Ointment

Integumentary remedy; can soothe a burning patient. It is the only treatment that can be administered at check-in (if the patient was put out by hand rather than a Fire Extinguisher) or directly on a hospital bed without needing DNA analysis or diagnosis first.

Ointment is an integumentary treatment item in Animal Hospital (Anomaly) used for Rashes, with a notable exception to the normal diagnosis loop: it's the only treatment that can be given directly at check-in (if a burning patient was put out by hand) or straight on a hospital bed, without needing DNA analysis or diagnosis first.

Ointment is a treatment medicine, not a purchasable item — it's given to patients during diagnosis. See the full symptom-to-medicine table for how it fits alongside every other treatment.
