My phone is being weird and the post option disappears if the message gets longer than this.
They couldn't leave a person in need of constant supervision in the infirmary all the time. The doctor would have to be able to focus o current emergencies. And they wouldn't even leave Suder locked up in tbe cells.
I am hoping for a bit of brainstorming help.
The crew has low margins for being able to staff all positions, especially considering all the extra work they have to keep up resourves and maintenance. Right?
How would they cope with a long term casualty?

In the future timeline where Kes died of old age, she was in Medical permanently beforehand.
In general, the answer is probably exactly what you're thinking: if they need intensive care, they stay in Medical (probably in the swooshy stasis arch thing). If they're able to be released to their quarters, they do that - possibly with specialist equipment manufactured, and then daily house visits.
Though there's not many conditions that would cause long-term casualties. The Doctor would simply spend the episode researching it, and then fix it - or else they'd die. Trek-tech is very good at fixing the non-lethal.
(My phone does the same thing; you might try turning screen-rotation on and flipping it sideways, that often restores it.)
