“
What do I do here? You're in a hospital. I'm wearing a doctor's coat. I'm covered with blood. There are sharp, pointy things lying all around. Either I'm a successful killer or a fair doctor. Take your pick.
”— Doc Holliday
Doc Holliday is the doctor for Broken Hills in 2241.
[edit] Background
A Broken Hills native born around 2170, Holliday spent his teens wandering the wasteland. During his travels he met his wife, but became a widower when she died of sickness. He traveled to San Francisco and studied under the Chinese doctor there, Dr Fung, who taught him everything he knows about medicine on top of some wisdom.
He returned to Broken Hills years later, just in time to witness Marcus build the town up from the shanties Holliday grew up in. In appearance, he's a wizened old man, usually working in a slightly bloody doctor's coat. He radiates an air of knowledge, but seems slightly sickly; a trait not uncommon among old, yet spirited people.

[edit] Medical services
- Healing crippled limbs and hit points: $50 - $300
[edit] Effects of player's action
- Talking to Doc Holliday and listening to the story of his life will earn free healing from him (for you and your party) and also yield the fact that he knows Dr Fung in San Francisco; allowing you to have Dr Fung put Chip's spleen back in for free.
- You can also get free healing if you ask what he does and banter a little, but you can only do that once, whereas you can get him to talk about his life over and over again. If for some reason you pay for healing he'll charge between $50 and $300 for each person in your party.
- He sells Stimpaks and other items, and takes only half the price if you ask him to trade instead of hitting the barter button.
