De-hospitalization

Hey devs! I was wondering if it was at all possible to allow the player to remove a patient from hospitalization, sending them back to the clinic. I have any on-going issue within my Sexual Health Department mod in which once a SH patient has been falsely hospitalized (whilst in ER), they can't then be transferred because SH doesn't have (or need) hospitalization. This means that the player has no option than to transfer the patient to another hospital which isn't ideal.

The alternative is for me to add hospitalization to my mod which I really don't want to do. Plus, if I do I can't reduce the minimum staff requirements to any less than X2 doctors, X2 nurses, 1 surgeon and 1 anaesthesiologist, most of whom would be superfluous.

That's causing me to have to transfer these patients to another hospital, so removing a patient from hospitalization would solve this issue.

I send these patients to ICU to get their abx and then they are discharged from there... but massively overkill

Hi, looking at this, there might be some small changes in code that we could try to apply to work around this issue, but allowing players to just release the patients could easily break some of the systems (especially the 'required hospitalization time').

First, could you check if modifying the hospitalization setup for your department to match intermal medicine helps, that should allow the required staff to be just 1+1 doctors and 1+1 nurses. If not, we can talk about adding some more parameters and maybe allowing patients with all possible diagnoses from a department without hospitalization to be automatically switched to clinic patients when transferred from observation.

Hey Jan. Thank you so much! The <HospitalizationWithoutSurgeons>true</HospitalizationWithoutSurgeons> line worked a treat and that has solved the issue. You're the best.
