How to play a surgeon in LifeSim

Describe your surgeon in the text box with a name, an age, a specialty, and a real city.
Use place search to find a real hospital, clinic, or café on the 3D map and walk there.
Talk to colleagues, friends, and family in your own words in person or by text message.
Set life goals and a daily to-do list to balance hospital routines with outings and happenings.

A sample life: a resident in Baltimore

Elena, 28, starts her first week as a surgical resident in Baltimore, Maryland. She uses place search to go to The Johns Hopkins Hospital on the 3D map. She sets a life goal to earn the respect of the Chief of Surgery during her overnight shifts.

On Wednesday, Elena texts a fellow resident to vent about hours of charting electronic medical records. Her colleague remembers the chat on Friday and invites her to a birthday drinks happening to unwind. Elena edits her boss in the cast menu to make him strict, and he texts her early Saturday morning.

Life outside the operating room

Real surgeons deal with chronic back pain from standing under hot lights and heavy stress from long on-call hours. Those overnight shifts often disrupt sleep and strain family and social lives. In LifeSim, your partner, kids, and friends have their own routines and notice when you miss plans.

When you have a weekend off, you can plan an outing to a local park or café. You invite friends in a group text thread, walk to the spot on the map, and talk together. You can also attend map happenings like karaoke, a house party, or a pickup game.

Prompts that work for a surgeon life

You start by describing your character in one text box. Include your name, your age, your surgical specialty, and a real city. The game reads the city name and puts you on the real streets.

Try writing "Marcus, 36, a heart surgeon in Houston, Texas, who works long shifts at the Texas Medical Center". You can also try "Clara, 31, a core surgical trainee in London, UK, studying for her MRCS exams". For an older role, write "David, 58, a trauma surgeon in Berlin, Germany, who mentors young medical students".

A day in the life in Cleveland

Your morning in Cleveland, Ohio, starts early. You check your daily to-do list, which includes morning rounds, reviewing pre-op notes, and calling your sister. You walk your character to the Cleveland Clinic on the 3D map.

Buildings show from the outside, so you play out the hospital hours by talking with colleagues in your own words. You discuss scrubbing in, surgical loupes, and doing a time-out with the team before a coronary bypass. After your shift, you meet a neighbor at a restaurant, and the day ends with a recap of your moments.
