And if the health inspector catches you with an epidemic on your hands, your reputation and bank balance will go down. Various events can occur, such as earthquakes that damage your equipment, emergencies - when group of patients with the same disease come via helicopter to your hospital with immediate demand for care - and epidemics (most annoying in the opinion of yours truly) when your hospital is flooded by patients with some spreading disease.
If someone on your staff becomes unhappy, they will ask for a pay increase, and if you decline they will leave the hospital. Handymen and nurses have only one skill level. These factors will determine how quickly they will carry out their tasks and which tasks they can carry out for example, only surgeons can operate on patients, and only consultants can teach low level doctors in the Training Room. In time you’ll need to buy more land and space for expanding the hospital.ĭoctors, as the most important members of your staff, have various levels of ability (low, medium, high), seniority (junior, doctor, consultant), and skills (surgeon, psychiatrist, researcher). A Research Department is very important, because your doctors must find out about new diseases and how (or maybe "with what lunatic machines") to treat them. Also, they are in need of a toilet now and then. Patients like to feel warm (place radiators around the hospital) and don't like to be thirsty (drinks machines are needed) while waiting to be cured. Some doctors are not that good, so you need to improve them in the Training Room. All the personnel grow tired after a while, and need to rest in a Staff Room.
They can also maintain equipment and water plants around your hospital. The hospital under your guidance must be a clean place (and when patients are throwing garbage around, and occasionally throw up their lunch, its not an easy task), so you should hire handymen. Next, you must build various diagnosis rooms (like Cardiogram, X-Ray, or Scanner), treatment rooms, and clinics (Fracture Clinic, Inflation Room, Pharmacy, Psychiatric Room, Ward, etc.) that require nurses or doctors. This game is hard, so you should arm yourself with patience if you want to beat it fair & square.Įvery mission starts with an empty hospital, and the first thing you need is a Reception Desk (which requires a receptionist, of course) and a GP Office (which requires a doctor). It looks like a small obstacle, right? Wrong! The first 6 missions are a walk in the park, but the next 6 are hell - and I mean hell! Every mission has its demands, and when you fulfill them you move on to the next, tougher, mission. There is no sand-box mode, just 12 missions to beat. Concerns to look after are reputation, percentage of cured patients, bank balance, value of your hospital and number of cured patients. Your task is to run your hospital in best way you can. A hospital is a crazy place to their way of thinking, and the amount of creativity they have shown in designing their own view of hospital care is tremendous. The people at Bullfrog, however, seriously disagree with this. They're all the same there is nothing interesting about them, and everything inside is white and quiet.
