Would anyone be interested in a sourcebook that focused on all things medical?
[EDIT] I will create a table of contents mock up here to organize the ideas. Please contribute ideas by posting. As more ideas come in, I will add them as best as I can. The idea is to see if we can get enough possible subject areas to make a justifyable sourcebook. Writing the actual content is of course the hard part. This is just for fun so don't expect anything to come of this. Table of Contents 1. Medical Services A chapter that goes deep into DocWagon, hospital corporations, more in depth hospital technology, cloning information with controversal arguments on cloning percedures via disposable lab-grown hosts, and common patient admittance procedures in the sixth world. 2. Clinics If you are going to be SOTA, you better deny it. Get your new body here without the illegal side effects. Expanded information on Beta and Delta clinics. How the corporations keep them secure and out of the public eye. Information on Lone Star, Knight Errant, and military clinics. 3. It's O.K. to Cry Effects of cyberware and bioware on mental health. Phycological conditions and social interaction. Drug abuse. Mental hospitals. Interrogation medicine and techniques. 4. Give me my liver back! An in depth look into the organ side of organised crime, the organ black market. Organlegger (and cyberware-legger) rings, UCAS prisoner organ harvesting, and smuggler hosts. 5. Biological Threats Symptoms of modern diseases and biowarfare, how biowarfare is developed and tested (and who is developing and testing them), and where and how the outbreaks and plagues are being dealt with. How biowarfare is used in Desert Wars and military operations. Military use of medics and surgeons, military hospitals, military medical equipment and vehicles. Uses and interests of biological weapons by eco-terrorists. 6. Paranormal Nuisances Information on vampire and zombie populations, the societies that they create, and how the medical community deals with them. -- Unassigned subjects. Suggestions are welcomed. New ideas will be added here first. -- * The use of magic in the medical world behind the scenes. * Forensic medicine -- Equipment list. This would be a list of items that would be appropiately introduced in this sourcebook. If you can think of an item, don't be shy and post it! -- * DNA Blood Analyzer. Simular to a biomonitor, this tool requires a drop of blood to be placed onto a small metallic plate located on the surface of the interface. A small screen displays blood type, cell count, sugar levels, and chemical contents of the blood. Along with this information, a DNA model is constructed and compiled into a 1 mp file and stored in it's local memory (50 mp). An electronics port allows the device to be connected to a computer, phone, radio, or simular device to allow for data transmissions. The analyzer is often standard equipment with DocWagon teams which send the DNA data via radio to the company databases to id persons and verify contracts. Police find this tool indispensable in aiding forensic investigations. * Biofeedback Machine. A generic term for a device spacifically designed to deliver electronic biofeedback to a person. The military uses biofeedback machines for interrogations. All prisoners get datajacks installed with biostoppers in maximum security facilities to keep them under control. Electric chairs have long been replaced by biofeedback chairs for executions. |
