Event Guide
Critical Patient
Critical priorityRecovery-first triage
Real in-game context matters here because event pages should teach where the pressure actually appears, not just name the mechanic.
What triggers it
Usually appears during the ambulance wave and has a limited stabilization timer.
Best response
Get them into recovery first and only then worry about lower-pressure tasks.
First move
Stabilize the critical patient first, even if an easier room looks more comfortable to finish.
What happens if you fail
Critical patients punish teams that sort by convenience instead of urgency. Delay turns a recoverable case into a dead patient.
Best tools or prep
- • Open recovery bed
- • Fast movement
- • Room discipline
Common mistake
Players often clear a nearly-finished easy patient first and lose the critical timer.
