Medical Unit

“These Things We Do So That Others May Live.”
For every war waged, there have been those that walked among the wounded and dying, risking their own well-being in order to offer a small chance of life to those that teetered on the edge. Combat medics have historically been doctors, trauma responders, and first responders that are capable of prolonging life in the heat of battle. While not originally a separate group of the original Responders, the presence of trained medical professionals greatly increased the survival odds as well as support research into necessary vaccines and medication for the new world.

Current Day
Medics of the New Responders are expected to have an advanced level of medical knowledge and immediate trauma care. Additionally, medics are expected to actively pursue the study and practice of crafting all chems and stims. The new world requires new strategies and it is imperative that medics have a balanced approach in how they diagnose, treat, and assist others. Each medic carries a basic kit of supplies to provide support both the New Responders and the community at large. In addition to all of this, medics are expected to be combat-ready--willing to actively go into hot zones with their weapons drawn.

The Medical Unit is currently led by Field Commander Korinne Anders, a former trauma surgeon from Vault 76. Operating out of a reconstructed portion of AVR and a newly implemented facility in Morgantown, the Medical Unit actively works to re-establish a system of care and health in Appalachia. Advances in technology permit medics more versatility than before, and many of the techniques and devices used by the Medical Unit are proven inventions developed by the men and women of the unit.
