Docs should treat patients completely Empty Docs should treat patients completely

Sat Apr 25, 2020 10:41 am
I find it rather annoying to check all my doctors if they apply remedies for the ailments the patients have. Many have symptoms not suppressed like 'Doctor, I have a headache' - 'So what?'.
This leads to patients leaving home not fully treated and forgoing the bonus for '++ treated'. This is prestige lost. I wish for a way to tell my docs 'If it hurts, then cure it and do not send the patient home after diagnosis!' like 'Uh-huh, You have a sprained ankle - next!' - 'But doc, can't you describe me some analgetics or an ice wrap?' 'NEXT!!!'

I mean: for me, patient allocation by insurance and payment mode are worse enough for my palate, but this is ridonculous. A patient should leave my hospital cured and not non-treated or semi-treated.

I mean - some things are done almost every time like a blood transfusion or an arm cast and this is good. But most times, patients with athlete's feet leave without antifungal ointment, pain patients without analgesics or NSAIDs and whatnot or recommendations while this was possible.

So basically spoken: when your docs discover a symptom causing discomfort, then please let them help the patients and do not have me look over every shoulder if it is done right or not. Or at least have me toggle this like do I want this and thus content patients or do I want to have as much patients visiting my hospital no matter how content they leave.

What if we could update the manager who currently only makes janitors effective?

The janitor has a "manager specialization. If we can update the Admin Department so that managers can do more then just manage janitors, we could have him tell doctors to treat all symptoms.

I guess it would be easier to have a 3-button solution like we have with diagnosis, just for treatment like treat only critical symptoms, treat some and treat all as standing orders for docs. We have already diagnosis low, mid and high for each department. Setting treatment to high will make you have more personal in the long run but earns more content patients and thus prestige.
As far as I find your solution viable, the thing, that the manager still is a janitor and not another class of personal like "administrator" feels wrong and crudely patched.

I wouldn't mind addressing this, although I do know if changes are made one better make sure they have enough staff and facilities to provide for the additional demand of covering all symptoms and treatments.

True, you would need more clinic staff and rooms, if treating more symptoms as patients stay longer in the doctors' offices . On the other hand, currently I am seeing untreated patients in the ward overnight while the docs are drinking coffee. Every night I am doing the night round myself to see whether my patients get recommendations, painkillers etc.
The devs told about the docs not being perfect and all. I concur with that although when remembering theme hospital, there was only one symptom to cure (the disease itself), and the game was fun nevertheless. Docs were working perfect or better: depending on their skill. If they were bad they would send patients into diagnosis rooms until they got the disease correct. Did not kill neither immersion nor fun.
We have a far more sophisticated system in Project Hospital and this is good. But not treating uncovered symptoms is not. We have a mechanism for people being happy for being cured and docs that do not care by design choice. Does not match in my book.

Well, you've mentioned it, now it's time to wait and see if the devs do anything about it. I dunno. My guess is there will always be patients that slip out w/o full treatment unless you takeover.
