HOSPITAL APPLICATION
OOC SECTION
[This section is a requirement to properly identify you during your application.]
-
What is your IGN?:
aubrizzy
What is your Discord?:
@auubbss
What would you like us to call you?:
Aubrey
How old are you?:
(If you do not want to state your exact age, confirm if you are above the age of 16)
I am 16.
Do you have a functional Microphone?:
I do, and I’m comfortable using it.
What is your timezone & How would you describe your activity?:
My timezone is CST, which goes well with my activity. Based on my experience in similar servers, my activity times usually line up with others, so my timezone never really stops me from interacting with people. Even if it does, if ever needed I don’t mind staying up late or getting on early to log on for events. That being said, I am a student, so from time to time I do have things going on that may poke at my activity, but never for prolonged periods of time. Nonetheless, I’ve always made time for logging on without issue and haven’t had any complaints during my time in other factions.
What is your motivation to apply to the Norowarejima Hospital Faction?:
My motivation in applying is quite simple: I’m highly interested in the medical aspect of roleplay and it’s something I’ve not yet experienced. Getting to align my roleplay with something that I’m deeply interested in would be something that I would not only dedicate myself to, but something that I know I would genuinely enjoy. Additionally, I love writing - especially in detail - which works out perfectly for a role such as this. It pretty much feels like all of my interests combined into one, and on top of this, the actual faction along with the server seems super inviting and well-organized! All in all, I know I would not only learn in this faction, but have lots of fun and really enjoy logging on for it.
ROLE-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS & MEDICAL TRIVIA
[This section is dedicated to testing your knowledge on the medical field.]
-
What role would you prefer and why?:
(You can find the list of departments available in the informational section.)
I would prefer to start out as a Surgical Resident. While this is considered one of the more detailed factions (at least in my opinion), that is exactly what I am wanting for both me and my character. From this position, I would like to grow my character while actively improving my writing and roleplay everyday. I also believe that the surgical side of the hospital fits my character perfectly and is what I had in mind whilst creating her. Starting out as a resident would also allow me to realistically grow from the bottom, which is something I believe is necessary judging I haven't been in any medical factions before. That being said, I am open to other factions within the hospital if my training period proves me to work better somewhere else.
Do you have any prior experience with MedicalRP?:
No, I do not. While I am enrolled in various medical classes out of character and consider myself familiar with medicine's basics, I don’t have any experience in actually roleplaying with this. Still, I do have experience writing in heavy detail, which I do believe will help me significantly with this role. I’m used to writing larger actions on the spot and being able to realistically respond in doing so. Despite my lack of experience, I am willing to learn and put time into this to gain as much knowledge on MedicalRP as possible.
Are you aware that with MedicalRP comes the possibility of encountering possibly triggering topics?:
Yes, I am.
How well can you coordinate with a team during Roleplay?:
I’m able to work in team settings during roleplay to a great extent, and I’d actually say I thrive in team-driven environments most. I have prior experience being on team factions across similar servers, and I’ve found that being able to create bonds with people in your faction is one of the key parts to great roleplay. I understand that a team is a team, meaning that I have to work with others in order for it to succeed, whether that includes getting to know everyone I work with ICly and OOCly, assisting others when needed, or really just doing what I can to help.
MEDICAL TRIVIA
(PHYSIOLOGY)
If someone is experiencing a reaction to food poisoning, what is the correct way to manage and treat the symptoms?:
The main focus should be to support the patient’s body as much as possible, judging food poisoning is an infection, meaning the body will eventually clear it. Hydration is a key point, so giving the patient lots of water will help tons in a speedy recovery. It should also be clear that alcohol and caffeine should be avoided as those can be dehydrating. Another important aspect, that really goes along with any type of medical issue, is rest. The body needs energy to fight off the infection. If proven necessary, antibiotics for discomfort can be administered.
What procedure would you follow if you witness a patient experiencing a seizure?:
Immediately move any dangerous objects out of the way and ease the patient to the floor to prevent injury. If possible, turn the person to their side to help keep the airway clear and prevent any choking. Once you know the patient is safe, assess their vital signs and note how long the seizure is lasting. Once the seizure has run its course, move the patient to a suitable environment such as a hospital bed while continuing to monitor their vital signs. Check for any injuries that may have been sustained during the seizure’s time while providing reassurance to the patient, assuming they will most likely be in a state of panic. Once all is okay, begin to find the cause of the seizure and how to treat it.
What procedure would you follow if a patient that has entered the hospital has a broken forearm?:
First things first, ensure the patient is as stable and calm as possible. Then, determining the pain level and the severity of the break is important to know how to proceed with things like pain-meds, if surgery is necessary at the very given moment, and so on. Assuming it is not breaking skin, immobilizing the arm with some kind of splint to prevent further injury. Ordering x-rays to finalize the treatment plan would then follow, and surgery would most likely follow soon after.
What procedure would you follow if a patient enters the hospital struggling to breathe?:
Assess the airway and look for any kind of obstruction preventing them from breathing properly. If the patient is choking, performing abdominal thrusts, also known as the heimlich maneuver, to get whatever is causing them to choke out as soon as possible. If they are not breathing for unknown reasons other than choking, administering oxygen is the next step. Once the patient is safe and calm is when you should get medical history and determine the cause and following plan.
(PSYCHIATRY)
A patient is experiencing a panic attack before an important procedure. How would you assist the patient?
Stating the obvious, it’s important to begin with trying to calm the patient down as much as possible and approach them with reassurance. Speaking in a calm and empathetic tone while validating the patient's feelings may help them relax, and to further follow you should walk them through breathing exercises. Guide the patient to take deep and slow breaths, like breathing in, holding, and slowly exhaling. This step would be repeated until the patient seems collected. Then, offering simple reassurance that they are in great hands and the procedure will be done with the utmost care and precision possible may help the patient not feel as worried about what's to come.
A belligerent patient in the middle of a psychotic episode stumbles into the emergency room. What should you do?
Protecting the staff, patient, and bystanders should be a doctor’s first reaction. Maintaining a safe distance while approaching with calm and non-threatening body language is an important step to ensuring the patient does not spiral more. In a psychotic episode it is hard to know what may come next, so anything that could be triggering, like sudden movements, should be avoided at all costs. Removing any items that could be used as weapons or even calling security should be the next step to restrain the patient to a room if they do not comply. Assessment should follow: observe behavior and rule out any obvious medical causes to try and figure out to what extent paranoia, hallucinations, and levels of orientations are involved. Like any other psychiatric situation, using a calm tone throughout the situation is a must. Once the patient is stabilized (either through medical intervention, restraints, or the patient’s will), you can then treat them and perform a full psychiatric evaluation.
Which neurotransmitter is most commonly associated with depression
The most commonly associated neurotransmitter with depression is serotonin, although norepinephrine and dopamine are also big ones. In depression, there’s often lower serotonin activity, which contributes to the symptoms of low mood, hopelessness, and sleep/appetite issues. Imbalances of these chemicals are often what lead to depression, but it’s important to note this isn’t the only factor that plays into it!
What does the Acronym [PTSD] stand for, and what does it entail
PTSD stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This is a mental health condition that can develop after someone either experiences or witnesses a traumatic event, such as serious accidents that leave mental impressions. To get diagnosed with PTSD, symptoms generally last more than one month and cause serious distress. Symptoms can include flashbacks and nightmares, negative changes in mood and detachment from others, and feeling easily on edge or irritable.
IN-CHARACTER SECTION
[Everything beyond this point must be answered from an ICLY standpoint]
NORIKO TSUKISHIRO’S COVER LETTER
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.
Noriko Tsukishima, the epitome of serene precision, took her seat. Her posture, her hair, her outfit - everything calculated. But beneath the calm, there was a quiet weight to her presence, making a subtle dread float around her.
“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?”
Tsukishiro’s hands rested calmly on her lap, her expression just as tranquil. From beneath a heavy curtain of dark hair, her eyes peeked through to meet the Director’s. “Good evening… I am Tsukishiro Noriko,” She murmured, tone deliberate. “I was born on the fourteenth of December, 1997.” Her voice softened to a whisper, foreboding in tone, “The moon was full that night… Watching.” An oddly eerie smile tugged at the corners of her lips before vanishing, replaced by her typical composure. It seemed as if an internal light switch had been flicked. “I am twenty-seven now.”
“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?”
A simple nod answered the Director’s questions, Noriko’s delicate voice soon following. “Indeed. I grew up on Japan’s mainland with my parents, Tsukishiro Satomi and Tsukishiro Renji, both physicians. Evidently, they were busy most of the time, but I did not mind… It gave me more time to myself.” A smile crossed her features, oddly out of place. “Despite my parent’s absence, I admire their ethics. Their work was satisfactory and they were both able to climb to the top with haste. No matter who they had to push aside. I’d like to follow in their footsteps… Follow before running past them and being better.” Dark eyes wandered, noting the cleanliness of the desk. “…I’m sure you know what I mean.”
“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.)
Noriko, whose posture hadn’t shifted from perfect, said, “Tsukishiro-san will be fine,” with a smile. She was glad the Director had asked.
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.”
-
“A patient arrives with a severe injury and is panicking uncontrollably. Walk me through how you would handle this situation.”
The ravenesque girl responded without second thought, a question like this easy to answer. “Immediately assess the location of the injury to understand its extent. Once I realize its severity, I would attempt to calm the patient down as much as possible while directing them to a room. If needed, I would quickly get a wheelchair to ensure haste.” It was clear the injury wouldn’t have bothered her by the somewhat excited glint that shone in her pupils. “Once they were settled, I would calmly do whatever I could to ease the pain, like starting them on an IV and administering necessary medications… Only then would I begin whatever treatment was needed and page whoever may help.”
“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?”
A slight furrow of her brows betrayed Noriko’s collective countenance, seeming like she was somewhat … Offended? “Of course you can trust me. I would not just treat them to an acceptable degree, I would do everything in my power to help them to the best of my capabilities.” Someone doesn’t play about their work. Still, Tsukishiro realized she should take a step back. This is a professional environment, after all. Clearing her throat, she spoke after a short pause, “…Yes. I would do all I could if it meant a patient’s life was on the line.”
“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.”
A sheepish smile crept onto Noriko’s features at the mere mention of possible residency in her name. “Yes, yes, let’s see…” Tapping her barren finger against her chin in thought, Tsukishiro mentally ran through the contents of the nearly organized office she’d hold, running her conscience over all the basics. “For starters, items like stethoscopes, thermometers, and blood pressure cuffs are necessary to perform simple check-ups on a patient. Penlights and reflex hammers, of course, have their place as well. But when it comes to surgery…” That spine-chilling smile of hers pulled wider, as if savoring the thought. “One always needs scalpels to cut, forceps to hold, and surgical needles with sutures to stitch what’s been done. You do have to piece them back together once you’ve cut them up, after all.”
