==Treatment==
For most injuries, you can treat [[Colonist|colonists]] with or without [[medicine]] (with typically better results if a medicinal substance is provided), and also have them lay in [[Hospital Bed|hospital beds]] or any other bed or sleeping spot assigned as a medical spot, though Hospital Beds further improve the chance of them being treated properly.

===Improper Treatment===
Treating an an injury poorly ''may'' result in [[Scar|scarring]], reduced [[Stats#Healing Rate|healing rate]] or infections

===Operations===
Under the [[Health]] tab, you can assign an operation to a [[colonist]] by clicking on the bill sub-tab. Operations cannot be performed without a proper [[Medicine|Medkit]] to apply an anesthetic.

=====Transplants=====
For missing [[Organ|internal organs]], either a donor organ can be used or an artificial part.

=====Limb Replacement=====
From [[Peg Leg|peg legs]] to [[Bionic Arm|bionic arms]], you could either replace a colonists' missing limbs, augment them, or cruelly punish your [[Raider|enemies]] with peg legs out of spite. 
Bionic parts have a bonus to specific actions or movement. For example, a [[Bionic Leg|bionic leg]] will increase your colonist's moving speed by 20%. Having a second bionic leg will increase the speed further by 20%, so having both right and left bionic legs will increase the speed by 40%.
