[RESOLVED] Patient stuck on operating bed after surgery

Description:
Patient Mary Cole undergoes band ligation and is then never removed from the operating bed. She’ll be stuck there for days, even after hiring more nurses. Sending her to another hospital works, but the operating bed seems to never be used again afterwards.

Repro steps:
From the attached saved game, just wait for her to be brought in for surgery in the morning.

Saved game (Bug.zip): after she is stuck in bed.
Pre-bug saved game (Sandbox5.zip): she is about to have surgery in the morning.

Hi, thanks for the report! While we work on a better fix (we aim to include it in the next patch), there's a workaround you can try on your side:

There's a broken stretcher in the ward next to the OR (you can see it in red in building mode, it's already there in the Sanbox5 save), delete it first and then send the patient home. The OR should start working normally.

Btw - any chance you remember if you fired a nurse while he/she was moving a stretcher or anything related to how the red stretcher appeared there? That could help a lot! Cheers!

Thanks!

I don’t remember firing any nurses before the bug showed up. I think I tried firing some after, because they started showing as “reserved for procedure” and just idling in the nurse room even after their shift ended, but I’m fairly sure not before.

I might have moved nurses between the day and night shift, but I’m not sure. And I definitely didn’t check if they were moving a stretcher at the time.
