I HAD NO IDEA!!! OMG!!! I've never picked a doctor SINCE ambitions because I prefer non rabbit holes (usually have one rabbit hole worker in the household just so I know what day it is! :lol: but I had no idea of the extra things the doctor could do outside of work! SO COOL!

I'm not voting on this one because it's too difficult for me to decide on only one favorite.

But those community lot clinics the doctors get to run crack me up every time. I didn't even realize Ambitions was required, the scenarios are in-career opportunities that spawn during the workday.

Doctor says, "Open wide and say 'Moo!'"
(patient opens wide and says "Ahh!")
"No, no, not 'Ahh." Say 'Moo!'"
(how does one say "Moo" while opening wide?)

Doctor examines patient, reads over chart, and hands them a capsule the size of a small horse.
Patient looks at it as if to say, "And what exactly do you expect me to do with that?!"

It's really tricky to get through all of the patients who show up, especially when it gets crowded and we don't keep track of the order in which everyone arrives. My friendlier medical professionals try to chat with some of them, which then makes the others angry because they have to wait too long or the scenario times out before enough of them are treated for it to be considered successful.

I like the career because, although it's kind of artificial with sims who would never be ill suddenly becoming so whenever the doctor goes out and about on their own time, it still feels like they are doing something to help their fellow sims just about every day. I wonder if an Evil doctor could develop a knack for actually not being helpful on purpose but charging their patients or the insurance companies or whoever pays for these treatments the same. >:)

The most annoying thing is the number of family occasions my medical professionals have had to miss because that blasted pager goes off and they are expected to report to the Emergency Room (rabbithole) during all kinds of off-hours. But that's also why it's one of the highest paying rabbithole careers, even beating out the Level 10 Military one with its single 18-hour shift per week.
