Plywood Studios

"I hear that Roderick Cushion guy is filming a new medical drama at Plywood Studios. Just what we need, another show about a handsome doctor. If anyone from Plywood Productions is listening, I'm still waiting to hear back about my show. I don't want to spoil it for you, but let's just say it's about a professional bowler that sells inter-dimensional mysteries. Actually, that's, that's pretty much it..."

- Harrison Wolff

Plywood Studios
''Welcome to Plywood Studios, where the producers of a new medical drama have asked you to run their show. They want a real administrator to add "validity, dynamism and an amusing, gimmicky quality". On the show, titled "Back Wards", Roderick Cushion will be playing a senior doctor who's inexplicably forgotten all his training. They've decided to call the character Dr Roderick Cushion, because, well, I'd actually rather not get into that again. It's just simpler for Mr Cushion, okay? Let's leave it at that.''

''To produce a compelling, County-gripping hit show, you'll need to work on developing your main character, Dr Roderick Cushion. People don't like characters who tread water, it reminds them of their desperate, repetitive existences. Roderick won't fraternise with the rest of the cast on his breaks - not on his salary! - so he's got his very own trailer. If you can't find him, he'll probably be in there. Oh, and to inject some urgency into proceedings, the actors will be curing, trying to at least, real patients. What could go wrong?''

Roderick Cushion
Roderick Cushion will be the sole member of staff present in the hospital at the outset of the level. He functions similarly to any other doctor, with two distinctions:
 * The player may not select room assignments for him, he will work in any room for which he is qualified (including skills that must be trained), although he can be picked up and manually placed.
 * He will take his breaks in his trailer in the centre of the map. He cannot be picked up while he is inside.

Illnesses Encountered
Below is a list of illnesses that will appear in Plywood Studios, and the rooms that will be required to treat them. Illnesses may arrive as a general admittance, as an emergency only basis , or possibly both.

The icon with a number next to it, represents how many patients can be expected if this illness appears in emergencies.

Illnesses with a Star Level(,or) next to them will only appear after that Star Level has been achieved. 1 Since Headcrabedness is a rarer variant of Lightheadedness, and not its own illness, any patient, normal or VIP, may have it instead.

Trivia
If the player constructs rooms facing the Scene A plot, construction equipment will overlap existing hospital rooms during hospital expansion.
