Medical Recipes covers the first aid supplies a survivor can make or clean by hand. It includes washing and disinfecting bandages, soaking cotton in alcohol, making splints and grinding wild herbs into poultices.
These recipes keep a survivor patched up when pharmacies are picked clean. Dirty bandages can be washed and used again. Rags can be sterilised with alcohol. Herbal poultices turn foraged plants into wound care. The category ties First Aid to Foraging, since the poultice herbs come from the wild. It also uses Rag and Leather Strips from Tailoring and planks or branches from Carpentry.
Skills
Every recipe in this category is open at skill level 0. Anything known can be made right away.
Skill still matters through learning. The three poultice recipes unlock on their own at First Aid 5. They also unlock at Foraging 5, whichever comes first.
The recipes by the skill level they ask for.

Learning
Most of the category is known from the start. Clean Bandage, Disinfect Bandage, Disinfect Rag, Douse Cotton in Alcohol and Make Splint can be made by anyone.
The three poultices must be learned first. The magazine Wilderness Survival teaches all three. The Herbalist and Bushcrafter traits start with them known. So does the Park Ranger occupation.
These magazines, books, traits and occupations teach recipes from this category that have to be learned.

Materials
Rag and Bandage are the core supplies. Dirty ones are washed clean with a little water. Clean ones are sterilised with Rubbing Alcohol, Vodka or Whiskey. Water from a container also works for Disinfect Bandage.
Cotton Balls take a splash of the same alcohols.
Make Splint takes a strip of cloth or leather and something stiff. A Plank, a Tree Branch or a Wooden Rod all work.
The poultices take five of one herb: Comfrey, Plantain or Wild Garlic. A mortar and pestle grinds them and comes back after each use.

Stations
Every recipe is made in hand or on any surface. The cleaning, disinfecting and splint jobs are done straight from the inventory. The poultices need a table or counter nearby for the mortar and pestle work.
Recipes
Clean Bandage is the everyday job. It turns a dirty bandage, rag or strip back into a clean one with a little water.
Disinfect Rag and Disinfect Bandage make sterilised dressings. Douse Cotton in Alcohol gives Cotton Balls Doused in Alcohol.
Make Splint makes a Splint from scraps of cloth and wood. It is known from the start.
Grind Up Comfrey, Grind Up Plantain and Grind Up Wild Garlic make Comfrey Poultice, Plantain Poultice and Wild Garlic Poultice. These are the herbal side of First Aid for a forager.
Every recipe in the Medical menu is listed with what it makes, what it uses up, the tools it hands back, the skill it asks for and where it is made. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned first. Each tab holds one kind of thing made.
