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

a much more risky trait.
疾病治疗
一旦你所得的疾病显示出来，宫廷医师将提供至多四种治疗方案。实验治疗方案有最好的预期治疗结果，但是成功几率较低，且失败时结果更糟糕。

| Drastic (high cost) | Cured | 0 | ||

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).
