Highlights from 04-18-2009 Bi-Weekly Staff Meeting

Here are the highlights from our staff meeting held on April 18th:

• Dr. Weatherwax is working with CPO Sachertorte from Engineering to create new equipment and rezzable rooms. As always, prim counts are at a premium and even more so with scripted items, so Dr. Weatherwax and Dr. Juran will work with Engineering to set prim parameter guidelines and utilize sculpties when possible.
• Dr. Weatherwax reported that he is developing an "interactino standard" for the devices used in Medical. For instance, as of now, the tricorders do not give the same information on the patient as the biobed biosigns; or, you may inject a crewman with your hypospray but the results do not show up in the fleet weapons HUD. An interactino standard can make the different devices interact in a meaningful way to inworld rp's. This would open up many more rp options beginning with Medical, but eventually spreading throughout GFC. This will take a great deal of time (not to mention know-how and dedication), but Dr. Weatherwax does believe it is possible to "Make It So!"
• Dr. Bourne reported on progress from Engineering with the MERSI rp collapsing building set. He is also exploring opportunities to rp with other GFC divisions.

Next meeting: Saturday, May 2nd, at 4:30pm SLT, at the McCoy-Troi Medical Center. We look forward to seeing you there!!

Medical Document Updates

Greeting all -

Just a quick post that our Medical Handbook ( http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=d87mg5z_16pk4c75gh ) is in the process of being revised, to incorporate the updated structure in the division. The restructure information is currently available at http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=d87mg5z_2fjpq6ncr, but once the new version 4.0 of the Medical Handbook is completed, we will remove that.

Please keep up the great energy and contributions... you folks make GFC Medical the best team in the Fleet :-)

- Dr. Juran

Highlights from 04-04-2009 Bi-Weekly Staff Meeting

Here are highlights from our most recent staff meeting:

New department appointments announced by Dr. Journey Juran, CMO:

• Dr. Da5id Weatherwax was named Director of Medical Technology.
• Chief w0mbaT Braveheart was named Supervisor at GFC Medical, making him second lead after Dr. Akina (ACMO).

Congratulations to both!

Briefly discussed Dr. Pax Forwzy's MEAP (Medical Activities Enhancement Program) ideas. This would enhance social and Trek-themed activities within GFC and hopefully bring in new recruits.

The new tricorder is nearing final stages and soon to be released as an addition to our medkits. Thank you's to Dr. Juran and Dr. Weatherwax.

Next meeting: April 18, 2009, 4:30pm SLT

Back in the saddle....er, Fleet, again

We have many activities on-going and planned in Medical, as well as a new organizational structure. That means we need to jump-start our blog so the information, much like the Spice in Dune, will flow. Dr. Juran will be posting here frequently, and I will begin reporting highlights from our meetings again, as well as any other pertinent department information.

Any division leads within the department who want posting privileges, please let me know your gmail address, and we'll give you posting access. If you don't have a gmail address, you'll need to get one, as we use Google Blogger for our blog.

If you are in charge of any special projects and would like to post, we can also give you posting privileges.

Two reminders to everyone:

1. You may read or comment without being registered; if you are unable to do so, let me know and we can make any necessary technical changes.


2. All comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism are welcome, but let's remember to use the [paraphrased] Golden Rule - Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Lastly, on a personal note, I'd like to give a loud, heart-felt THANK YOU for the warmth and support that all of you have given me since my return. I can't begin to put into words how much it has meant.

Highlights from the 12-13-08 Medical Staff Meeting

The meeting opened a bit later, due to several medical members discussing certain... 'medical problems'. Yes, let's keep it at that. However, when we did begin, Dr. Juran announced that there were only a few things to be said.

* Dr. Juran asked every medical member to visit at least one of the balls. They're saturday 20th at 2 PM and 10 PM SLT, and sunday 21st at 9 AM SLT. Let's make sure we have a good medical deligation showing up, shall we?

* The good CMO also called forward Arno Menkez. Due to his extra-ordinary work within Medical, Mr. Menkez was promoted to Petty Officer 1st class. Congratulations, Arno!

* Doctor Weatherwax reported that he's working closely with Tactical in order to bring back the Medical experts: the ones who heal the injured participants of the Tactical events. There are some problems with the current version, but once Tactical updates to a new version, there will be more opportunities to use dermal regenerators and other medical gadgets to heal those unfortunate souls.

* Another fortunous event happened during this meeting: Ensign Kieran Braveheart was finally given his Medical diploma, and could, from now on, call himself a doctor. Congratulations, Doctor Braveheart!



* And finally, Doctor Bourne reported on the status of MERSI: There will most likely be a training every wednesday afternoon. People are encouraged to contact Doctor Bourne to give a time when they'd be able to train.

And that's it for this meeting. All that's left in saying now, is Thank You, for your dedication to the Medical subdivision!
