Does the hospital do anything?

[end_game_13]

I have yet to see the worker heal any one or move from their location.

They get a buff to move speed, does that mean they are suspose to go and pick up rats?

They go retrieve wounded Rats and heal them at the hospital. Make sure you have medical supplies made in the pharmacy for them,

The doctor has a range. Make sure it's close to the usual battle zone if you want it to be useful. Click the gear icon of the hospital to see if the doctor can reach targets.

Also as sonar said, make sure you have enough medicine to heal your wounded rats.

It'd be nice if rats just had enough common sense to go lay down if they get low on HP. I've had so many rats collapse at the arena, ffs. I don't really like the gimmick of rats just coming to the doctor and wasting your medicine when they can sleep it off, save that for emergencies.

Must be a range issue, My guards tend to want to roam far from the city walls and fight past the defenses, all alone, and die one at a time.

This and also running pass a ton of enemies to attack one way far away while the ones he pass are attacking my base.

100% agree with you on this.
This should also go for the Hunters if they are low on hp, they better go to bed and get some rest.

The fooly healthed ratizens will keep doctor so busy that hospital useless. But when all fine doctor will save hurted ratizens on arena or battlefield.

Everything has already been said but to sum it up. Hospital Rat will retrieve wounded rats, and if a rat is sick or low on health they can go and get a health boost from him.

rescue your wounded rat and provide necessity buff

Depends on how good is your supply / extra supply to spare.
I prefer to keep coal on my smelters, flowers for my beehives, frogs for food, etc.

Edit.
I prefer to slave my medicine workers on Nosclin elixirs.
Way better than regular medicine and I don't waste food on bats to make the vamp elixir.

I hope to add a setting to determine the priority. Treat those who fell due to fighting first.

They often die due to loss of rescue.

Also making the doctor work overtime if some one got wounded when the doctor is sleeping.

I lost a rat I could not reach (other side of map) and the doctor choose the worst time to take a nap.

I hate to be that guy, but irl doctors have shifts for that. Schedule them to rest in different times and all. But still, I dislike that such a niche job has a range at all, since it means even if you gonna make 24 hour setup two stations gonna have different coverage and have a potential of messing up things. Also there's a requirement to be at a desk to take a job. Once I had two rats knocked out, I saw a doctor coming and picked up one. Doctor turned around and left back to the station because I picked up the rat he was going for.

irl doctos will sacrifice their sleep time for the safety of a patient in critical condition if no one else is available at the moment.

Sauce, work with doctors.
