'Medic' is a medical diagnostic simulation program that I am in the process of developing, and which I will be releasing in the near future.  It will be an inter-active computer game in which you diagnose a number of patients based on their symptoms. You will carry out many tests using a variety of instruments and equipment.

'Medic' will be a computer game for enjoyment .... it will not feature any offensive, distressing or controversial ailment or procedure. It will feature a number of patients of various ethnic backgrounds, male and female, troubled by a wide range of afflictions. You will examine the patients, ask questions, perform tests, analyse samples, get lab reports, peruse x-rays, employ a range of instruments and equipment, assess the patient and proffer a diagnosis.

'Medic' will also feature a grumpy no-nonsense superintendent who will be quick to berate you if you perform an incorrect or inappropriate examination or procedure.
He will also be quick to commend you on your efficiency.
