Sickbay is responsible for analyzing new life forms, developing treatments for unknown diseases and to
care for wounded crewmembers. The doctor sometimes uses the mess hall as an auxilliary sickbay since sickbay is too small to
handle a heavy patient load.

Kes was the Doctor's medic until she left the ship in 2374 to explore her mental powers.
Tom Paris took over the job as the doctor's medic in episode
Revulsion. He has been a part time pilot and a part time medic since then.

Biobeds, which are mainly used for patients under intensive care or in recovery, line the walls of sickbay.
There is also a more advanced primary biobed which is used for surgery, life support or medical examinations.

Sickbay is the only area of the ship that is equipped with holographic
emitters (except for the holodecks) which is why the doctor couldn't leave sickbay until he received his
mobile emitter in episode Future's end.
