My point was not that the facilities will be better then the best hospital on earth.
My point was that you will have at least 1 room dedicated and filled with the best available medical equipment and smart people that have thought about what is most needed. There will be likely two doctors and multiple people trained as backups.
That is only on the first flight, over time, as infrastructure grows the medical facilities will grow as well.
Point being here it is not exactly a crazy proposition for somebody to go on that mission.
> A mobile hospital looks like USNS comfort - 70,000 tons displacement and over 1,000 staff.
You are looking forward way far. If there is need on Mars for that kind of hospital with 1000 staff, 700 Starships is not actually that crazy anymore. Not to mention there are likely lots of optimizations as they serve different functions.
