Theme Hospital Walkthrough Level 5 – Simpleton
Simpleton is a simple yet busy hospital with a twist. Any doctors you hire will be junior doctors just out of medical school, so building a training room immediately to begin working on their skills is a must. You start the level with 3 consultants, so keep them happy. If they leave, you are pretty much done for.
Earthquakes become a much more frequent and severe issue on this level as well, so keep an eye on all machines. Every earthquake has the potential to cause significant damage to your clinics and disrupt the entire game. If a room blows up, you risk losing any staff and patients that were using it and the money it costs to rebuild!
Building Your Simpleton Hospital
Building this one is much like the ones that come before it. Try to keep your diagnostic areas in one place and your treatment areas and clinic near both each other and the helipad.
The Research Dept and Training Room need to be built first in order to unlock other technology and rooms quickly and get more trained doctors on staff. Put your Research consultant to work in the Research Dept and your Consultant level Surgeon in your Training Room to train up another surgeon or two.
Throughout this level, you will likely find yourself not only building more areas as they become available but possibly rebuilding if earthquakes cause catastrophic damage to machinery!
