Dang it Jim, I'm a Doctor!

[Gth 18]

Oh the woes of trying to make out as a doctor in this game.  Carry no weapons (cept a small knife for killing the occasional zombie if I have to) and constantly walk around with my trusty first aid kit in my hands and my bright orange Kenny parka so people can more clearly understand I'm just a simple country doctor and bang, zoom, they still shoot me in the face like I was thrusting an M4 into their visages. -.-

 

But alas, now I've finally made it off the coast with a good assortment of medical supplies to go help those in need.  Only took me one suicide and 4 murders to get there, but hey, what can you do right?

 

 

Incidentally, what all can you do medical wise now?  I know you can disinfect your rags/bandages to help you or your patient not get sick.  I know vitamins and antibios help to that end as well.  I get what saline does.  I'm not liking that it seems that blood bags are now a vampire-like system.  I've got the trusty morphine and epi pens.  Is there anything else to it that anyone's discovered?

I feel you on the whole only trying to help and still getting killed to be looted. Would make me laugh if the guy who shot you would have needed a blood transfusion though. 

I haven't myself researched all that can be done so far but I really like the greater realism of what can be done so far.

But thats a good idea for cloths. Have medic/doctor attire.

you need to get blood testing kits, people can only get transfusions from others with the same blood type. except O+ it is a universal donor

That could also be a good kill system, if you find a doucher of a player say a bandit, handcuff him and give him some blood.  he is now a walking dead man as the fluid that keeps him alive now slowly kills him

That's twisted. I like it.
