Detect anomalies by asking whether the patient’s information, measurements, appearance, behavior, and treatment response agree. Start with the clearest task-requested evidence, then add a second category before acting on an uncertain scare. Current exact-game sources support the use of patient forms, heart-rate information, temperature around a normal-human anchor, night vision, treatment reveals, and later-night behavioral exceptions.
Step 1: establish patient context
Read the active task and make sure the correct patient is attached to the bed or examination branch. Review the form or computer when available. Current walkthroughs describe identity and injury fields such as photo, name, age, and reason for treatment, but not every field is proven to vary in every build.
Use the form as a baseline, not a standalone detector. A normal-looking record can still require measurements; an unusual injury can still be an ordinary case.
Step 2: use heart-rate information
Current community guides treat plainly impossible heart-rate behavior as a strong warning. A conscious patient paired with a flat or absurd reading deserves immediate reassessment. This page does not publish a complete normal range because no creator-owned threshold was available.
Check that the tool is attached to the active patient and that the reading has settled. If the value changes dramatically during treatment or after a reveal, stop the remembered branch and reread the task.
Step 3: compare temperature
Around 37°C is repeatedly described as a normal-human anchor. Use it to recognize extreme contradictions, not to create a narrow pass/fail interval. Equipment labels, accepted ranges, and edge cases can change in beta.
Temperature is most useful when it adds independent support. A wildly implausible result beside suspicious behavior is stronger than a tiny difference viewed in isolation.
Step 4: add night vision carefully
Night vision can reveal a hidden presence, unusual movement, or another visual clue. Current guides also warn that frightening or hallucination-like imagery can make the view unreliable by itself. Enter night vision with a question, inspect briefly, and leave once it is answered.
If the goggles show something disturbing while the form and measurements remain coherent, recheck rather than immediately escalating. If the patient changes openly during care, the new event may be more decisive than the earlier view.
Step 5: account for later-night behavior
Night 2 coverage introduces changed instructions and a faceless warning. Broader current community pages also describe shapeshifter-like patients that can appear familiar or return in an impossible context while devices seem ordinary. These details are Community reported, not a complete official rule set.
Use behavior as another evidence category: does the identity make sense, should this patient be back, did the task or dialogue contradict the form, or did the patient change? Do not turn vague discomfort into an automatic verdict; look for a concrete mismatch.
Step 6: choose the response
If the evidence remains consistent, follow the patient-specific ordinary treatment. If a decisive contradiction appears or the game exposes an anomaly-response prompt, stop treatment and use the current tool. Community sources identify the wooden crucifix in the treatment-room workflow.
Watch for response feedback, then complete the form/computer decision and cleanup. Never call the next patient while the current case remains attached to the objective.

Detection mistakes
Do not finish a cast or other ordinary branch after the patient changes. Do not repeat night vision until sanity pressure makes the view harder to interpret. Do not promote an approximate temperature anchor into an exact threshold. Do not let one normal device erase an impossible identity context on a later night.
Most importantly, do not merge the older reception-window/photo/CCTV guide into this treatment-room protocol. If your current server displays that different flow, follow it; otherwise mixing both routes creates stations and decisions that may not coexist.
Detection FAQ
What order should I use?
Patient context, requested heart-rate check, temperature, then night vision when useful. Recheck after a treatment reveal.
Is 37°C the exact safe value?
No. It is a community-reported anchor. No official accepted interval is claimed.
Can normal devices still hide an anomaly?
Later-night community coverage says some shapeshifter-like cases may appear normal on devices. Use concrete behavior or identity contradictions as another category.
Should I stare at a faceless patient?
No. Capture the useful clue, look away, protect sanity, and cross-check.
What tool handles a confirmed anomaly?
Current treatment-room guides report the wooden crucifix. Follow the interaction shown by the game; see Crucifix.
