Medical- Year 2

Just one principal design of Medical Centre (or rather "Center") appeared in Year 2. The computer panels at the head of beds are a new beige design.

Operations are performed on the red diagnostic chair in front of normal patient beds. The communications post is rarely seen (The Metamorph and The Beta Cloud) and shifts in position depending on camera angle. One wall, the normal camera position, is rarely seen (we have a glimpse of some panels in Mark of Archanon and The Beta Cloud). Dorzak shows a much longer version of the same room with a side observation room.

Space Warp
The A B Chrysalis
The Medical Center has a row of three beds along one wall, with a red operating chair in front of the curved computer unit hanging from the ceiling.
The A B Chrysalis
Medical monitors and drug trays are cluttered around.
Seed Of Destruction
The Pileo floor lamps make a rare appearance.
The Metamorph
Our first view of the new Medical, in The Metamorph. The new medical computers are beige. The curved computer unit hanging from the ceiling was also seen in Year 1.
The Exiles
In the first few episodes, the computer displays are the same three-screen design as in Year 1, although the other panels are new.
The Beta Cloud
In subsequent episodes, two smaller screens replace them.
Dorzak
The three screen design appears again occasionally, as here in the Dorzak observation room.

The main Medical Center is modified by adding a fourth bed (note the one on the end loses the computer unit).

The scanning lamp is here attached to a column, instead of the opposite wall.
The Beta Cloud
The Medical Center has a single door, off the main corridor.
The Beta Cloud
It is very close to the Weapons Section.
Seed Of Destruction
Inside the door is either this Life Support Systems Indicator, or a temperature gauge (sometimes it changes mid-episode). After The Beta Cloud there is also a ventilation grille.
