More Treatments for Diseases Overhauled
This mod adds treatments for and adjusts some conditions from [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2174246491]Diseases Overhauled[/url]. It is not intended to provide easy cures, but an attempt to allow improvement and not stray too far from the original intent. Some diseases are still without cure because the real world says so. (And Healer mech serum has to be good for something.)
See bottom of this description for more cures and other useful mods.
Drug Regimens
Some conditions can be treated with a mix of drugs and meds. The individual effects of the drugs are not applied; there is no danger of developing addictions directly. The treatments are created as surgeries and depend on all the same factors. Failure won't cut the patient but cause a medical condition as a side effect, from frequent and mild (e.g. hangover) to rare and serious (e.g. heart attack). Failure is more likely than failure of regular surgeries (at least 8% compared to at least 2%). Note that one possible side effect is an alcohol high, which might tip a heavy drinker over into addiction.
[u]!! Drug regimens (**) will only be listed if all ingredients are available !![/u] Check the disease's description for details and make sure all ingredients are in stock.
Conditions
Appendicitis (Adjustment)
A new stage ("critical") is added which downs the pawn at 80% progression (originally 90%), so that guests/visitors can be operated on earlier.
**Bardel Syndrome (Cure)
Alleviates the condition to the almost symptom-free stage immediately. The condition will then abate over the course of 20 to 35 days.
**Campbell's Disease (Treatment)
Alleviates the condition to the symptom-free stage (only just). The rate of progression will probably be different after treatment. (The initial severity of the condition is lowered.)
**Cerebral Artery Stenosis (Cure)
**Chawbaeck's (Cure)
Drastic improvement or deterioration may occur, then the condition will abate over the course of 3 to 6 days, during which secondary conditions can still be induced with reduced chance.
Encapsulated Pathogen (Cure)
Surgeries are added which remove the encapsulated pathogen. They require 4 medicine and a somewhat skilled surgeon (8+). If the procedure fails, the patient is cut and the ruptured capsule infects them with the disease contained in it.
**Epstein-Barr Virus (Treatment [Cure with 1.5])
1.4 Suppresses virus activity to the symptom-free stage from which the patient's condition will deteriorate again. Rate of progression will probably be different after treatment. (The first stage is made visible and renamed "symptom-free".)
1.5 Drastic improvement or deterioration may occur, then the condition will abate over the course of 20 to 30 days.
**Hansen-Kampff disease (Cure)
Drastic improvement or deterioration may occur, then the condition will abate over the course of 10 to 17 days, during which secondary conditions can still be induced with reduced chance.
**Hepatitis K (Treatment [Cure with 1.5])
1.4 Alleviates to the [i]balanced[/i] stage, from which the patient's condition may deteriorate again.
1.5 Drastic improvement or deterioration may occur, then the condition will abate over the course of 20 to 30 days.
Kindred D#ck Virus (Adjustment)
Tend duration is shortened from 36 to 24 hours.
Peripheral Pathway Obstruction (Cure)
Several revascularization surgeries are added. Depending on the condition's type (indistinguishable for the player; all types carry the same label), the surgeries have increasing requirements on the number of glitterworld medicine and the surgeon's skill level.
Psoriasis (Cure)
External psoriasis can be treated with an herbal poultice (herbal medicine/raw healroot with SeedsPlease: Lite, cloth, neutroamine). Repeated application may be necessary because of low success rate, but no negative effects are expected in case of failure. If successful, full recovery takes 4 to 6 days, during which new instances of the condition can still spawn with reduced chance.
**Psoriasis Interna (Cure)
Full recovery will take 4 to 8 days, during which new instances of the condition can still spawn with reduced chance.
Secondary Damage (Treatment/Cure)
Secondary damage is now tendable (duration 120 hours). At 100% tend quality there is a 50% chance that it can be cured over time. This depends on the condition's rate of progression which is determined by a random factor for each occurance.
Stomach Ulcer (Cure)
Cauterization surgery needs a somewhat skilled surgeon (8+). There is a chance of relapse during the recovery period of six to nine days.
**Voight-Bernstein Disease (Fix, Treatment only for 1.4)
Fix: Tumors no longer induce VBD in individual body parts.
1.4 treatment: Alleviates to the earliest stage from which the patient's condition may deteriorate again, probably at a different rate.
1.5 No drug regimen; the condition can be cured with tending over time.
Inoculations
Inoculations now provide immunity to more conditions.

Thanks to all of them for creating the mod/keeping it alive!
This mod contains HediffDefs and patched stages which are derived directly from the original HediffDefs. Some code was copied and adapted. This is clearly labeled inside this mod's XML files.
The dll contains a new workerClass for surgery (switch hediff for hediff), which consists entirely of code adapted from the base game.
