Hey guys, what a nice old game this is. I am close to finish the last level and wanted to post some tricks that really helped me. Some tricks are from other people, but some tricks are not to find on the internet. Thats why i wanted to write it here. If you have other tips or something i wrote is wrong, feel invited to write it here.

Radiation is most important to keep your personal and costumers happy.
- Floors need separat heating
- its much easier to cover all the space with radiators if you turn the radiators on maximum power

Personal
- the more people you train at one time in one room, the more time it needs for everyone to learn (3 is good)
- hire only junior doctors for training. No specializations (for now) and a good "eye for detail" . They learn very fast and later they will work for the loan of a handyman
- self trained consultants will work for ~120$ if the heating is good and the pause is set to 40-45%. If the heating is broken again, pay them bonuses
- dont build video games and pool tables in the staff rooms. It costs more time to recover, because the personal will walk a lot around in the staff room. Just let them chill on a sofa with TV
- every first day of a month, new personal will be offered (turn game speed on slowest to hire the best peronal or the computer will hire them very fast)
- let only consultant handyman, nurses and doctors work in your hospital (as possible)

Maschines
- Dont buy new machines. Its cheaper to rebuild the room.
- your maschines can exlode on an earthquake if the "level" minus "times used" is under 6 ( i read that on other forum, but it seems to be right) Repair the maschine or delete the room and rebuild it after the earthquake.
- exploded rooms can not be deleted, so always have an eye on your maschines

Epidemics
- build a second reception desk (no reception woman needed) at the other end of your hospital and the health inspector will always walk there
- building a labyrinth of benches around the second reception desk will give you extra time to heal all patients
- build a large area hospital to avoid many peoples at one place

Research
- use the "spezialisation research" to improve selected drugs. Choosable in the drug case book. Improving you drugs is most important at the beginning
- dont forget to upgrade the research room with a computer and the atom analyser if you researched them
- you can stop reseaching diagnostic equipment for now, if you invented the scanner. Blood bank and ultra scanner are not necessary to diag all diseases

Structure
- build diagnostic areas with own GP-Offices for efficient walk ways (a GP-Office next to a ward for example)
- toilets and a staff room should be build in every area

Thanks for this. I can't believe I have been replacing machinery for a high cost, you are right it is cheaper to just rebuild the entire room!!!

Here is another good tip on Theme Hospital

Emergency
- build cure rooms like pharmacy, operation room, psychiatric room etc. close to the door were emergency patients come from the helipad as close as you can. That way the patients are cured quickly and efficiently.
