Bon Voyage, Scrubs! It's time to dig out your travelling trunk, pack up your stethoscope, neatly fold away your doctors coat and slap on some sunscreen, because we're headed to Pebberley Island!

It's been a little while since our last DLC, Bigfoot, hit the ground running with its enormous hairy feet, so we thought it was about time we visited a part of Two Point County that's a little less polar - because who doesn't enjoy a holiday to warmer climes?! Plus, we've been looking for an excuse to couple Bermuda shorts with our serious Doctor's attire for AGES now.
There's a rumour that the secret to eternal life exists somewhere on the Island. I just hope that the death-defying water doesn't taste like something that's been sitting stagnant for ages… because I drank some really old water once and it made me gag….
Aaaaanyways, in Two Point Hospital: Pebberley Island you'll be joining intrepid explorer Wiggy Silverbottom in an exciting new adventure through the tropics. I don't want to say Wiggy's eccentric, but he is a real stickler for cleanliness, so you better make sure your Janitors work their socks and sandals off to banish the germs from your General Diagnostic rooms and everywhere else, frankly. You'll be faced with some utterly overgrown landscape and some brand new illnesses.
Let's have a look at what you can expect:
Pebberley Reef:
This Hospital site sits on the majestic coastline, waves lap the shore nearby and the forest exists just out of reach, but probably close enough to attract insects. You’ll arrive to discover you can only hire janitors with absolutely no experience whatsoever so err… good luck with that. Oh - and watch out for the totally unpredictable weather. Pebberley Reef is somewhat of a microcosm, might be worth getting a pair of those rubber souled shoes to make sure you're grounded at all times.
Overgrowth:
I don't want to go as far as to say the plants are watching you and paying attention to how you run your hospital… but they kind of are. In fact they're not only watching, but they're also judging you. Please the trees to gain ground in the jungle and expand your hospital. Guys… I think they're listening, quick - act Philanthrop-y… *ahem* I, for one, welcome Overgrowth Overlords.
Topless Mountain:
Having visited the Pointy Mountains in the snowy North of Two Point County, you'll likely be shocked at just how flat a mountain can be. I mean really, these elevations are flat enough to build Hospitals on! Build up some cash and kudosh and tropic like it's hot - which it will be - to build some altitudinous healthcare constructions and assist the most sickly traveller.
Wiggy will busy himself with excavating the surrounding area, which is likely to attract hordes of sight seers. Literal hordes. Prepare for waves of sickly tourists as things get pretty crazy. As long as you keep palm and carry on you'll be just fiiiine.
In addition to these new locations, you'll enjoy a plethora of new illnesses, including:
Blank Look - The sufferers facial features have receded out of existence and must be coaxed back with subtle, hydraulic machinery. NOT REALLY! Watch aghast as sufferers faces are quite literally stamped back on to their heads. Harrowing.
Wanderust - Prolonged feelings of sameness have led to dull, tedious pain and a craving for adventure. The sufferers tendency to search for relief in highly precarious, unimaginative activities mean that they pose a great risk to themselves and others… and you, Dear Administrator, can be the one to put all of this right.
Screwball - Recurrent bafflement has caused a build-up of extremely dense negative feelings. The heavy head must be removed and replaced by a lighter, happier head before it's too late.
I'm off for a Margarita. Adios, Beaches!
