ROLE-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS & MEDICAL TRIVIA
[This section is dedicated to testing your knowledge on the medical field.]
-
What role would you prefer and why?:
Physician
I prefer the role of Physician. It stands out to me because it encourages me to explore the role in depth and understand what a day-to-day practice entails. I wasn’t able to formally study medicine in real life, so this role gives me a chance to learn and grow as I go
Do you have any prior experience with MedicalRP?:

Are you aware that with MedicalRP comes the possibility of encountering possibly triggering topics?:
I am aware and acknowledge this.
I can coordinate well with a team, as I prefer when things are planned and organized. Otherwise, it can become a ness. I’m willing to step forward and take initiative when needed, both in-character and out-of-character, to ensure smooth teamwork and reach a result every party would be happy with.
MEDICAL TRIVIA
(PHYSIOLOGY)
If someone is experiencing a reaction to food poisoning, what is the correct way to manage and treat the symptoms?:
The first thing I’d do is check out the patient’s symptoms, things like nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and fever, to understand how serious the situation is. After that, my main focus would be on preventing dehydration, since that’s often what makes food poisoning particularly dangerous. If their symptoms seem mild and they can keep fluids down, I’d recommend sipping on water or an oral rehydration solution, along with a bland diet and some rest once they’re stable enough to head home. However, if they’re struggling to keep anything down or if their symptoms look more severe, I’d switch to IV fluids and monitor them closely. Depending on what we discover, medication will be described to take.
What procedure would you follow if you witness a patient experiencing a seizure?:
If I saw a patient having a seizure, the first thing I’d do is make sure the area around them is clear (move anything sharp or hard that could injure them). If there’s a bed, stretcher, or patient room nearby, I’d try to get them onto it gently, but if not I’d carefully lower them to the floor so they don’t hit anything. I’d turn them onto their side so they can breathe easier and avoid choking on spit or vomit, and protect their head with something soft (like a pillow, folded jacket, or anything nearby). At the same time, I’d keep an eye on their breathing and vitals (chest rising, color, pulse) and call for emergency meds if needed (Lorazepam), ready to administer once it’s safe. I’d also note the duration of the seizure, since that can matter for further care. After the seizure ends, I’d stay with them, check responsiveness, breathing, and vitals again.
What procedure would you follow if a patient that has entered the hospital has a broken forearm?:
If a patient comes in with a suspected broken forearm, first I’d quickly assess the situation by bringing them into an available then begin to inspect (look for obvious deformity, swelling, bruising, open wounds, or numbness). I’d make sure they’re stable overall, check circulation, sensation, and movement in the hand and fingers (to make sure nothing worse is going on!). Next, I’d immobilize the arm as best I can and support it in a comfortable position, keeping it elevated if possible. I’d control any bleeding if it’s an open fracture (apply gentle pressure with a clean dressing!), but avoid moving the bone too much. I’d then make sure pain management is in place (ice packs, maybe meds per protocol), keep the patient calm, and get them ready for imaging (X-ray) and formal treatment, after confirming the forearm is broken, I’d proceed by applying a cast or performing a reduction, depending on how severe the fracture is.
What procedure would you follow if a patient enters the hospital struggling to breathe?:
If a patient comes in struggling to breathe, the first thing I’d do is quickly assess how severe it is and make sure they’re safe while getting help. For example a mild case is If they’re breathing fast or sounding wheezy but still able to speak, I’d have them sit upright to make breathing easier, loosen any tight clothing, and monitor oxygen levels if a pulse oximeter is available. I’d keep them calm, ask about allergies, asthma, or recent illness, and be ready to provide supplemental oxygen or meds per protocol (like a bronchodilator). While a severe case is If they’re gasping, struggling to speak, turning blue, or showing signs of distress, I’d act immediately, call a code or emergency response, ensure they’re upright if possible, and provide high-flow oxygen. I’d monitor vitals constantly, be ready for advanced airway support if needed (bag-mask ventilation or intubation by trained staff), and keep them safe and calm while waiting for full medical intervention. In all cases, I’d stay with the patient, continuously observing their breathing, color, and responsiveness, and adjust actions as the situation evolves.
(PSYCHIATRY)
A patient is experiencing a panic attack before an important procedure. How would you assist the patient?
If a patient is having a panic attack before a procedure, the first thing I’d do is keep them calm and stay with them. I’d encourage them to sit down if they’re standing and take slow, deep breaths with me. I’d speak in a calm, reassuring tone, letting them know they’re safe and that I’ll be with them through the procedure. I’d ask simple questions on what they feel wrong or unsafe to reassure them and to help bring them back to the present, and remind them that it’s normal to feel nervous and that their feelings won’t hurt them. I’d avoid pushing them to “snap out of it” or overwhelming them with too much information, instead giving small, clear instructions. If they have coping tools or techniques that work for them, like a stress ball, music, or breathing exercises, I’d encourage that. I’d also stay alert for signs that the panic is worsening or if they’re becoming physically unsafe (dizziness, fainting), and be ready to get medical help if needed.
A belligerent patient in the middle of a psychotic episode stumbles into the emergency room. What should you do?
If a belligerent patient in the middle of a psychotic episode walks in, my first priority would be safety! Safety for the patient, and safety for everyone around them. I’d make sure the area around them is clear of objects they could grab or trip over (chairs, trash, anything lying around), and keep a safe distance while carefully, carefully observing their behavior. I’d try to use a calm, non-threatening tone to engage them, avoid sudden movements, and give simple, simple clear instructions. I’d attempt verbal de-escalation first, listening to what they’re saying, and validating their feelings without agreeing with any delusions or hallucinations.
If the patient continues to be aggressive or is at risk of hurting themselves or others, I’d call for security immediately while continuing to monitor and reassure the patient from a safe distance. I’d also make sure to document their behavior, triggers, and any interventions used, so I could figure out why this has happened in the first place (undiagnosed mental health disorders, intoxication or withdrawal.)
Which neurotransmitter is most commonly associated with depression
The neurotransmitter most often linked to depression is serotonin. Low levels of serotonin in the brain can affect mood, sleep, and appetite, and are often what medications like SSRIs target to help improve symptoms. Of course, other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and dopamine also play a role, but serotonin is usually the one people focus on first.
What does the Acronym [PTSD] stand for, and what does it entail
PTSD stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It’s a mental health condition that can develop after someone experiences or witnesses a traumatic event, like serious accidents, violence, war, or abuse. People with PTSD might have flashbacks, nightmares, extreme anxiety, or avoid anything that reminds them of the trauma.

THE INTERVIEW
[Congratulations! Your character scored an interview, please answer the following all in ICLY fashion]
The Hospital Director takes a seat at their desk, clasping their hands together with a calm gaze as they greet the individual. Their desk is clean and pristine, aside from a half-filled tea cup that continues to steam, giving the room a lovely aroma.
Yǎlín entered the impressive office and quickly surveyed the room, noting the steam rising from the tea but making no comment. His expression remained neutral and composed. His eyes met the Director’s briefly before he inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment.
“Good afternoon. I will be conducting your interview today. Could I have your full name as well as your age and date of birth, please?”
"I appreciate the opportunity,” he states plainly, pausing for a moment before continuing. “My name is Shū Yǎlín, twenty-seven years old… I was born on November twenty-seventh, nineteen ninety-seven”
“Very nice. Now, could you tell me a little more about yourself? Do you have a family, perhaps some motivations behind why you’d like to work here?”
Shū Yǎlín remains still, shoulders squared, gaze steady. He considers the question for a brief moment before replying in the same plain tone. “I have a little sister, though… I do not wish to discuss family.” He pauses. “My motivation is rooted in experience. I have witnessed the fragility of life and the consequences of inadequate care. That has... Drove me to dedicate myself fully to medicine, to ensure others do not endure preventable suffering. I work to prevent the kind of pain I have seen, and the kind I once could not stop.”
“Would you like us to refer to you by your surname or first name? As well as what honorifics you’d like.”
(San, Chan, Kun, Shi, etc.)
"Shu Kun." He'd state blankly.
The director nods in affirmation, now understanding the type of person the individual was and readjusts their posture, taking a sip of that aromatic green tea before continuing to speak.
“It is nice meeting you, then. Now, Let us move on to some more important questions regarding your role.”
He nods his head in silence, both hands clasped loosely in front of him. His shoulders remain squared, back straight, and he shifts his weight slightly from one foot to the other. His gaze flicks briefly toward the Director's green tea, then back ahead
“A patient arrives with a severe injury and is panicking uncontrollably. Walk me through how you would handle this situation.”
He thought for a moment... “A patient with a severe injury and extreme panic requires immediate containment of both the situation and the patient’s distress,” he begins, tapping his index finger against the top of his hand. “First, I ensure the environment is clear of hazards... Anything that could worsen the injury or cause further harm.”
He lifts a hand briefly, as though he was directing movement. “I would then bring them to the treatment room." He shifts weight slightly, maintaining eye contact with the Director. “Verbal reassurance is important for the brain... So, short, calm sentences, instructing the patient to breathe slowly, explaining each step as it occurs. Simultaneously, I monitor vitals and prepare any immediate interventions... Oxygen, IV fluids, analgesics." He paused. "Per protocol.”
He inclines his head slightly. "Once the root of the problem is figured out, you just treat their injures and prescribed any medication if needed.”
“During an emergency, if any other hospital staff are unavailable however there is a patient in need, can we trust you to stabilize them or treat them to an acceptable degree?”
His gaze sharpens slightly. “Yes,” he states plainly, voice calm. He shifts his weight subtly, as if preparing for action. “If staff are unavailable, I will stabilize the patient immediately and provide treatment to the highest degree allowed by my training and the situation." He furrowed his brows just slightly. "I prioritize patient safety and effective intervention over procedure or convenience. Protocol is followed when possible, but in urgent circumstances, action takes precedence.”
“Could you run me through on the plethora of equipment you may find within your personal office if you are to be given the role of a resident? Just simply medical equipment.”
He blinked a few times, eyes briefly flicking to the ceiling as if counting off in his mind. “Stethoscope, sphygmomanometer for blood pressure measurement, otoscope and ophthalmoscope for basic examinations…” He shrugged lightly, tilting his head slightly. “A laptop for patient charts and laboratory results… and emergency medications.”
