The Scrub Wars franchise was very popular when introduced at the 2014 and 2015 AMSA Annual meetings, the 2014 UC Davis Pre-Health Expo, and the 2013 DevLearn/Adobe Learning Summit (among students, professors, physicians, teaching administrators, parents, & gaming experts).

GAME STORY

Due to the declining work habits and perceived inferior intellect of modern medical students as noted by medical administrators, the deans of every medical school worked collectively to hire the Peyronie Attending (a famous neurosurgeon) and jointly funded the richest physician contract in the history of medicine. The Peyronie Attending will travel from Seattle to Miami by spending a few weeks at every medical school.  Under the guidance of your professional mentors, the Benevolent Attending & the Teaching Attending, you must now withstand the onslaught of an aggressive pimping and testing campaign led by your megalomaniac chief rival. The time to establish dominance on the wards has begun.  Scrub Wars must now take place!

### 1/5 — Inaccurate information

*2021-01-08*

I liked the idea of this game, so I spent $29.99 to purchase the full version. 

The most major problem is that some information is dead wrong. One question asks what the most common cause of chancre is. It says the correct answer is H. Ducrei. However, the correct answer should be T. Pallidum. H. Ducrei is the most common cause of chancroids, which unlike chancres, are painful. 

The second problem is that you can't review the correct answers if you get too many questions wrong. 

I am very angry I spent $30 on this bad game. Please refund my purchase.
