Realistic Diagnoses
Welcome to Realistic Diagnoses, a redesign of the in-game diagnoses and their associated symptoms. Each diagnosis was given a new set of symptoms and the treatments for some symptoms have been changed. This is intended to have two affects. One is to bring the diagnoses more in line with the real-life diseases they represent. The other is to make it more difficult to diagnose a patient based on physical examinations alone and to increase the importance of laboratory testing. This second intention will become more apparent as more departments are added to the mod. At the moment, only emergency has been overhauled, but I plan to add more departments over time.
This is my first attempt at modding, so any feedback you can give would be much appreciated. If you have questions about the reasoning behind some of the changes, I would be happy to talk about it. I am not a medical professional (yet). I have no medical experience and the information this mod is based on is entirely from online sources. If you believe something should be changed, please let me know.
