What am I doing wrong with the doctor career?

Ok, I started a doctor and she admitted the patient. I examined her/him and did the sample thingy on that machine. I even transferred the case to the doctor. I have also not transferred the case to the doctor. I have x rayed them and also put my findings in the computer. But the game never once allowed me to give the patient a shot or any other type of treatment. The options never show up nor does it say what they might have. All it does after I examine them is let me talk to them and nothing else. And i can transfer to the doctor.Am I missing something or am I bugged?

Thanx a lot for the help by the way.
What's funny is I don't think my main sim has very high logic, but he has been treating lots of patients, and he's only on the second level of the career (Orderly).
Is it luck, or a bug, or did my sim have more Logic than I thought, lol? (Or is it his cooking skills? He's a very good cook!
(She/her)
That's your long term goal down in the Sim panel? Or on the list of things to do in the top left hand corner. If it's in the top left hand corner you don't have to do them all. You can go all day just doing the ones you want to do, and as they change, do another one, if you can't get that one done. The meter/bar will fill up and you will get the promotion as long as you have met the tasks in the Sim panel under the brief case where you view your real performance meter.
Starry eyes doesn't always have symptoms you can see. I have guessed it right several times because it didn't seem to be another one when stuck between two possible ones. And I have guessed it wrong and took a small hit to the actual performance under careers.
That's bad but you are taught in the first few days to practice analyzing sometimes because it puts your Sim in focused mood and builds logic.
I am level 8 in doctor now I have to wait for that random roll for a pregnant woman and the last shift was all kids. I do like the doctor career more than the detective career, but still waiting on some random roll and high logic not even a good benefit leaves this career lacking. I had a few darker skin toned Sims where it is a horror to see the spots..
It feels like when trying to diagnosis a patient it is like a random roll on loot from a boss mob..
-shrugs-
I just roll with it and I am thankful that our money is tied up for saving for a house. So, I am safe from doing the whole purchase and hope for the best in this game..
Do any of you play with mods? Someone told me this add on made a few of them out dated and that could be the problem.
Also, for the cop career and the scientist career, the only way I can access my notebook/pad is by computer. The icon for it just does not show up in the phone at all. But other than that, those two careers are working fine.
great tip thanks!
> I haven't done that yet worldoflooloo. I am saving that for the next day off from work. RL work that is.. Just don't feel like messing with it and have something go wrong then I have to go to work in the middle of it. I suspect that may be the cause. My Sim still gets no option to treat the patient after several more work days. Not only that but when it asked for me to feed a Sim in the bed, I have no way of doing that either.

Its the same with me, its getting me annoyed.
I had this issue...I had a mod for larger interaction queues, the 50/50 mod removal method exposed the said mod as the culprit. After serious interrogation, I extracted it from my mods folder, locked it up in my recycle bin & emptied it out. Voila! All the new buttons on the cell phone appeared...hopes this helps
My Sim got fired too. I started over and now at level 7. Going to work focused helped get better results. & after reading an online tutorial, I found out that your Sim for the most part won't get successful results from x-ray/treadmill test until level 7+. I really like this career but it's very hard. I try to look at the patient for visual symptoms, but that's not always a good sign either. What's saving my work performance this time around are the home visits. It gives a huge boost to performance, so even if I misdiagnose a Sim I don't get too big of a performance hit.
Ms Bloomberry. Thanx a lot for the tip. I am pretty sure I have that mod you mentioned. I will give that a try next time I log in. Oh by the way, I found a mod manager that makes it a lot easier to take out and install the mods. It's called TS4 Mod manager. It's as simple as unchecking a box to turn the mod off.
Your a life saver Ms. Bloomberry! That fixed the problem. Thank God it wasn't the nudity patch that caused it. LOL.
As a retired RN inn rl, I find this career similar to the medical field in rl...it's a process of elimination and you discover the illness through various tests. If you don't find the answer, just re-test until you do.
That is really strange, because I have started this game with several different Sims in at least two different games. New game etc. There is always three Sims in the beds when you get to the hospital they all have red hearts. This is so we can see what illness they have and by the how they are acting. You can go ahead and cure them. I use the old TS3 style conversation set up ( I don't like how TS4 has conversation choices all over the place) set it in your game settings if you can't find the 'treat patients' because you can treat them on day one. It's been that way for every game I have started, perhaps you have bug or glitch.
