Transfer patient case issue.

Sorry if I wasted anybody's time with this post. I was finally able to transfer the patient after striking up a conversation with the doctor!

I'm glad you posted. This is good information to have. I'm planning on starting the doctor career today, so if this happens in my game, I know what to do :)

My only problem was there wasn't a doctor there!

@Jeshikwa you have to make sure it's not a nurse, orderly or assistant you're trying to talk to, if you hover over them and their name pops up it should have their title above their name, you need to make sure to talk to the doctor. I tried with everyone else a bunch before I figured it out.

@Shellbug12 I had that problem too. A couple days a week the doctor would leave at about 9am. The doctor would stay later other days though. The doctor career is a little frustrating at first, but once you get promoted to where you can start diagnosing your patients yourself the career is a breeze!

I'm currently doing the doctor career and I noticed no one else works. I'm the only one dealing with the patients?

@windchime00 You would be right! I'm at the top of the career now and there seems to be about 1-3 staff members. The other doctor just seems to be off doing their own thing, not really helping anybody. One will actually do repairs and clean which is nice and the other just sits at the desk answering the phones, but doing nothing with the waiting patients. The sim hospital is really understaffed!!

@Selena_Soule Yeah, that's a bummer. I haven't lost much performance from it though. Not enough to really notice at least!

I'm having this exact problem and I can't seem to find a solution. It's really hurting my work performance because I can't find a way to transfer the patient and so all the beds are full, but no one's getting treated. It's a pain!

Friendly introduction with the doctor didn't work?
The doctor leaves early on some days. When he does, I always just did everything except for transfer the patient case. Eventually, I did end up getting fed up with him leaving early and leaving me with all of those patients, so I just promoted myself to Assistant Nurse. The higher careers DEFINITELY help. You get more time, and eventually can diagnose patients yourself.

To promote yourself, use ctrl + shift + c to bring up the cheat window.
Then, type careers.promote Doctor
Do this until you reach Assistant Nurse or whichever level you want.

To demote yourself, use careers.demote Doctor. This will not demote after you branch off into different careers.

WAIT, I did it! You have to be in an active conversation with the doctor first. Even if the two of you have spoken before, try a friendly interaction first (doesn't matter what) and THEN transfer the case. Works fine!

Awesome! Glad to hear you got it working :D

Actually, if you're still having this issue, I stumbled unto a very simple solution. the "Transfer Patient Case" interaction can easily be found on the patient, under "Examine Patient" once you have a case.
