Treating injuries and disease can be done with or without medicine, but you'll see significantly better results if you use any form of medicine. The three types of medicine are as follows: [[herbal medicine]], [[medicine]], and [[glitterworld medicine]] - from least potent to most.

However, surgery requires at least herbal medicine - but it's not advisable to use herbal medicine in any circumstance: it's simply not potent enough. Glitterworld medicine is exceptionally good for surgery though, and should be used for doing so whenever possible (and ideally nothing else, apart from truly life-threatening diseases).

Overview

Doctoring is a type of work performed with the medicine skill. Doctoring includes treating injuries, treating diseases, performing surgical operations, and taking care of patients (entertaining and feeding). How well a colonist performs in doctoring mainly depends on their medicine skill and medicine used, but their physical well-being plays an important role too: A healthy colonist with a lower medicine skill will perform better at doctoring than a colonist with a missing arm or eye and a higher medicine skill.

The following table documents a few of many possible combinations of how factors play into a colonist's performance at doctoring:

Colonist Medicine Skill Base Treatment Quality Manipulation [1] Sight [2] Final Treatment Quality [3]
A [4] 6 80% 100% 100% 80%
B [5] 18 200% 40% 30% 52.92%
C [6] 3 50% 190% 140% 109.51%
D [7] 11 130% 50% 100% 71.5%
  1. ↑ 90% importance in treatment quality
  2. ↑ 70% importance in treatment quality, but only effective up to 130%
  3. ↑ To 2 decimal places
  4. ↑ Healthy, practitioner in medicine
  5. ↑ Bad back, frail, and cataracts, visionary in medicine
  6. ↑ Fully bionic trauma savant, basic familiarity with medicine
  7. ↑ Missing an arm, strong expert with medicine
