Backstreet Doctor

i feel like currently if the backstreet doctor is still available no one will use it due to the price and the fact you could die fully. The only reason i ask for this is if you rob a bank or end up in a gunfight with cops they end up staying close to medics or medics have to arrive on scene then let the cops know. It makes it so hard to get friends up and you spend like 30 mins each time trying to get a medic who is nowhere near the cops. I feel like there should be an alternative from the medic that costs like 5k maybe and revives you if you take your friend to the locations. This cuts out all the time trying to drive around looking for medics

 
its almost like theres a way to text the medics so they can come to you

i dont see why it needs changing from original suggestion. maybe if people didnt always threaten medics police wouldnt baby sit them.

It removes all incetive for a medic if people can pay

The incentive of calling a medic is you dont have to pay? Who wants to pay 5k but criminals who dont have the choice to go to a medic because its too hot with cops being around. I feel like you didnt really read what i said @Chilli. Medics have in the past used gps blips to call out to police where downed crims are or take forever and stall so police can get to them. Majority of people would still go to medics with this in place its just the people that are in hot situations with police would use the backstreet doctor

 
This is something we were discussing earlier within the dev team aswell. I also feel it is basically never used. Probably needs tweaking either lowering the price increasing the chance of succes or both.

I still really like the concept and wanna keep it in. But it currently isn't being used.

It isn't used because of one of two reasons;

- People don't know where it is.
- People don't want to risk full on dying. 

Price needs to be excessive for 100% guarantee. That way there's a con to get revived without roleplay/risk. 

I'd suggest having two doctors. 

Doctor 1:

The amateur of the two doctors, has a chance to really fuck you up and kill you when providing medical attention. This option is cheap and risky. 

Doctor 2:

The professional of the two doctors. Has 100% effectiveness, knows what he's doing. Not an idiot. This option is very expensive. 

 

 
@Fluqi
In your suggestion: Would you have them at different locations, like seperate from each other, or would they be like colleagues in the same underground clinic?

Entirely up to you. Would make sense to be a different place maybe? but that could then fall under the whole "People not knowing where it is" category 

 
Allright I think Fluqi's suggestions makes sense.

Jafffa, I get your point think what you are proposing is a bit extreme. There are enough people on the server that can and would easily pay that 5k. I don't want to disencourage people from seeking help from the NHS unless they have valid roleplay reasons for it. And if they do it should be pricey (but more successfull) or cheap and prone to fail.

i'll leave the suggestion open for votes for a bit and we'll see what everyone else thinks.

Moving to rejected, however I have raised the success rate and lowered the price to match current economy.
