med bay

Onboard treatment room

A med bay is a medical bay—a dedicated area for treating injuries and illness, especially aboard ships, spacecraft, or in military installations.

The term comes from science fiction and military usage but has spread through video games where players heal or respawn: Get to the med bay before you bleed out.

Also spelled medbay.
