Infirmary

An infirmary is the primary medical care facility aboard a space station, where illness and injury are treated. The terms "infirmary" and "Sickbay" are often interchangable, although the latter usually applies to a ship-borne facility. As such, station infirmaries are normally larger with more equipment (both in quantity and speciality) and staff than a Sickbay. Some even rival planet-side hospitals in their abilities to diagnose, treat, and provide care for patients.
