Videogames as Hospital specialities, a thread.

Doom Eternal
Orthopaedics

Noone messes around here. Its all about the rip and tear. Probably needs a day off, but they keep coming. Who the hell gave the SHO a chainsaw?!
Portal 2
Radiology

Clever and always a step ahead. Noone quite understands how they are doing it. Generally hampered by sadistic IT systems.
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Renal

Fiendishly clever and adept at puzzles, but constantly distracted by wierd and wonderful sights. Obsessed with finding rare diseases. Registrar always sounds like she is about to be attacked by a horde of goblins.
Minecraft
Plastic Surgery

Creative and diligent, spends hours building. Sometimes forgets to eat. Often found staring longingly at past creations. Always at risk of a sudden lawsuit, but raking in those gems.
Alien Isolation
Emergency Medicine

Found running between different rooms frantically trying to coax 1970s technology to life. Nothing is ever calm, and if it is, something is about to burst in and cause chaos. Genuine risk of chest bursting.
Super Mario Odyssey
Paediatrics

Bright and cheerful and good with children. Used to dolling out rewards. A random dinosaur on the ward is expected. Usually cleaning up some kind of goop. The adults dont get it, but its magic.
Undertale
Rheumatology

A bit quirky and generally confusing. Spend most of the time trying to work out which specific blood test to ignore. Bombarded by low level threats.
Half Life 3
Dermatology

Still waiting for them to turn up.
Fortnite
Urology

Frantic. Never there when you need them, always turn up when you dont. Like to take the piss. Often found hiding in a bush. Offer a paid dlc service for extra skins.
Metal Gear Solid
Respiratory

Grizzled and always on the move. They have seen some shit. Occasionally something wacky turns up. Dont let them near any new tech, but you want them in the trenches with you.
Fallout 4
Microbiology

The world is dangerous and wearing protection is essential. Supplies are running out. Will end up battling others to keep our options open. Holy fuck what is that and why does it have claws!?
Donkey Kong
GI surgery

Wandering through the hospital in a gang. Wary of things coming out of pipes. The Firm has some interesting characters. For some reason one carries a banana guard.
Bioshock Infinite
Psychiatry

Its all a bit dramatic but we a putting it together. Moments where the system breaks down and progress is made. But in the end it turns out it wasn't quite what you thought and you end up questioning even yourself.
Tetris
Neurology

Its all about the patterns. Things start well but then little errors add up quickly. For some reason everything is in bright colours, but often more interested in how things lock together. It never ends. Pretty cool tho.
Mario Kart
General Practice

Its chaos. Absolute chaos. Things seem to be going your way and then suddenly you are an hour behind. Most of your patients have slipped up on bananas and you can never get what you need. Not many coins either.
Sim City
Public Health

Why the hell are they ignoring you? You can literally see everything. They work behind the scenes to ensure that calamity doesnt ensue. Arent dealing well with the new political DLC.
Super Smash Bros
Academic Medicine

All expert but constantly at war on a shifting landscape. Every once in a while someone picks up a hammer and destroys everything. Noone knows who the new characters are. Everyone hates the guy with the laser gun.
Skyrim
Geriatrics (Older Persons)

Seen it all before and putting right a world that has gone a little to seed. Friend of everyone, but can sometimes wander into some suspect places. Communication 100. Always another quest.
Horizon Zero Dawn
Neurosurgery

Great skills and brave, but the technology is changing and the old guard are facing a new world. Better get used to the robots, they can bite. Noone is quite sure how this all works, but hell lets bash it with a spear.
Pokemon
Haematology

Often found fighting off low level threats, but every once in a while its all to play for. Looking out for that rare catch and hoping they have the right team. Reliable, but difficult to pull out of the pokedex.
No mans sky
Endocrinology

There is a huge and complicated universe filled with untold potential. Everything is complicated and exciting. But it turns out all the tests come back normal and the landscape is a little barren. Very good at managing salt deficiency.
Five Nights at Freddy's
Cardiology

Just watch the monitors. Jesus christ what was that?! Did it move? Quick check the power!! Everything seems calm during the day but 5 in the morning and everyone is hypertensive.
Call of Duty
GUM Clinic

Fed up of 18 year olds blowing their load and developing festering wounds. Not sure why someone has an infected dog bite. Radar would be useful. People need to be more careful with their weapons.
Before you all refer me.. its comedy
