<p>Shanecl1985: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Limited Medical Care''' is inevitable due to the limited industrial performance of a Martian [[autonomous colony]]. Compared with [[Earth]] the colonists on [[Mars]] will have to face certain constraints. The constraints are even harder than in a [[Limited medical care in a semi-autonomous colony|semi-autonomous colony]]. High sophisticated accessories for surgery and a great variety of drugs are impossible to produce in-situ and will, therefore, not be available in medium-term<br /> [http://medicalassistantschoolsinfo.com/x-ray-technician/ x ray technician]<br /> <br /> .<br /> <br /> ==Diagnostics==<br /> [[hi-tech versus lo-tech|Hi-tech]] machinery (e.g. MRT) can only be produced with a large industry behind. The following diagnostics are simple enough to be produced with reasonable effort:<br /> *optical microscope<br /> *x-ray<br /> <br /> ==Surgery==<br /> Some simple surgery<br /> [http://medicalassistantschoolsinfo.com/ medical assistant schools]<br /> <br /> (e.g. appendix resection) can be done with [[hi-tech versus lo-tech|lo-tech]] surgical instruments, such as scalpel and suturation<br /> [http://medicalassistantschoolsinfo.com/ultrasound-technician-training/ ultrasound technician training]<br /> <br /> . <br /> <br /> ==Needed pharmaceuticals==<br /> This paragraph shall list needed drugs that can be produced on Mars with a reasonable effort<br /> [http://medicalassistantschoolsinfo.com/licensed-practical-nurse/ licensed practical nurse]<br /> <br /> .<br /> *Disinfectants: (to be completed)<br /> *Pain relievers: (to be completed)<br /> *Antibiotics: (to be completed)<br /> <br /> ==Precautions==<br /> The first settlers will be selected to be strong and fit. Even genetical screenings might be helpful to ensure best health, having a lasting effect on subsequent generations. This is a delicate issue, because this could be understood as a step in breeding of a new human race<br /> [http://medicalassistantschoolsinfo.com/medical-billing-and-coding/ Medical Billing and Coding]<br /> <br /> . However, the selection will not be continued for subsequent generations, so it is not deliberate breeding at all. With every generation the effect decreases. After all this is only a help for the start-up of the colony. Other long term solutions are needed anyway<br /> [http://medicalassistantschoolsinfo.com/duties-of-veterinary-technician-certification-jobs-and-salary/ veterinary technician]<br /> <br /> .<br /> <br /> ==Open issues==<br /> *What drugs are mandatory needed?<br /> *What drugs can be produced on Mars with a reasonable effort?<br /> *What social implications derive from the limited medical care?<br /> *What genetical defects can be detected by today's screenings?<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Limited medical care in a semi-autonomous colony]]<br /> <br /> [[Category: Health]]<br /> [[Category: Human Considerations]]<br /> [[Category: Concepts]]</div>
