resuscitative drug in use aboard Federation starships Masiform D: Powerful injectable stimulant. Melorazine: Sedative, often administered by hypospray. Neural paralyzer: medication that can cause a cessation of heartbeat and breathing in a humanoid patient, creating the appearance of death. If such a patient receives medical treatment in time, a full recovery is possible. Tricordrazine: A powerful neurostimulant drug usually administered subcutaneous by hypospray.

"Study this for a moment. Which chemical would you keep a close limit to? Which would you apply if the warp drive spread radiation to the inner ship?".
