Theme Hospital Hints

Should I have my staff leave rooms to answer pages?

  • 1 of 4: From my experience, I would have to say yes.  However, there are several people whom argue otherwise.  Basically, it is up to you.
  • 2 of 4: If you are looking to control everything and play through a long and cumbersome game you may want to manually move staff from room to room.
  • 3 of 4: However, if you are looking for a quick look at a chaotic hospital, then you should try allowing your doctors to answer pages and leave rooms.  This will generally be easier because you can then speed the game up and your doctors will pay attention to patients whom you might overlook yourself.  You can win both ways, but it is often faster to allow your staff to answer pages.
  • 4 of 4: Either way, it doesn't really matter as to which you choose.  If one doesn't work out for you, try the other.  If you are just learning how to play and would like the easiest possible route, I would have to suggest letting your staff answer the pages.  If you are a power-hungry diehard strategist, you can choose to control one more aspect of the game yourself.
