🔍 Key Concepts

• Master’s responsibility for medical care on board and when to seek outside medical advice • Use of company-contracted medical advisory services / telemedicine for serious injuries at sea • Importance of current, professional medical guidance vs. untrained or outdated sources

💭 Think About

• Which option gives you access to a qualified medical doctor who can evaluate the injury and direct treatment in real time? • For an injury that is more than basic first aid, what level of medical expertise and resources are you required and expected to use at sea? • Which choices would not meet a reasonable standard of care for a serious hand injury on an ocean crossing, far from port?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which choice involves licensed medical professionals rather than untrained personnel. • Check which resource is current, reliable, and company-approved for medical emergencies at sea. • Eliminate any option that relies on outdated information or people with no medical training for a non‑minor injury.
