Any form of medicine can be used whenever a [[doctoring|doctor]] tends to an [[injury]] or [[disease]]. In most cases, medicine does not directly cause healing. Instead, using medicine and better types of medicine will increase [[tend quality]], increasing the [[injury#Healing rate|rate of healing]] for injuries, or slowing down progression of a disease. For [[gut worms]] and [[muscle parasites]], tend quality is directly used to cure the disease. | Any form of medicine can be used whenever a [[doctoring|doctor]] tends to an [[injury]] or [[disease]].

Herbal medicine is a cost-efficient choice for treating injuries and illnesses. With a good doctor, herbal medicine will be sufficient to treat almost all [[disease]]s, where its maximum tend quality of 70% will suffice. Even if you don't have a good doctor, if a patient is sufficiently far ahead of their disease, then herbal can be used to save industrial medicine. | Herbal medicine is a cost-efficient choice for treating injuries and illnesses.

| − | + | Under most circumstances it is not practical to use herbal medicine for surgery, as a 60% medical potency means surgery has a greater chance to fail. But in the right setup, it is possible to reach the 98% [[surgery|surgery success chance cap]]. With herbal medicine, you can reach the 98% surgery success in the following conditions: | |
* Surgeon with 8 Medical skill, and with (at least) 100% [[Manipulation]] and 100% [[Sight]] | * Surgeon with 8 Medical skill, and with (at least) 100% [[Manipulation]] and 100% [[Sight]] | ||

| − | Note that some surgeries, like [[carcinoma]] removal, are more difficult than usual. Others, like [[ovum]] extraction {{BiotechIcon}}, are much easier and require less stringent conditions. It is also possible to use herbal medicine for [[prisoner]]s and other pawns you don't care about, even if you don't reach the surgery success cap. | + | Note that some surgeries, like [[carcinoma]] removal, are more difficult than usual.
