When in a city, a physician can advertise for patients to gain money and experience. The number of patients will depend both on the physician's expertise and living expenses. In turn, the money and experience gained will be dependent on the number of patients.

The physician can advertise services in all the physician skills, or can specialize, advertising only curing services as a therapist, only healing services as a surgeon, or only physic services as a leech.

The physician may need to hire one or more nurses with the Aid skill. As a general physician, a surgeon, or a leech, the total of the Aid skill levels of the physician and the nurses hired must sum to at least the physician's living expenses in hundreds of shells, or the effective living expenses for the purposes of gaining patients is reduced accordingly. Nurses with Aid-1 can generally be hired for 100c/month.

For each die of endurance cured, mostly in making rounds of trainers, the physician or therapist gains 1c, plus experience as per the skill description.

For each point of body healed, the physician or surgeon gains 1c, plus experience as per the skill description.

For each average Physic patient over a month, the physician or leech gains 25 EP and 25(SL.min.M)c, where M is the effective living level in hundreds of shells per month for a physician, or the effective living level in fifties of shells per month for a leech.
