/doh: Sets your channel to a private one for Department of Health employees./doctor-attend <username>: Teleports you to the patient's hospital or clinic, alerting other doctors that you’re attending to a patient. Use this command only when a patient requires assistance.

Training Programme
The Trainee Doctor Programme is the training pathway that citizens take to become a doctor in Redmont. It is ran by the Department of Health, who offers employment to all trainees that complete their programme.
To join the programme you have to sit the exam at University Hospital. You can find the exam room by following the magenta wool after warping to /university.

The programme has several components to make sure you are prepared for working as a doctor. You will be assigned a Medical specialist who will be your teacher during the programme. They will run classes and mock attends with you to teach you the necessary skills for work as a doctor. You can also track your progress through the programme by reviewing your probational licence that you can pick up from Dr House on the ground floor of Reveille Main Hospital.
More details about being a Trainee Doctor can be found in the Trainee Doctor Guide.
Procedures & Protocol
Most of your time spent as a doctor will be treating patients. To make things fair, doctors let their colleagues know that they will be attending to a patient before actually doing so. This should be done in-game in the /doh channel. Most doctors simply say 'me' to claim a patient.
After claiming a patient, you can run /doctor-attend <patient> to teleport to the hospital/clinic where your patient asked for help. You should talk to your patient in the /l channel and take them through to a treatment room to talk about their health. Here you might need to ask the patient their symptoms and temperature in order to properly diagnose them. You might want to use the Conditions and Treatments Guide for help, or you can run /health list diseases in-game to get information too.
Next, craft the cure you need in the cure room and return to your patient to treat them.
To treat a patient you hold the cure in your hand and RIGHT-CLICK on your patient. Don't drop cures and allow patients to self-treat as you wont be able to make a Medicare claim for your payment.
After treating the patient you can run /bulkbill <patient> to collect the benefit for the treatment. Make sure to read the Medicare Policy and keep up-to-date with any changes.
Once that's all done, you can say goodbye to your patient.
Temperature, Elixir levels and Conditions
A normal body temperature is 37. Anything below 33 is cold, and anything above 45 is hot.
A player's elixir level represents how much elixir they have drunk, this can be treated with milk buckets that doctors may sell for $10 to patients.
Conditions represent the injuries and diseases that can be contracted in Redmont. There are many of them and it can be daunting to remember them all. The command /health list diseases is especially useful for listing out all the diseases in Redmont, and even provides information about the symptoms associated with the condition.
The DOH keeps a book of recipes in their cure crafting rooms to help you with remembering which cure you need to craft for each disease. This can also be checked with /health list treatments to see a list of treatments and what they treat. If in doubt over a recipe, you can also use /recipes to check the health recipes.
Rules
Doctors are held to a high standard by the Department of Health. There is a full Code of Conduct available on the DOH Forum which is freely available for the public to look over.
The DOH uses MUST and SHOULD language throughout its policies and guides to help show the responsibilities and obligations of doctors. When a policy uses the word MUST, there is an obligation either ethical or legal to be fulfilled and breaking the policy could lead to serious consequences, including those beyond termination from the department. SHOULD is used instead where the policy is suggesting 'best practice', or in other words, policies that might have reasonable justifications for why someone wouldn't comply with them.
Medicare
