๐Ÿ“– The story

Scrubs on, no shortcuts. Every shift is played live โ€” diagnosing patients, ordering the right tests, delivering babies and cracking tricky cases โ€” all the way to the top of the hospital without skipping a single day on the ward.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Reach the **top of the Doctor career**, playing **every shift actively** โ€” never sending your Sim to work as a rabbit-hole.
