Bugs

 * The dialog option to recruit her may not even be available when you meet her.
 * When asked to work for you, she may not show up where you send her. When in the settlement she was sent to, selecting her through the console, then using the commands "disable", "enable", then "moveto player" may fix this issue. The same may be true for Smiling Larry.
 * You can type 'prid 00190047' then enter to select her. Then use the moveto player and enable commands to fix.
 * For some reason she can just go away from the settlement and nothing can stop her when using moveto and enable commands. If this happens, try to wait a day after asking to join the settlement. Then use 'player.moveto 00190047' command. It should teleport you to the place where you had met her, but there will be only another encounter. After dealing with enemies(if any) use 'prid 00190047' and 'enable' commands. She will appear and travel by herself to the assigned place after some time(usual for other npcs). It seems that she becomes disabled when she should start her journey to the settlement.
 * Another workaround is the same as you can do with Ron Staples. If you meet her and she doesn't leave the cabin close to Drumlin Diner, disable her, fast travel (FAR!) away, get back to Drumlin diner and the cabin, enable her. watch out though, as if there's a random encounter like wild mongrels, synths, raiders, or super mutants, she's likely to die fast. What follows is something I would not call "AI" ... it really makes no sense, but she travels off heading for Corvega facility, passing the destroyed house where the roachking might lie in wait, turns to Jalbert brothers and proceeds to Graygarden. She then wanders further between arcjet and rocky narrows (gunner-zone), leaves Gorski's to her right and possibly messes with the two raiders at the hut overlooking Walden's Pond and eventually arrives at Abernathy's farm. Long story cut short, that's most likely the most ridiculous way to red-rocket/sanctuary, when drumlin's->concord->red-rocket is only one stone's throw away. ADDITION: the doc disappeared from Sanctuary within a week, no clue where to. -Confirmed; Doc disappeared from The Castle slightly more than a week after she was assigned there. Console commands "prid 00190047", "enable", then "moveto player" fixed the problem.
 * When summoning her to the settlement with the "moveto player" console command when she failed to show up after being recruited, she could be assigned to the surgery center, but would walk off and disappear, even after using the fixes suggested above. Attempting to summon her back with "moveto player" did nothing (she failed to appear near my character). However, using "prid 00190047" then "disable" and "enable", then finally summoning her with "moveto player" caused her to appear again, work correctly, and stay in the settlement for good afterward. It would seem that before any fixes work on her permanently, she first has to "get lost", be disabled, enabled, then summoned to your settlement and assigned.
 * It seems she likes to travel back to the place in which she was initially recruited and stay there instead of at your settlement. The trick is to force her to respawn somewhere else. This worked: ask her to work for you; send her to the settlement; disable her; leave the area she spawned in and then go back to that area and repeat this until a DIFFERENT random encounter occurs, such as wild mongrels or synths; and once a different random encounter as occurred in that same area and you've addressed it, enable her. She should respawn in your settlement.
