Jump to a rat shoot level after the current level:
--------------------------------------------------
Enter 7287 into the fax machine and activate the green button.

Level select:
-------------
Start the game using the hospital -L<level number> command line.

Level skip:
-----------
Press C on the board game screen before a level starts. Then,
click on any part of the board to advance to that level.

Bonus level:
------------
When you are brought up with the fax machine, click on the buttons 24328,
Green Button, 7287, Green Button, 999. You will hear a telephone ring
louder than the others to confirm correct code entry. When you complete
the level, you will be brought to the "Rat Shoot" level. Finish that level,
and you will be brought back to the game board. However, this time you will
see your pointer. Hold C and click on the other piece (to the left of the
screen and in the shape of a lady that is green). If nothing happens,
release C. If done correctly, you will se a short FMV sequence and will
be brought to a secret level. The game may restart after a while, but it
will not damage your progress. If it does not reset, you will eventually
see pregnant women.

Multiple items:
---------------
Hold [Shift] while clicking on an object to put in a room (for example, a
radiator, bed, etc.) to get five of them instantly. However, if you hold
[Ctrl] you will get ten of that item. This is especially useful when
placing the chairs that your patients like so much.


Happy patients:
---------------
Place plenty of radiators, turn the heating up, but not too high because people
will overheat and become sick. Place a plant in every room and at least two in
every separate block. Also, place plenty of drinks machines.

Less breakdowns:
----------------
To cut down on the number of machines that break down, place a fire extinguisher
next to the machine. Note: Machines will still break down, but not as often.

Strange staff members:
----------------------
Click and drop a few members of the staff into an empty wing of the hospital,
then trap them inside the wing (i.e. cover the floor with a line of plants).
There has to be no way for them to escape. Once they are all trapped, click
on any or all of them, and fire them. Watch what happens. Different things
happen to Doctors, nurses, etc. This always works in the demo, if the staff
are trapped in the south-east wing and the narrow passageway is blocked with
plants.

Shorter waiting times:
----------------------
To cut the waiting time of the GP's office down, build two GP's offices when you
first start at the hospital. When your hospital starts to get busy, especially
in the later levels, think about installing another reception desk.

Better start:
-------------
When you are first building your hospital, set the game speed on slowest. This will
give you plenty of time to build the hospital. After you have finished, select the
option that will open your hospital. This will allow you open sooner than the other
hospitals. Once you are done, set the game speed to fastest to start getting patients
in.

Highest rank:
-------------
The highest possible VIP remark is actually: "What a storming hospital. When
I'm next seriously ill take me there!" (Cash Grant $4,000)
