The Consultations
For the physician opening the consultation room is an action that takes all day and 30 energy points. The physician determines at the opening the fees charged for a consultation;
and the max. numbers of extensive consultations for the day he allows. (max 12).
For the patient scheduling a consultation is no action, working at the time of consultation is no problem.
A consultation takes 2 hours, no matter the type of consultation.
The patient has to choose the time and the type of consultation:
- Basic consultation or
- extensive consultation
Note:
- For every extensive consultation to be carried out the physician needs one white poppy flower in the chest of his/her property. If the physician does not have any white poppy flowers in the property inventory at the time of the consultation, the consultation is cancelled and the physician does not get paid.
- Characters with the state of [[health] "You feel solid like a rock" (no disease, no episodes and no symptoms) may schedule an consultation, but he/she will not have to pay the fee and the physician does not get paid.
Diagnosis
To see the result of the consultation and make a diagnosis, the physician has to go to his consultation room > 'My consultations'. The consultation is added automatically after the appointment is over.
Depending on the result of the consultation the physician has to write his/her message in the area for 'my diagnosis'.
The patient will see an diary event from the consultation, which - after clicking on it - will display the diagnosis from the message text the physician typed, but does not see the various symptoms or the Hildegarde Code of the disease(s) that were found during the extensive consultation.
Basic consultation
The basic consultation will reveal the symptom(s) the patient is suffering at that time and will also reveal the intensity of that symptom(s).
- The physician will not see anything if the patient is not showing symptoms at the time of consultation, even if the patient has a dormant disease.
- The physician will only see a cumulative effect of the symptoms (e.g. fever 4 or aches 8), if the character has more than one disease he is suffering from the physician will not be able to identify the diseases affecting the patient.
The basic consultation is interesting for characters that only want a temporary treatment of the symptom(s).
Extensive consultation
The physician is aware of the patient's symptomatical picture, and additionally he/she will be able to identify the diseases affecting the patient.
The doctor is aware of the patient's symptomatological picture, as for a normal consultation, but he will also be able to identify the disease(s) affecting his patient, and to buy the remedies accoringly. The diagnosis shows a series of numbers which is called the Hildegarde Code.
Since the Hildegarde Code of each disease is unique, the physician can identify the diseases affecting the patient and sell remedies to the patient:
- basic potions to treat the symptoms for 24 hours
- Curative compounds that cure the corresponding illness permanentely
