For someone who has grown up with the NHS, politics is an inescapable concern here, from the very start of the game's gleeful opening scene, in which a surgeon walks heroically into an operating theatre and readies a chainsaw, before refusing to operate when the patient's credit card is declined.Įven when you ignore the strange landscape of private medical insurance, Theme Hospital can't help but make you think about the real world, because healthcare remains the ultimate political cat-toy, cherished and knocked about by the whims of people who ultimately don't rely on it very much.

And then? Then we would step away and let the simulation run for a good long while without any more input from us. We would employ excellent doctors and excellent nurses, and knock up a ward, a staff room, a toilet block. One of us would take the reins - an easy enough level, say Sleepy Hollow or another one of the early stages - and would build out the basic skeleton of a working organisation. Home from university, my sister and I had a very particular way of playing Theme Hospital. Obviously, I'm talking about healthcare administration.
