Don’t leave home without it! DocWagon offers first-class medical care
on a 24-hour house (or street) call basis. Four contract services are
available: basic, gold, platinum, and super-platinum. A DocWagon
contract requires the filing of tissue samples (held in a secure vault
staffed by bonded guards and mages) and comes with a biomonitor
RFID tag implant or wristband (basic service) that can be activat-
ed to call for help and then to serve as a homing beacon for roving
DocWagon ambulances and choppers. Rupture of the band will also
alert a DocWagon representative.
Once a call from a contract-holder is confirmed, most DocWagon
franchises guarantee arrival of an armed trauma team in less than ten
minutes, or else the immediate medical care is free. Resuscitation ser-
vice carries a high premium (5,000¥), as does High Threat Response
(HTR) service (base 5,000¥). In the latter case, the client (or her heir)
is expected to pay medical bills up to and including death compensa-
tion (20,000¥) for DocWagon employees.
Gold service includes one free resuscitation per year, a 50 percent
reduction on HTR service charges, and a 10 percent discount on ex-
tended care. Platinum service includes four free resuscitations per year
and a 50 percent discount on extended care. There is no charge for
HTR services, but employee death compensation still applies. Super-
Platinum subscribers are entitled to five free resuscitations a year and
do not have to pay for HTR services or death compensation.
DocWagon will not respond to calls on extraterritorial government
or corporate property without permission from the controlling authority
10 minutes or less? What good is 10 minutes to someone with a sucking wound to the chest?
Unless you've been stabilized, if you ever drop into overflow, you're dead in seconds.
So, as it stands, Doc Wagon is only good if you get shot into unconsciousness and left for dead, and only then, if you're not in an extra-territorial property. That covers basically 0% of the Shadowrun scenarios out there. So, let's see if we can't twerk this a little to make it more than just a money-suck for naive shadowrunners.
Doc Wagon Basic - 5,000¥/year - In addition to the services above, every Doc Wagon contract counts as the equivalent of a Street Doc contact. With a basic account, Doc Wagon will install any augmentation besides restricted or forbidden items for the regular street price. In addition to the Doc Wagon bracelet having a biomonitor and RFID chip, it also comes with an autoinjector with one free dose of whatever's in a trauma patch. So, if the biomonitor should notice the runner go into overflow, the autoinjector will automatically apply the trauma patch allowing for a stabilization roll of Body x2.
Doc Wagon Gold - 25,000¥/year - In addition to the services above, with a gold account, Doc Wagon will install restricted augmentations for the regular street price if provided with even the flimsiest forged license. Furthermore the Doc Wagon bracelet's autoinjector will be filled with a dose of Guts and R1 Oxyrush nanites to help protect the user should the biomonitor register that the user is dying of oxygen deprivation or overcome by fear. Each of the doses of Guts, Oxyrush and Trauma can be refilled free of charge, once per year. As an added bonus, any gold member with a medkit on hand and a solid signal can, for a very reasonable fee, have a Doc Wagon medic remotely operate it for immediate First Aid (DP 12-14(+kit rating - penalties)) without need for a medical team on site.
Doc Wagon Platinum - 50,000/year - In addition to the services above, with a platinum account, Doc Wagon will cut their augmentation fees by 10% and offer access to betaware-capable facilities. The wristband can be replaced with an externally-housed nano-biomonitor system where a small quantity of nanites are introduced to the body through tiny pins in the band. The autoinjector will now also contain a secondary stabilization option in the form of a R6 Trauma Control System nanites. The TCS nanites must be restocked for a fee if used, but all of the other injector options can be replaced, each month, free of charge at any Doc Wagon facility, provided Doc Wagon has record of their necessary use. Finally, First Aid services will come at a discounted price.
Doc Wagon Super-Platinum - 100,000/year - Well, hello fancy-pants. In addition to the services above, augmentation policies are loosened up to a don't ask don't tell sort of situation. Meaning that forbidden augmentations are fair game. This level of membership allows access to the deltaware-capable clinic in Tokyo. The 10% discount still applies. All of the bio-monitor/autoinjector options are available with free refills, though, naturally, obvious abuse of the free refill policy will not be tolerated. Additionally, the remote medical operation for First Aid can be utilized free of charge, day or night, and the policy holder will always get the best medic available (DP 18 +-).
