Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In some games, medical treatment isn't a big deal. You might be able to Heal Thyself or just eat or drink something, take a nap, or even simply stop fighting to get better. Sometimes, the moment you get sick or injured, it's Game Over. Other times, medical treatment takes a bit of effort, but it's not the main focus of the game. And sometimes, you can't even get sick or injured. Well, This Is Not That Trope. These are games where the whole point is to give medical treatment to one or more injured or sick characters. They often involve role-playing as a doctor, nurse, or veterinarian and quite often you can take your time (occasionally overlapping with the trope Take Your Time if the illness or injury would require critical attention in real life), but sometimes they can be a Timed Mission where you have to treat the character(s)' problem/s quickly before they die. In games where many different characters are coming in, there might be a risk of either one of them dying while you're busy tending to the others, or running out of room (e.g. you have six beds, but then in comes a seventh patient). Characters' deaths may result in Game Over, or, if there are multiple characters, may simply detract from your score. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Usually, the aim of the game is just "treat this character's illness/injury" or "treat both/all of these characters' illnesses/injuries", but other times it's "give medical treatment to as many characters as you can before the time runs out", "treat their illness without getting sick yourself", or "give medical treatment to X number of characters before the time runs out". More realistic games of the genre tend to be Simulation Games as well, usually those revolving around surgery. May overlap with Sick Episode, Find the Cure!, The Dentist Episode, Magic Antidote, The Plague, or Injured Limb Episode. Contrast Ultra Super Death Gore Fest Chainsawer 3000 for games about hurting people. Compare Disaster Relief Game and Contamination Situation, where treating the patient might not be the only goal of the game. Do not confuse this with Playing Doctor.

Guild Wars 2: In the game generally, all characters have the ability to revive dead/unconscious PCs, and doing so gives you XP and advances an achievement track. Part of the Path of Fire storyline has a minigame where you have to treat as many injured refugees as possible, before protecting them from the Herald of Balthazar who will kill them. The "treat injured NPCs" aspect of this is a common task in the Renowned Heart quests. |

The Trauma Center games are about a young Tokyo doctor who starts out treating mundane injuries and illnesses, then, over the course of the game, treats several variants of a body-horiffic parasite-based biological weapon called "G.U.I.L.T." Each strain causes a different affliction: one will use Combat Tentacles to carve up a patients insides, while another will secrete carcinogens, causing tumors. | |

Neopets: One plot had a sub-plot about treating Neopets who'd turned into wraith-like creatures, as well as Neopets (and Queen Fyora) who'd sustained injuries in battle. One April Fool's joke had everybody's Neopets get a disease called the "Scourgies" and it could only be cured by other people, so users were buying the cures and sending them to other users. |

The 1988 videogame Life and Death and its sequel were probably the first games ever to attempt anything close to a realistic surgical simulation. The first game dealt with abdominal diseases, such as an inflamed appendix. The second game went with brain surgery. Both games had you diagnosing patients in person, scheduling various radiology exams, studying up on the specific procedures involved, and finally taking a (literal) stab at it in the operating room. Both games were notoriously difficult, since you had to memorize an entire surgical procedure with dozens of steps (no photos or illustrations provided!) and then carry it out flawlessly under pressure in order to avoid killing your patient. | |

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: Multiple side-quests require you to cure NPCs of The Plague spreading through Vvardenfell. While not a mini-game per se, the Game System gives you a multitude of ways to accomplish that goal, such as learning and casting a Cure Blight spell, casting it from a purchased scroll, or mixing/buying an alchemical potion with the same effect and giving it to the patient via dialogue. Additionally, some patients are found in difficult-to-reach locations or behind enemy lines, so the actual curing is the easier part of the job. | |

Whether Pathologic is this trope is debated by the fandom. On one hand, you play as a sort of doctor-shaman whose goal is to uncover the nature of the plague that's rotting the town; on the other, you explicitly can't save everyone, and most players find it hard enough just to keep themselves alive. The endings are similarly varied; you can stop the plague or let it run its course to prevent an arguably greater disaster, with plague victims you've healed or with nobody. | |

Valiant Hearts has minigames about treating people but isn't the main focus. While you play as the Belgian nurse Anna, your main objective for the most part is to treat as many wounded soldiers as possible - and believe it or not, when we say as many wounded soldiers, the term is neutral as you get to heal both French and German soldiers - while the Great War happens. | |
