Doctor is a role-specific class rather than an automatic upgrade for every player. Decide whether its documented focus matches the work you want to perform, then use the current class panel to confirm the purchase. Treat level upgrades as a separate decision from the base unlock.
Decide whether Doctor fits your role
Start with playstyle, not price. Doctor makes sense when the documented role in the facts table is the assignment you intend to perform regularly. If another hospital role occupies most of your time, compare the alternatives before committing to a specialist class.
The class roster gives the broader role comparison, while the best class guide helps match a class to a preferred playstyle. Use those comparisons to answer “Which role fits me?” before asking whether the Doctor unlock is affordable.
Make that comparison before saving, so affordability does not become the only reason to choose a class in your run.
Open the medicine guide only when the question shifts from class choice to treatment items.
Confirmed Doctor facts
| Detail | Current practical answer |
|---|---|
| Unlock cost | 900 cash |
| Class role | Healing and patient treatment |
| Confirmed ability | Treatment restores Sanity |
This is the complete fact set for evaluating the base class. The cost answers whether the unlock is within reach; the role and ability answer whether the purchase supports the assignment you prefer.
Purchase and upgrade workflow
- Decide whether the documented role is the one you want to prioritize.
- Set the savings target from the confirmed table.
- Open the current class panel and compare its base package with that table.
- Read the full next-level description separately from the unlock details.
- Compare the displayed benefit with its displayed cost before upgrading.
Separating the base purchase from the next level prevents an unclear upgrade from obscuring a straightforward class choice. If the base package matches your intended role but the next level does not explain a useful change, the two decisions can have different answers.
For wider progression planning, use the shift guide. It keeps the class purchase from becoming a substitute for a complete shift plan.
Upgrade and equipment boundary
No particular starting item is confirmed for the base Doctor package. Do not infer equipment, a separate trigger amount, or another class effect from the class name.
Final purchase check
Use three questions at checkout:
- Does the documented role match the work I plan to do?
- Does the live base package match the confirmed table?
- Is the next-level change clear enough to justify its current cost?
If any answer is no, pause that purchase. The first question sends you back to class comparison; the second identifies a possible version change; the third keeps an unclear level purchase separate from the base class.
