The cost column shows the gold cost of standard treatment with the cost of best available treatment in parenthesis.

Chance of success for the standard treatment is Learning Skill x 4 for most cases with the following exceptions:

• For Smallpox, chance of success is Learning Skill x 3.
  
• For Bubonic Plague, chance of success is Learning Skill x 2.
  
• For Infirm, chance of success is Learning Skill x 4 - Character's Age.

The chance of success for the best treatment available is Learning Skill x 8 for most cases with the following exceptions:

• For Smallpox, chance of success is Learning Skill x 6.
  
• For Bubonic Plague, chance of success is Learning Skill x 4.
  
• For Infirm, chance of success is Learning Skill x 8 - Character's Age.

Since the May 26 update, the character is no longer sent away during recovery.
Instead, he or she receives a trait that nullify all of their skills for the duration of the treatment.
Once treatment is complete, the character gets all their skills back.


Lover's Pox is not curable even today so I don't think I should have included it in this list. But if you really really want the ability to cure Lover's Pox, I made an addon mod "Lover's Pox Curable" that allows you to cure it.


If you have the "Anatomical Studies" perk, the cost to train a physician and the cost to all treatments are half the normal price.


Sponsoring a physician's education and treating people's wounds and diseases will provide an opinion boost from that character.


Since the May 26 update, the character is no longer sent away during recovery, therefore they can no longer wander to other courts during treatment.


When a character is sent to become a physician or when they need to be isolated to recover from a serious disease, they are no longer literally sent away from your court. Instead, they get a trait that effectively set all their skills and prowess to zero for the duration of the training or treatment, after which, all their skills go back to normal.


If the Head of Dynasty dies while their heir is away on physician training, the realm will be in turmoil because all of his or her skills will be at zero. In this case, you can use the new decision "Recall Head of Dynasty to Court" to get the new King or Queen back to the court.

If you don't use the decision above, the heir will still return to court at the end of the training period with their skills restored.

Unfortunately, you can't use such decision if the player heir is undergoing sanatorium/isolated medical treatment. With the realm's leader knocking on the heaven's door, political "vultures", domestic and extra-national, will attempt to exploit the power vacuum to advance their agenda at all costs.

However, the new Head of Dynasty will still return to court at the end of the treatment with their skills restored (if they survive that is).

Removed the Incapacitating effect from the Physician in Training trait because it was causing the Incapable trait to be automatically applied and that was not the intention. I replaced it with an AI_Energy debuff and I hope this will be enough to keep the character from making their own decisions during training.

12th December 2021

When the character is cured from either either Bubonic Plague or Smallpox, he or she acquires immunity against the disease.

I want to thank Tobbzn from "The Way of Kings" mod for his help answering my questions about CK3 scripting.
