1. Verify
Front-of-house decisions
The reception path decides whether a problem becomes an admission mistake or gets rejected cheaply.
Map Guide
Animal Hospital locations guide
Good Animal Hospital runs are won by room discipline, not just item strength. This location guide turns the map into roles: where you verify patients, where you reset sanity, where you solve routine treatment, and where special-case threats can punish the wrong instinct.
2. Treat
Back-room throughput
Once the patient is inside, your route between rooms, supplies, and recovery timing becomes the real economy.
3. Survive
Sanity and special cases
Coffee, cameras, and Room 8 knowledge keep a stable shift from turning into a panic spiral.
Reception / Check-In Desk
Main use: The front line for taking photos, printing badges, and rejecting suspicious patients.
Focus: Patient verification and early-run loss prevention
Most preventable losses start here, so slow down enough to compare window, photo, and camera info.
Office Room
Main use: Home of the CCTV monitor, sticky-note clues, and coffee access nearby.
Focus: Information control, sanity reset, and surveillance discipline
Use this room as your reset point whenever you need to re-check patients or stabilize sanity.
Medical Rooms 1-5
Main use: The standard treatment loop runs here once patients are admitted.
Focus: Core diagnosis, treatment, and patient turnover
Throughput upgrades matter because these rooms define your shift speed.
Emergency Camera Wing
Main use: Unlocked deeper into a run and important for tracking later pressure.
Focus: Late-run surveillance and hidden-pressure detection
Do not ignore it once emergency patterns start appearing on higher shifts.
Supplies Shop
Main use: Your source for tools, upgrades, and treatment-side purchases.
Focus: Economy decisions that shape the whole shift
Buy throughput and sanity tools before novelty items if your goal is consistent clears.
Coffee Area
Main use: Primary renewable sanity refill point.
Focus: Sanity maintenance and recovery rhythm
Treat coffee as a rotation habit, not an emergency button you only visit at 10 sanity.
Surgery Room / Room 8
Main use: Special room tied to the Surgery Monster event chain.
Focus: Special-case event handling rather than standard medicine routing
Know before entering that this room can force a minigame instead of normal patient flow.
