+===== Basic In-game Medical Process =====
+This will be short and sweet, unlike the rest of this page, because you should already be acquainted with the UI and all the tools at your disposal. As a result, telling you the order to use them in doesn't take a whole lot of real estate.
+**Step 1: Assess the casualty.** Unconscious or not? If unconscious, do they have a heart rate? If they don't have a heart rate, they're in cardiac arrest, and you need to get someone doing CPR on them straight away. What types of wounds do they have? How will you treat them? Is the casualty's heart rate or blood pressure substantially different from the nominal?
+**Step 2: Stabilize the casualty.** Implement your plan. Use the resources at your disposal to tourniquet and/or bandage all wounds. Make sure to call out what you're treating if you're working in tandem with a helper.
+**Step 3: Finalize the casualty.** Use your surgical kit to stitch wounds so they won't reopen. Use fluids, if necessary, to restore fluid volume. Use medications to affect the casualty's vitals (more on vitals later) as needed.
+Now move on to the next casualty and repeat the process.
+Make sure to bark at the peasants (riflemen) nearby to make them hold security while you move and work.
