Surgical Procedures
Surgery operates on the same persistent anatomy used by combat, wounds,
cyberware, severance and death. Organs and installed hardware are physical
state, not abstract bonuses.
The current procedure verbs are:
incise <target> at <location>
Open an incision when deeper access is required.
harvest <organ> from <target>
Remove a harvestable organ from a compatible body container.
install <organ> in <target>
Install a carried harvested organ into the appropriate anatomy.
suture <target>
suture <target>'s <location>
Close all open incisions or one selected incision.
A surgical kit is required where the procedure command requires one.
Incisions, organ condition, wounds and organ-bound conditions remain part of
the persistent medical/anatomy substrate.
Procedure chart
operate <target>
opens the persistent surgical-chart workflow. The chart can be saved and
continued later by another surgeon. In the current implementation the chart
cleanly resolves unconscious, dead and severed targets; the direct procedure
verbs own the current conscious-patient trust/consent checks.
The chart is not a second medical simulation. It orchestrates the same
physical procedure state used by the direct verbs.
