Sickbay

The attending doctor in sickbay is Dr. Cottle, but there are lab coat-wearing specialists and medics who are sometimes present to render aid (Litmus).

The sickbay seems to have the equipment of a basic small hospital (beds, stretchers, IV's), but is relatively spartan otherwise. It is also equipped with a machine similar to a magnetic resonance imaging scanner.

According to Lee Adama, the sickbay is also designed as a disaster shelter in the event of a ship catastrophe (Valley of Darkness).

Galactica also possesses a morgue, which is located near Baltar's lab ("The Farm", "Sacrifice", "The Captain's Hand").
