Medicine is an item used in doctoring.

Acquisition

Medicine can either be purchased from traders, looted from raiders, or crafted at a drug lab using: cloth (x3), herbal medicine and neutroamine (skill requirement: medicine 6+ and crafting 3+. As of Alpha 17, the pawn must also be capable of intellectual work).

Efficiency

Superior to herbal medicine but inferior to glitterworld medicine.

Best used for treating diseases and infections; misused if for standard injuries (unless a colonist is bleeding out faster than the herbal medicine completes to patch the wound).

Good enough for surgical operations in many cases, with a low chance of failure. If the doctor is bionic-enhanced, trauma savant or drug-enhanced then you can guarantee 100% success rate for most surgeries.

It is adequate against plague and malaria with ordinary beds so long as the patients are resting full time, well-fed, constantly treated and the doctor is healthy with medicine skill 8+.

+Medicine is an item used in [[doctoring]].
-'''Medicine''' is used to improve outcomes when treating a colonist's [[injury]](s), to remove or install body parts/replacements, and to build hospital beds.
+== Acquisition ==
+Medicine can either be purchased from traders, looted from [[raider]]s, or crafted at a [[drug lab]] using: [[cloth]] (x3), herbal medicine and [[neutroamine]] (skill requirement: medicine 6+ ''and'' crafting 3+. As of Alpha 17, the pawn must also be capable of intellectual work).
-Healing is done by colonists with the [[Skills#Medicine|medicine]] skill enabled. The patient needs to have [[Overview#Patient|patient]] enabled and be in a bed. Medicine is not required, but will '''improve the chance of a good treatment''' drastically, allow for the '''healing of multiple small injuries in one go''' and '''double the amount of experience gained''' by the doctor.
+== Efficiency ==
+Superior to [[herbal medicine]] but inferior to [[glitterworld medicine]].
-'''Good Treatment''' doubles a colonist's heal rate and reduces the chance of any lasting effect from an injury.
+Best used for treating diseases and infections; misused if for standard injuries (unless a colonist is bleeding out faster than the herbal medicine completes to patch the wound).
-As doctoring greatly depends on consciousness, sight and manipulation, having a doctor with bionic eyes and hands greatly improves the effectiveness of your medicine.
+Good enough for surgical operations in many cases, with a low chance of failure. If the doctor is bionic-enhanced, trauma savant or drug-enhanced then you can guarantee 100% success rate for most surgeries.

-The table above describes the importance of a doctors consciousness, sight and manipulation. For example: if a doctor has only 75% manipulation, his healing quality and healing speed is reduced by 25% * 90% = 22.5%, while his surgery success chance is reduced by 25% * 40% = 10%.

This is the only medicine that can be obtained via farming [[Healroot]], generally making it very useful for new colonies with limited silver.
