Basic Medical (Rooms 1–5)
The standard treatment loop for medical rooms: check-in, diagnostics, read the bed screen, give the right remedy.
Quick answer
Check the patient in, run DNA analysis on the computer, read the one-to-three sicknesses on the bed screen, and give the matching remedies. Recovery takes about 35 seconds. Start every run ready with Herbs and Eye Drops — the first two scripted patients need exactly those.
Room-by-room flow
- Patient enters the medical wing and takes a free room (Rooms 1–5).
- Interact with the computer: DNA analysis (~9s), then the diagnosis appears (~2s).
- The bed screen lists the sicknesses — pick the remedies from your inventory.
- Apply each remedy; the patient heals and the bed frees up.
- Wrong remedy = patient death = one of your three lives gone.

Shift one is scripted — use it
Patient one always goes to room 1 and needs Herbs; patient two always goes to room 2 and needs Eye Drops. Neither is ever an anomaly. After shift one, cameras and shutters unlock and anomalies start showing up — see How to Spot Anomalies.
FAQ
Common questions about this topic.
What does Basic Medical mean in Animal Hospital?
It is the standard treatment flow for medical rooms (1–5): check-in, diagnostics, remedies — before the specialty rooms 6–8.
Why is my patient's screen showing more than one sickness?
Patients can need up to three treatments. Give all of them; missing one leaves the patient untreated.
Which items should I start with?
Herbs and Eye Drops cover the scripted first shift; coffee keeps your sanity up while you learn the loop.
