A guide for the Neurotrauma mod that covers every symptom, cause, treatment and procedure that you might encounter while playing

Remember to always wear a helmet!

Grasping how the human body functions – or malfunctions – can take some time.

This guide aims to provide crucial information for aspiring medical doctors until they have gathered enough experience.

Doctors should always keep a medical scanner on their person – you won’t know exactly what’s causing all the symptoms of your patient unless you scan them (or you have extensive knowledge)!

First aid kits for expeditions

should contain the following (more suitable items are on the left):

Plastiseal or bandages
Sutures
At least one tourniquet
Blood packs (preferably O-), ringer’s solution, saline or adrenaline
Calyxanide
Antiparalyzant

It is recommended to also bring the following on an expedition:

A fully decked out surgery kit -> 13: Surgical procedures and you
