宫廷医师

A Court Physician is responsible for treating diseases in their liege's court. It is one of the most important honorary titles. Recruiting or appointing a Court Physician requires The Reaper's Due DLC.

Court physicians are more likely to treat diseases successfully if they are highly skilled and have high opinion of the patient. Before seeking treatment, it may be wise to bestow them gifts and additional honorary titles. It is harder to ensure they like your family, but it helps if they're the same culture/religion/dynasty. Court Physicians also have a chance of removing the trait from newborns, or give the newborn some health to increase chances of survival.

Symptom treatment

When a character gains their first symptom, the court physician will begin treating the symptoms and suggest a preliminary diagnosis.

The best symptom treatment restores up to 2 health and 2 of every skill. Treatments cannot improve your attributes beyond negating the penalties from disease, but the tooltips do not make this clear.

The treatment tends to be better with a skilled Court Physician (high learning, trait) and a patient who is or . Opinion does not matter at this stage.

Court physicians cannot treat an , making a much more risky trait.

Disease treatment

Once the disease becomes manifest, the court physician will offer up to four treatment options. The more experimental treatments have the best potential outcomes, but lower chance of success and worse failure modes.

Treatment option	Branch	Good outcome	Bad outcome	Requirements
Experimental	Regular Experimental	+3	-3	Adult. Not craven. Brave or decent physician.
	Drastic (high cost)	Cured	0
Mystic	Several (see below)	60% chance of Cured, 40% chance of +1	50% chance of -1, 50% chance of -2 with additional chance of , , or	Adult. Physician has trait. Supernatural events enabled.
Standard		+2	-1
Cautious		+1	0	Not brave. Child, craven, or paranoid.
No treatment		0	0

Good treatments last 2 years (5 years for Cancer, Gout, or Syphilitic). Bad treatments last 1 year. Neutral treatments, shown above as "0", merely prevent seeking treatment again for a short time.

Drastic experimental treatment

If the patient selects experimental treatment, there's an additional check for whether the physician attempts a "drastic" treatment. A drastic treatment means paying a high cost for significantly better health odds. That cost means a random selection from: , , , , , or . Except for the first two, they also come with the trait for 100–400 days, with a 70% chance of resolving well and a 30% chance of getting an .

Normally there's a 20% chance of the treatment being drastic, but it's bumped to 50% if the physician has any of the following: physician_good_trigger, learning at least 25 or below 15, , , , or .

Experimental+drastic treatment is recommended for deadly diseases such as . It is not recommended if becoming an eunuch would end your game. However, once you start aiming for drastic treatments, you might as well continue until cured, because does not stack.

Mystic treatment

The mystic treatment option has a large number of different outcomes. Aside from varying in terms of effectiveness, it will have some other impact - usually granting the patient some trait, although sometimes the physician or one of the patient's children might be killed instead. These outcomes are almost always negative. Mystic treatments are thus generally not recommended, aside from possibly in the case of severe diseases when experimental treatments are not an option (such as if the patient is craven).
