DOC MARTINI’S
 Trevor
Brinks was a well respected surgeon in Night City
once, until he showed up for an operation drunk, and
the patient died on the table. Disgraced, his
medical license revoked, he found himself homeless,
and friendless. Now he is just another ripperdoc
in the Zone, and one of the more unscrupulous
ones. He is a raging alcoholic, and is almost
never sober. It is for this reason he is known
as Doc Martini. Doc
Martini himself is usually disheveled, and the later
it gets, the more likely he will be drunk. Of
course you don’t want to hit him too early, as his
hands shake before he gets enough alcohol in him to
even out. He sometimes hires on help, if only to
run his errands for him and keep the operating room
clean.
 The
building
itself is very small, once a small 2 story fourplex,
Brinks has knocked down walls and built interior
stairs. The only way in is through the stairs in
front or
back. These stairs are metal, and can be
electrified at the flick of a switch. The
upstairs is the waiting room, office, and living area,
both of which are filthy and strewn with trash.
 The
downstairs
area contains an exam room, an operating room, a drug
closet, a cyber storage room, and 2 recovery rooms,
each equipped with a heavy steel door that can only be
opened from the outside. Doc Martini has had
people go Cyberpsycho on him before, and no takes
measures against it. The rooms sterility varies, and
depends greatly on whether he is currently employing
anyone or not. If he is living alone, the risk
of infection is high.
Doc
Martini is without scruples or ethics. He will
perform just about any medical procedure he is capable
of if the price is right, and he may try it even if
its over his head if the price is right enough.
He also buys used Cyber, and has been known to work
for trade of high quality (or at least high alcohol
content) liquor or medical supplies in addition to
cash.
