“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 a resident of Broken Hills Downtown in 2241.
Background

Other interactions
- Talking to Doc Holliday and listening to the story of his life will earn free healing from him (for the Chosen One and the party) and also yield the fact that he knows Dr. Fung in San Francisco; this allows the Chosen One to have Dr. Fung put Chip's spleen back in for free.
- It is also possible to get free healing if he is asked what he does and allowed to banter a little, but it can only be done once, whereas he can be asked to talk about his life over and over again. If he is paid for healing, he will charge between $50 and $300 for each person in the party.
- He sells stimpaks and other items, and takes only half the price if asked to trade instead of hitting the barter button.
- When talked to by a low Intelligence character, he will pretend to examine them, but instead steal half of their money, or $100, whichever is less. No other interaction is possible.
