-The Advanced Medical System (AMS) is largely similar to the [[[ACE Medical Basic|Basic Medical System (BMS)]]  but adds more depth and complexity, especially medics.
-===== Wound Types =====
-The AMS categorises wounds by specific type instead of simply as Minor or Major, as the BMS does. **As you can see, only Avulsions and Velocity Wounds are imminently life threatening.**
-^ Type           ^ Description                ^ Pain           ^ Bleeding
-| Avulsion       | Tissue ripped away         | Extreme        | Extreme
-| Velocity       | Bullet / shrapnel wounds   | Extreme        | Medium
-| Laceration     | Tears                      | Light          | Light to Medium
-| Cuts           | Cuts                       | Light          | Depends on size
-| Crush          | Crush injury               | Light          | Extremely light
-| Puncture       | Knives, nails, glass       | Light          | Slow
-| Contusion      | Bruise                     | Light          | None
-| Abrasion       | Scrapes                    | Extremely Light| Extremely light
-===== Diagnosis =====
-==== Responsive ====
-//Accessed from: Head//\\
-Tells you if the patient is responsive.
-==== Check Blood Pressure ====
-//Accessed from: Head, Arms//\\
-Tells you the blood pressure of the patient.
-==== Check pulse ====
-//Accessed from: Head, Arms//\\
-Tells you the pulse of the patient.
-===== Treatment =====
-==== Bandage ====
-//Accessed from: Arms, Legs//\\
-Every part of the body can be bandaged if wounded. As in the BMS, head wounds are generally the most serious wounds when bleeding, then torsos and finally limbs. **When bandaging choose them bandage best suited to the wound type. If in doubt, use a packing bandage** (as this is most effective against the two most dangerous wounds).
-=== Bandage Effectiveness Cheat Sheet ===
-^ Bandage Type   ^ Abrasion    ^ Avulsion  ^ Contusion  ^ Crush    ^ Cut     ^ Laceration  ^ Velocity  ^ Puncture
-| Basic          | Highest     | Low       | Highest    | Medium   | Low     | High        | Low       | Medium
-| Packing        | Highest     | Highest   | Highest    | Medium   | Lowest  | Low         | Highest   | Low
-| Elastic        | Highest     | Low       | Highest    | Highest  | Highest | Highest     | Medium    | Highest
-| QuikClot       | High        | Lowest    | High       | High     | High    | High        | High      | Medium
-==== Tourniquet ====
-//Accessed from: Arms, Legs//\\
-**Tourniquets can be applied to arms and legs to slow bleeding from them when wounded**. Only use this as a stop gap while you bandage and remove as soon as possible. Prolonged used of a tourniquet will cause pain to the patient.
-==== Autoinjectors ====
-Autoinjectors are **used to manage pain and heart rate**.
-=== Morphine ===
-//Accessed from: Arms, Legs//\\
-  * Suppresses pain.\\
-  * Lowers blood pressure\\
-  * Lowers heart rate\\
-=== Epinephrine ===
-//Accessed from: Arms, Legs//\\
-  * Raise heart rate\\
-=== Atropine ===
-//Accessed from: Arms, Legs//\\
-  * Lower heart rate\\
-==== IVs ====
-IVs are **used to increase blood pressure**.\\
-//Accessed from: Arms, Legs//\\
-All IVs increase blood pressure.
-==== Step by Step Treatment ====
-**Keeping the patient's vitals stable is your first priority.**
-Step 1: Is the patient responsive?
-  * Yes: Ask him if he has wounds / he is in pain and act accordingly.
-  * No: Go to step 2.
-Step 2: Is the patient wounded?
-  * Yes: Treat the wounds.
-  * No: Skip this step.
-Step 3: Does the patient have a pulse?
-  * Yes: Go to step 4.
-  * No: If you are alone provide CPR, if you have someone else get him to do CPR while you treat the patient's wounds. Skip to step 4 or 5 depending on the situation.
-Step 4: Did the patient lose a lot of blood?
-  * Yes: Use IVs to restore the volume of liquid in the blood stream of the patient.
-  * No: Skip this step.
-Step 5: Is the patient in pain?
-  * Yes and stable pulse: Give him morphine.
-  * Yes and unstable heart rate: Stabilize the heart rate before administrating morphine.
-  * No: You're done.
-Step 6: is the patient awake now?
-  * Yes: You're done.
-  * No: Stabilize his pulse / make sure he isn't in pain or missing blood.
