>>>>>[I'm looking for recommendations for a medical professional. My
previous one is getting out of the business of taking our "kind of
people."

I don't want some narrow specialist in cybernetic trans/implant
surgery, I need a generalist you'd feel comfortable going to in any
situation: bullet holes to a bad case of the flu.

Most of all, I need someone you'd be willing to trust with you life and
who would be more than willing to keep their mouth shut. I'm not going to
trust my skin to any random street-clinic.

Familiarity with metahumans is a plus.

>>>>>[For that kind of money, about all I can tell you is that if it is
the person I think it is, a guy that goes by the name Action Jackson, you
probably can't afford his prices. Word is his interests hardly stop at
the medical, including weapons, fixing, and other such sundries. 'Course
I also heard rumors from him being dead, to out of the biz, and everything
in between. And those aren't the weirdest things I heard, not by a _long_
shot. @_@

My advice: look somewhere else. If you need a doc, hey, I bet I could
dig something up for you.]<<<<<

not strike me as one who often needs the services of a doctor, especially
in an emergency. Therefore, if you do not mind, I think I will wait a
little while longer and accept free advice from people who should know, as
opposed to paying you for secondhand information.]<<<<<

>>>>>[It works like this, AJ has rules. Obey the rules and your fine, try
and break them and your meat. One of the main rules is don't bring your
trouble with you. He also likes his privacy. If you want someone to see
for every little ache, the AJ is _not_ your man. If its something your
local walk-in free clinic could handle, then don't bother him. If you
want a professional to see when your ass is on the line, or you need a new
implant, then AJ is one of the best. If your still interested, leave a
message at <encrypted> and if you pass checks, you'll receive a message on
how to contact him for treatment.]<<<<<

>>>>>[I think I will pass on this AJ person, then.

As I stated originally, I was looking for someone who I could trust with
"every little ache." Free clinics lack the safety, skill, and, far more
importantly, the security, privacy, and discretion that I require. I
also do not appreciate someone who considers an infraction of his
"rules" worthy of an attempt to make me "meat." If I hire the
services
of a doctor, they work for me, not the other way around. That he would
not deign to be "bothered" for anything less than the gravest
emergencies, leads me to believe he isn't the kind of person I would
hire. Thank you for the referral, anyway.]<<<<<
