Between fast cars, big guns, powerful drugs, and the steep decline in the value of life, society has no shortage of casualties. Doctors will always be in heavy demand, their skills and tools allowing them to make the difference between life and death for their patients. They are often respected for saving the lives of family members, or blamed and despised for their perceived failures.
Modern medicine has advanced to the point of completely restructuring a person’s face and body, replacing limbs and organs with vat grown tissue, enhancing individuals past their natural limits with cybernetics, and more. Of course, a person’s access to healthcare may depend heavily on their financial situation. The same limits apply to medical professionals, who hold positions that range from underfunded community clinic nurses to the personal physicians of corporate senior executives. A doctor can rise as high as their ambitions, skill, and ruthlessness allow.
