Come on, the guys a decker!
you can still 'run from your hospital bed...
Just wire your deck up to the hospital phonenet, or use a
chickenwire microwave dish datalink out of the window.
then run either in the net as normal, staying in the public
sectors so you have no ICE hassle, or wire up a cheap remote
deck to a phone and start rigging!
(sure, you have no skill and no reactions, but you can still
drive around a little bulldog patroller with a
speaker/mic/camera system, maybe ever put a screen on and put a
picture of your face on it, texture mapped to your icon so it
can 'talk' to peaple.)
and its fun to drive around

You can now play 'Guardian Angel' to your players. As your body
is F*kd, stay in the net and monitor everything nearby. Watch
radio signals, listen in on the cops, hire time on shop cameras
and watch over them.
remember to get
1 Good hospital security
2 IV feed and a Catheter

why not make the injury part of the fun?

If cops and corps are after you, DON'T STAY IN HOSPITAL!
the cops check accident/emergency for suspicious wounds
the Corps may OWN the place.
(go to one owned by an enemy corp if you have to get medical aid.
then get out before they take notice of you.
maybe they'll hire you, maybe give you to the corp chasing you
as a 'goodwill gesture')

So have your friends get you out and go on the run!
the breakout can be fun, with Nurses to hide behind, beds to
jump over, delicate medical instruments to break, swing doors to
crash through on a trolley.
Maybe you can dress up as doctors to 'blend in'
You can smuggle you decker friend out in a wheelchair, or on a
trolley. Its important to
1:give him a shotgun to hide under the sheets
2:push them through doors/ down ramps
3: rush guards by jumping onto a gurney and rolling toward them
firing all available guns

Don't forget to steal an Ambulance!

And once your out, you have to find a safe place to hide, a
medic who doesn't ask questions, medical supplys, the lot

CHOPPER
treat it all as a CHALLENGE, not an incovinience!
