Note that the game itself does not teach you how to play. Without the game manual, it'll take a lot of tedious trial and error to figure out. It took me some digging to find all the info, so I'll compile it here:
A great walkthrough by JMandel:

The full manual, including Dr Lindstrom's Diagnostic and Treatment Methods (step-by-step instructions). Not sure who originally did the transcription, but it must have been a massive effort:

I don't use anesthesia on my patients. I like to hear their screams of pain before they die.

I have a question; how do we call someone back? Like how am I supposed to know what number to call?

@KRT - it's not glitch, it's an old copy-protection. The game has booklet with some pager codes (ie.ICU 1,2,3,4) - you need read the nurse message (Dr is waiting to you on Morgue 2 or sth similar), check the codes for "Morgue 2" and respond (write the code on the telephone). The codes can be found on the internet

Every time I make the first incision, it glitches, then the OR is empty, and I get sent to the classroom with some bit about responding to pages. Anyone else?

Hi,
I'm trying L&D for the first time, running it in my browser. How do I save my game before exiting it? Is there any shortcut, I have to do something in the game, or anything?
Thanks in advance!
