The main sickbay onboard Starbase 118 consists of six full decks, Deck 500 to 505. Most of the turbolifts that run through these decks are located near their centers. The medical facilities aboard Starbase 118 are the most advanced, the most efficaciously utilized, and the most competently staffed of any with which most medical officers would be familiar, except of course for planet side facilities on worlds like Earth or Vulcan. Almost twenty-five percent of the starbase and its resources are dedicated to the medical department; for a Chief Medical Officer, it is like being the commanding officer of a Mercy class starship, but without the ability to go to warp if conditions become too dangerous.

The Chief Medical Officer’s office is more like a suite than a single room. The primary office chamber contains a desk and desktop monitor, as well as larger and newer versions of the medical displays found on the walls of the offices of most CMOs in Starfleet. From here, one can monitor the status and progress of literally hundreds of patients in the Main Medical Facility and at the other medical facilities located throughout the base.

Adjoining the relatively basic office is a sort of lounge. This lounge area can be redesigned at the Chief Medical Officer’s discretion; some possibilities, however, are comfortable chairs organized around a Japanese rock garden, couches around a coffee table, or two couches facing each other for less formal individual meetings with the base’s CMO.

Adjoining the lounge room is the Chief Medical Officer’s Conference Room. This room is dominated by a large conference table, which is roughly the same size of a table in a starship conference room.

As the length of the office extends along the outermost hull of the starbase, each of these three chambers has a wall composed almost entirely of windows, looking out into space.
