Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In The Future or sometime soon, you won't need a steady hand to heal people, some machine is doing that for you. In a futuristic setting there will be machines that fix human bodies automatically. If a human doctor is participating in it at all, he will only press buttons and won't even touch a scalpel. The appearance of these machines can range from complex apparatus to seemingly magic circles. Healing Vat is its own subtrope. Note: There is a difference between this and Save/Heal points in video games. Unless the healing effect is referred to In-universe, it's an Acceptable Break from Reality. |

Look Around You brings us Medibot, the first ever machine qualified to automatically perform surgeries. One of the hosts decides to test this new technology on himself by having it give him a facelift...the results of which, to put it mildly, suggests that Medibot is still not quite suited for life-saving surgeries. | |

In The Expanse, ships like the Rocinante feature auto-docs that slip over a patient's upper arm to diagnose and dispense medication. At one point Amos has to keep manually overriding an auto-doc because the patient is in such bad shape the device tries to default to "hospice mode". For physical wounds, however, a human still has to carry out procedures manually. | |

Alien: Prometheus has one which also serves as a Chekhov's Gun. Dr. Shaw has to hastily have it perform a rapid C-Section to remove the rapidly growing alien fetus, all while she is awake and not well-anesthetized. Shaw initially requests a cesarean but is denied as the machine is calibrated for male patients (this is foreshadowing for the reveal that Peter Weyland is on board). She quickly thinks to request an abdominal foreign body removal instead. A version is seen in the original Alien movie as well — despite taking place later in the timeline, it's not efficient enough to identify the alien growing inside a crewmember, though that may have been due to deliberate sabotage... Also, it could be the difference between the version sent on a $2 trillion dollar exploration mission and the version sent with a bulk freighter. The novelization of Alien actually calls it "the autodoc" by name. |

In Civilization: Beyond Earth, the Clinic buildings available on newly colonized worlds are stated to consist mainly of drug dispensers, surgical robots, scanners, and other automated systems, with only one or two trained doctors and a handful of nursing staff. This is sufficient to meet the most well-known needs in a small community - qualified human doctors and nurses are extremely valuable assets and their efforts are wasted treating common illnesses and injuries, but they can be called in for anything more complicated than the automated systems can handle. This is the first Health-generating building, based on humanitarian clinics developed on Earth That Used to Be Better to treat refugees and slum-dwellers - further developments are more straightforward examples of this trope. | |

Schlock Mercenary has one that was souped up a bit and actually tries to improve its patients, sometimes successfully. The Toughs dubs it the "magic cryokit" after a few such improvements. Other autodocs in the series, which eventually adopt many of the "magic cryokit"'s concepts, tend to consist of a tank full of nutrient fluid in which nanomachines can fix and reconstruct what they need to. In late installments, they can even rebuild someone from scratch needing only a few mental backups. | |

Fallout 3 has the My First Infirmary in your house, which could heal everything short of addiction. It also has a Mr. Handy and Mr. Gutsy robots standing in for doctors, though they prove to be incompetent autodocs. Mr. Handy is a general-purpose servant and maintenance robot complete with a grabber, a buzz saw, a blowtorch, and a butler-y posh British accent. Mr. Gutsy is a US Army variant, though he keeps the grabber, he trades the blowtorch for a military-grade flamethrower, the buzz saw for a light plasma weapon, and the butler voice for a Drill Sergeant Nasty voice. Andy is a Mr. Handy who attempts to treat a sprained toe by amputating the wrong leg, and Sawbones is a Mr. Gutsy programmed with extensive medical knowledge, but not programmed to use it. Upon asking him for medical attention, he prefers to hurt you instead unless you fix the bug allowing him to do that and making him into an excellent doctor, although he's very unhappy about that. | |

Stargate SG-1: Goa'uld sarcophagi. These are so effective that they can bring people back to life. At least, those who are recently considered dead by He's Dead, Jim standards. We don't know just how dead you can be; there may be a difference between someone who was recently shot and someone dead for years or reduced to Ludicrous Gibs. Most of the cast would not have lasted very long without one lying around (and not well-guarded) during Goa'uld encounters. However, there's a downside. If you're already in good health, they start making "improvements". Unfortunately, addiction and megalomania come with that package, to the point where the non-evil-overlord branch of the species avoids using them. For some reason, after we learn that it's bad news if used when healthy, it begins to be treated by the cast as if it's evil no matter what. You would really think the Tok'ra and the SGC would keep one nearby and just not let people who weren't injured play with it (and give one to Atlantis) but of course that would solve too many problems too easily. Goa'uld healing devices are a less powerful example, able to heal many injuries but there are limits. Using one requires that naquadah be present in one's blood. Control appears to be mental in nature. Presumably the device itself knows what and how to heal. The Ancient technology sarcophagi are based on, which resembles a cube small enough to carry two-handed, heals anything near it when activated. Unfortunately, non-Ancient corpses tend to come back as regenerative zombies. |

In the Borderlands series, people rely on vending machines such as the one pictured above to dispense medicine and health-restoration injectors, as well as shields and class mods. The ones on Pandora in the first game, Borderlands, and Borderlands 2 are owned and operated by the notoriously shady Doctor Zed, who apparently managed to snag a local monopoly despite his lack of a medical licensenote to be fair, the medicines he sells do work perfectly well. The ones on Elpis and in Helios in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, on the other hand, are run by the somewhat more reputable Nurse Nina. | |

In the Fallout series, there are machines called Auto-Docs, which first appeared (rarely) in Fallout 2. For the most part, they seem to work pretty well, but A.I. Is a Crapshoot is still in full effect here. In 2, the Brotherhood of Steel has a medical AI named ACE (Artificial Conscious Entity) that works through Healing Vats. In Fallout: New Vegas, Caesar heads up the Legion, an explicitly technophobic group of tribes and gangs, not using anything more advanced than basic rifles, a motorized grinding wheel, and at least one chainsaw. If you actually get into Caesar's tent, he has an Auto-Doc mounted to the foot of his bed. If you take his questline, fixing it is one of the ways to treat his brain tumor. In the New Vegas DLC "Dead Money", you find Christine trapped inside one modified to perform surgery on her vocal chords to make her sound like someone else. Several other Auto-Docs are scattered around the Sierra Madre, and since you're stuck inside without any doctors, hardcore players will be relying on them for health, limb repair, and relief of hunger, thirst, and exhaustion. In New Vegas's Old World Blues DLC, the Courier gets an Auto-Doc that has a personality and is the best physician in-game, able to add implants, replace organs, give psychological evaluations (and by extension of that feature CURE NEARSIGHTEDNESS for Four Eye'd players), standard check-ups, perform plastic surgery, and give haircuts. If he's left on, with a good Courier he finds a way to turn off the Y-17 Trauma Harnesses, freeing the corpses trapped inside, several years after the game ends. The DLC also features Mr. Orderly robots, Mr. Handy variants actually designed for medical procedures and surgery — unfortunately, by the time you arrive they've all long since gone hostile. Fallout 3 has the My First Infirmary in your house, which could heal everything short of addiction. It also has a Mr. Handy and Mr. Gutsy robots standing in for doctors, though they prove to be incompetent autodocs. Mr. Handy is a general-purpose servant and maintenance robot complete with a grabber, a buzz saw, a blowtorch, and a butler-y posh British accent. Mr. Gutsy is a US Army variant, though he keeps the grabber, he trades the blowtorch for a military-grade flamethrower, the buzz saw for a light plasma weapon, and the butler voice for a Drill Sergeant Nasty voice. Andy is a Mr. Handy who attempts to treat a sprained toe by amputating the wrong leg, and Sawbones is a Mr. Gutsy programmed with extensive medical knowledge, but not programmed to use it. Upon asking him for medical attention, he prefers to hurt you instead unless you fix the bug allowing him to do that and making him into an excellent doctor, although he's very unhappy about that. In Fallout 4, Vault 81 has a modified Miss Nanny robot called the CVRIE: Contagious Vulnerability Robotic Infirmary Engineer, or simply "Curie". Unlike the examples from Fallout 3 she is very good at her job and very happy to help. She later downplays this trope when her AI is transferred into a synth body. |

If the wearer falls unconscious, it will inject a stimulant that can bring the wearer back to consciousness and help the wearer recover lost STUN and BODY damage. The Quikfix Autodoc Unit is installed in superhero headquarters and villain/agent bases. It automatically uses the Healing power on any injured being placed inside it. Several adventures have medical facilities operated by the base Artificial Intelligence as standard equipment in super headquarters/bases. |

BattleTech Advanced battle armor have built-in autodocs; the suit with cauterize wounds, pump the user with morphine, and self-seal the suit against environmental hazards. Clan Elemental powerarmor is famous in-universe for being nigh-invulnerable against infantry weapons, and there's situations where an Elemental will have half of his limbs blown up only to keep fighting. BattleMech mechwarriors and Aerospace pilots can use a piece of equipment called a Medipack to automatically inject stimulants and morphine for combat. |

Frostpunk includes Automatons, machines that tower over whole buildings on four long legs and seem to feature a suite of manipulators and instruments in their bodies which they use by "sitting" on top of a building and inserting them from above, thereby replacing entire work crews. After researching (or being given in an event) Medical Automatrons, these huge contraptions can be assigned to Infirmaries and Medical Posts, thus replacing the human Engineers that would normally staff these buildings and implying this trope. | |

A version is seen in the original Alien movie as well — despite taking place later in the timeline, it's not efficient enough to identify the alien growing inside a crewmember, though that may have been due to deliberate sabotage... Also, it could be the difference between the version sent on a $2 trillion dollar exploration mission and the version sent with a bulk freighter. The novelization of Alien actually calls it "the autodoc" by name. | |

Team Fortress 2: The Engineer's Dispenser will heal nearby teammates and provide ammo for them. The Medigun is a mobile version of this; just aim it at a wounded teammate, pull the trigger, and it will automatically heal your "target" (regardless of how bad your aim is) using a not-quite-magic gas that near-instantly heals pretty much anything that doesn't kill you. It also has an "Übercharge" function, meaning that healing people builds up a Limit Break depending on which Medigun you use, e.g. temporary invincibility for you and one teammate. |

FTL: Faster Than Light's Med Bay explicitly works by automatically pumping the patient full of healing nanomachines, no human (or alien) operator required. The Engi ship comes with an augment that allows these nanomachines to be pumped into the ship's life support system and offer (somewhat slower) healing throughout the ship, and a weapon system can be found that packs the nanomachines into a bomb that can be teleported onto an enemy ship to heal boarding parties mid-operation. Transporters can also be upgraded to fully heal crewmembers during teleportation. | |

Doctor Who: "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances": Captain Jack Harkness's Chula warship is full of nanogenes that automatically heal anyone on board. It turns out that The Virus that's turning people into gas-masked zombies is from the same source, these nanogenes ones from a battlefield ambulance performing Anatomically Ignorant Healing due to unfamiliarity with humans. "The End of Time": The Immortality Gate (not named by its makers) is similar in that Bad Things™ happen when you give it the wrong template. So don't let the Master get his hands on one... oops. "The Curse of the Black Spot": This turns out to be the Siren's true purpose. She's been abducting pirates who are in any way injured to fix them up. "The Girl Who Waited": The Handbots serve this purpose in the Kindness Facility, administering medicine to the residents. Amy has real trouble with them, though, as they are programmed so they don't believe she's not Apalapucian due to a planetary quarantine, and she has to constantly avoid and/or deactivated them so they don't give her medicine that could be lethal. |

Star Wars Legends provides more models of medical droid and more details on their advantages and disadvantages: medical droids can have a near-limitless knowledge of sentient species to let them heal the massive variety of patients in the galaxy, and they often have a precision that only a machine could have during surgery. On the flip side, their bedside manner often left something to be desired and led to patients not trusting a droid to operate on them and very few droids (such as the 21B from The Empire Strikes Back) being intelligent enough to deal with unforeseen complications and side effects. In consequence, they're usually used as assistants to an organic doctor that oversees their activities, in order to select a proper treatment. | |

Rifts has a number of variations on the technology, including tiny robots the size of a shirt button that can suture wounds, Nanomachines that can remain in your system to fix internal injuries, and the harness worn by Juicers that constantly monitors and keeps their physique at Super Soldier levels—at least until they inevitably burn out and die. | |

The Murderbot Diaries has wound packs that are wrapped on like a bandage, but also diagnose and injury and inject painkillers and antibiotics. Spaceships and habitats also have a MedSystem that acts like the usual version of this trope. | |

Once a prototype for a line of LLC nanny-bots, Kid Ultra from Battleborn is hardwired to lend a helping hand. He's the pinnacle of LLC support technology, programmed with all sorts of gadgets to assist or subdue a target as he sees fit. | |

System Shock 1 and 2 have automatic medical beds that heal you completely in an instant. They also have Quantum Bio-Reconstruction Machines that will reanimate "killed" characters, though these need to be reset so they won't turn them into more cyborgs instead. | |

Final Fantasy VIII has a variation - the Phoenix Guardian Force is the only one that can't be summoned normally, but will randomly auto-summon to revive your entire party after they've all died, denying a Game Over. | |

In Dragon Ball Z, Freeza's forces use the Medical Machine, though it's actually the liquid inside them that does the work. As of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, the latest model is sophisticated enough to completely reconstruct Freeza from the diced chunks of meat he was turned into by Future Trunks after he is wished back from being vaporized. | |

In the BBC radio series Earthsearch, the Challenger has surgical-androids, though they tend to be used more as a Do-Anything Robot because their dexterity means they can be reprogrammed for tasks like piloting the spaceship or firing weapons. | |

Prometheus has one which also serves as a Chekhov's Gun. Dr. Shaw has to hastily have it perform a rapid C-Section to remove the rapidly growing alien fetus, all while she is awake and not well-anesthetized. Shaw initially requests a cesarean but is denied as the machine is calibrated for male patients (this is foreshadowing for the reveal that Peter Weyland is on board). She quickly thinks to request an abdominal foreign body removal instead. | |

GURPS Ultra-Tech has several versions for different Technology Levels, from the TL9 Automed (a sealed trauma pod with automated functions, but which needs advice from a real doctor if anything unexpected happens) to the TL12 Medical Bush Robot, which has multiple medical instruments on its fractal "branchesstar" enabling it to perform any surgery. | |

In Gall Force, when Lufy is brought into the analysis station operated by Spea, they just move her into a chamber and press some buttons to restart her heart from a state of suspended animation. Spea mentions offhand that there are several injuries that may require organ replacement. | |

Transformers: Beast Wars has CR Chambers (what CR stands for depends on who you ask, and is never said in-show.) that injured bots are tossed into and they come out good as new. No matter how kablooificated you get, so long as the spark is still there, the CR chamber can work miracles. (The series still manages to kill a significant chunk of its cast.) Also, they could reconstruct bots to give them new beast modes (just scanning and changing yourself on your own doesn't appear until Transformers: Armada, at least in the US.) | |
