+ | Doctoring is a type of work performed with the [[skills#Medicine|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: | |

− | + | Medicine is typically used to improve the results of doctoring, and therefore improve recovery from injuries and disease, as well as allowing the performing of surgery. Another perk to using medicine is that medicine is typically able to heal multiple injuries (depending on severity), which is something that 'dry-bandaging' can't do. | |

There are currently three types of medicine in RimWorld: the organic [[herbal medicine]], the bog standard [[medicine]], and the coveted [[glitterworld medicine]] - in order from least potent to most potent. | There are currently three types of medicine in RimWorld: the organic [[herbal medicine]], the bog standard [[medicine]], and the coveted [[glitterworld medicine]] - in order from least potent to most potent. | ||

+ | Herbal medicine is an organic medicine which can be grown from Xerigium (aka [[healroot]]), or purchased from tribal traders. It is not very powerful, and its best application is in treating injuries, the flu, and chronic diseases - but it can be good at treating more severe diseases in the hands of a skilled and/or enhanced doctor. However, Herbal Medicine isn't powerful enough to reliably perform surgery at all, and you'll often fail regardless of surgeon ability. | ||

− | + | Standard medicine is the benchmark of medical treatment solutions, and is also producible at a [[drug lab]] by combining herbal medicine, [[neutroamine]], and [[cloth]]. It can additionally be purchased from outlanders and orbital traders, or occasionally dropped by pirate raiders and mercenaries. Medicine is best used for treating severe illnesses, but it's risky to perform surgery with ordinary medicine due to its lower medical potency, unless your surgeon is sufficiently enhanced. Odds can be improved by as little as a shot of [[go-juice]] for boosted consciousness, but the risk will still be present. | |

− | + | Glitterworld Medicine is the most powerful medicine out of the three types available, and can only be produced on high-tech Glitterworlds. Despite the high price, Glitterworld Medicine carries a value which no other medicine can carry: enhanced medical potency. Naturally, due to the cost, Glitterworld Medicine isn't worth the price for treating trivial diseases or injuries - but it makes surgery ''significantly'' easier, and allows even mediocre doctors to guarantee success in operations. | |
