“I need a pony keg of O neg, stat!”
Medical Hospital is all about the index cards - you make character, situation, and associated stuff on cards that interrelate in play. There are a few places where having a reference will come in handy, and it’s never a lot of stuff, so I made a handout of index-card sized cheat sheets. They can be double-sided, too.
There’s a card for stress actions, two cards for perks (gaining and spending), a card for cardiac arrests, two for surgical complications, and a list of jargon for the anaesthesiologist to shout when a procedure gets out of control.
My hope is that people will have a stack of index cards they can carry around,with characters and situations they can mix and match and the references obviating the need for hauling the actual rules.

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that index cards are the single best gaming aid available (outside of the game’s mechanical necessities like dice, cards, or a rulebook).

This is now forthwith my favorite game.
I want one.
I love the small words in there: Meddle.
This has all the potential it needs. I need it.
