Medical



M.O.S.: Medical This M.O.S. is common to doctors, nurses, and medics within the military. Medics are stationed on the front lines, usually part of an ordinary unit, charged with not only emergency field procedures, but also with setting up blood donation systems when artificial supplies run out. Doctors, of course, are the surgeons who work in the rear, either in a permanent enclave (such as the many military and VA hospitals in the States themselves) or in M.A.S.H. units. Nurses generally assist doctors, or deal directly with the patients on a day to day basis. Note that the modern-day gender bias which assumes doctors to be male and nurses to be female is not present in the military while doctors are automatically officers (and usually come from Lofty families who could afford their schooling), nurses do not have the same privileges. Many with the Medical M.O.S. also work with A.I. Programed for triage.

It is worth noting that few with the Medical M.O.S. begin a private practice once out of the military. They are not prevented from doing so, but the health-care system of the military government leaves little room for independent practice (save for those who are willing to work illegally, or have contacts in the upper levels of society).
