Just a guess, but I think they started a brand-new family and made them a doctor before they had a chance to meet everybody.

You do know you don't have to fill every tasks that the game rolls, don't you? If you can't do that one, then do one you can, and when it rolls to something else fill the next one. You can get around what you can't do, unless it narrows down in the end to 'transfer patient' but no other doctor on the lot. (Early game).

And even if the performance bar under the brief case down in Sim panel isn't completely full you can still get promoted. The purpose is to get promoted. We want the purpose to be to heal patients, no, that's not the goal to heal all patients standing in line or in the beds, the goal is to get a promotion. So, you can get around some tasks and wait for it to roll one you can do. You will not be fired for performing adequately.

Tip, keep your doctor in focused mood later in the game. You can get this by either using the pc to research or using the analyzer to practice.

I found this to be incredibly frustrating. So I had him quit his med career and open a shop.

That's why I started the career right at the beginning. Everything worked as it was intended. But I agree, if it doesn't work when you know all sims already, then this is really a bummer...

What do you mean started the career at the beginning? Not sure I understand. My sim started at the bottom of the career but he knows everyone in town... so he couldn't greet patients.
