So over on bullshido.net someone wrote a story about being a DEADLY SHAOLIN EMT in Canada and how he would get into fights with junkies and the like. I thought that it really resembled possible events in a DocWagon campaign for Shadowrun 3rd edition.

Wow. In real life that stuff's frightening, but in Shadowrun it makes for a good night out.

This is what all ambulance drivers should be like. None of that "stay out of the hot zone until the suspects are secured", just get in there BJJ their asses.
They should make a television show about these guys. |

Nah, see, the way to make it Shadowrun is to remove the bit about the guy faking and the other people jumping the EMTs. See, the EMTs walk in, and they see everyone's wearing a DocWagon tag, but none of them have the bracelets that indicate real high-end service. So what do they do? Well, five emergency patients gives you five times the fees one call does, and they're just junkies anyway…

Brilliant! Now we can combine the archetypical "Immoral" campaign with the previously goodie-two-shoes(-ish) DocWagon campaign. "What do you mean his transponder didn't go off until we arrived on scene... it was going off when we got there, should have heard the racket." "Sir, we just instituted new silent transponders, they only register here at base." "...Uh... old model bracelet?" |

Just take a plane ride down to Rio. Edit: Aha! I knew that we'd had a previous thread about that story. :) |

Doc Wagon has no such compunctions about throwing grenades. Though I expect they bill the victim for them...

Maybe California is just chiller than Canada, but I've never been in a position as an EMT where I couldn't talk people down. Also, I've always had sherrifs on scene every time I was in a residence or facility with a patient who had a recent history of violent behavior.
Makes for lousy stories actually. -Frank |
