Push the Patient Run Checklist

Why use a checklist

Push the Patient looks silly until your twentieth restart on the same drawer. Most failed evenings are not “skill issues” alone — they are setup issues: wrong roles, muted friend, graphics that hide edges, no warm-up, and no notes for next time. This page is a session tool, not a lore dump. Print it mentally before you queue, whether you solo or grab a partner for duo bed chaos.

If you are brand new, skim Getting Started first, then return here. Duo players should also open duo mode and controls once so everyone agrees what “brake” and “steer” mean on their device.

1) Friend ready?

Solo is valid. Duo is the fantasy Myriagone markets hard — one pushes and brakes, one lies in the bed and steers, swap anytime. Before you rely on a partner:

• Same time zone honesty: pick a real start and a hard stop (45–90 minutes is plenty).
• Voice or clear text: voice is faster for “HOLD”; text-only pairs need shorter callouts.
• Both on stable connections: one rubber-banding player makes every gurney look haunted.
• Both know the goal: full clear, one stubborn room, or warm-up only — say it out loud.
• Backup plan: if the friend DC’s, agree whether you continue solo or pause.

If nobody is available, still run the rest of this checklist. Solo practice with good settings beats duo practice with chaos.

2) Roles decided

Do not discover roles on the first lethal drop.

Default duo split

Role	Owns	Does not own
Pusher	Throttle, brake, “go / hold”	Lane philosophy arguments mid-air
Steer (patient)	Aim, early hazard calls, “stop spin”	Secret full-speed overrides

Rules that prevent drama:

1. One driver of speed — the pusher.
2. One driver of lane — the steer, unless the pusher calls a panic hold.
3. Reset word — a single phrase that ends debate and restarts the attempt.
4. Swap schedule — after every clear, or after three fails, so tilt does not trap one role.

Read duo mode for deeper etiquette, then come back and actually assign names to roles in chat before the bed moves.

3) Settings and controls check

Two minutes here saves twenty later.

• Confirm device binds using controls — keyboard, touch, and gamepad all feel different on brake timing.
• Camera sensitivity: high enough to peek around toys/drawers, low enough not to whip into nausea.
• Graphics: if dark morgue halls crush depth, raise brightness or lower heavy effects that hide edges.
• Volume: hear teammate callouts over lobby noise; mute unrelated experiences.
• Fullscreen / performance: lock a stable frame rate before hard segments.
• Party privacy: private or friends-only if random joiners distract your practice.

Solo checklist add-on: decide whether you will use any accessibility helpers you personally rely on, and keep that choice consistent for the whole session so muscle memory sticks.

4) Practice plan (before the “real” run)

A plan turns Push the Patient from random comedy into deliberate reps.

Suggested 40-minute block

1. 5 min — locomotion warm-up on an easy early segment (two clean finishes).
2. 10 min — target hazard (nursery toys, morgue drawers, or whatever you came for).
3. 10 min — link practice from the hazard into the next safe platform.
4. 10 min — full attempts at your session goal.
5. 5 min — cool-down notes (section below).

Pick one primary goal:

• Learn a new Morgue Update obstacle.
• Revisit Nursery Update toy lines.
• Push a stubborn room listed under hard levels.
• Follow the ordered walkthrough without skipping.
• Claim anything new on codes, then ignore codes for the rest of the night.

Write the goal in party chat. If you complete it early, stop or set a second micro-goal — do not invent a third rage objective at minute 55.

5) In-run discipline

While the bed is moving:

• Brake earlier than ego allows, especially into drawers and cold-room doors.
• No boost on recovery frames after a bump.
• Call hazards early (“drawer left in 3”) instead of during the collision.
• Honor the reset word immediately — arguing mid-air teaches nothing.
• Limit “one more try” to a number you chose in the plan (for example, five).

If communication collapses, mute the joke channel for one serious attempt. Comedy returns after a clear.

6) After-run notes

Spend two minutes before you leave Roblox. Future-you will thank present-you.

Capture:

• Best progress (how far, which landmark).
• Killer obstacle (name it specifically: “second gurney,” not “morgue”).
• Cause tag: speed / angle / camera / callout / disconnect.
• Role note: who should start as pusher next time.
• Settings change: anything you want to tweak tomorrow.
• Mood: if both players are tilted, schedule a shorter next session.

Optional: paste the note into a shared doc or just a Discord message. Consistency beats perfect formatting.

Solo-only abbreviated list

1. Controls confirmed.
2. Brightness/camera OK for the wing you will play.
3. One hazard goal chosen.
4. Two warm-up clears.
5. Five focused attempts max on the wall segment.
6. One sentence note written.

Duo-only abbreviated list

1. Friend online, voice tested.
2. Roles named in chat.
3. Reset word agreed.
4. Swap rule agreed.
5. Session goal + time box set.
6. After-run note shared.

Bottom line

A good Push the Patient session is boring in the best way: roles clear, settings stable, warm-up done, goal named, notes captured. Use this checklist every time you queue with a friend — or alone when you are hunting one nasty room — and you will spend more minutes pushing the patient and fewer minutes pushing each other’s patience.
