Plan:

sickbay

The sickbay of U.S.S. Voyager is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a radical new departure for Starfleet ships - The Emergency Medical Hologram.

The sickbay of the U.S.S. Voyager is located on deck 5 along with the doctor's office, sensor gear and escape pod access. As the starship's medical centre; serving the 150 crew members, it has th standard equipment one would expect to find on one of Starfleet's finest ships. This includes a surgical centre, recovery units and specialised treatment rooms as well as a full stock of medical instruments, equipments and drugs. Sickbay contains three standard beds and a biobed; each of the biobeds is equipped with medical sensors that constantly monitor the condition of the patient. Monitor readouts are at the bed's foot as well as its head.

The doctor's office is to one side of the main sickbay ward. It is a drumshaped room with a clear wall that can look out into the main area, allowing medical staff to keep a close eye on their patients at all times. On the other side of the office is a fully equipped medial laboratory.

The Emergency Medical Hologram, one of the latest pieces of technology the U.S.S. voyager possesses, has turned out to be one of the most vital. The EMH is programmed with the knowledge of hundreds of organic doctors from across the federation, including the biological and sociological features of many races; it is intended to be a short term replacement for, or supplemental to, a 'real' medical officer. However when the U.S.S. Voyager is brought to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, all the medical personel, including the cheif medical officer and the head nurse are killed. Because the ship is so far from home, Voyager has no way of replacing these crew members. The EMH, working far beyond its design parameters, has has become a permanent member of the crew.
