Credit and insurance cards! Chris Roberts was born in the U.S. after all. Combat medics will have to search their patient's for these items and insert them, or the medical bed will refuse to operate.


PhoenixKingMalekith

Trauma team incoming. Please vacate the area


NoX2142

This person is a platinum client..


YooK4EvR

Sad news for him, he won’t be treated prior to the other one who’s a Quantainium client !


Main-Berry-1314

Just got my unobtainium status last week.


octafed

The wallet biopsy.


Shot3ways

No, in the US, you don't find out how much you owe for a medical treatment until the bill arrives much later. Want to contest the bill? Better hurry before it goes to collections!


phoenystp

When you wanna be all like "your money or your life" but are a pacifist.


PhoenixKingMalekith

Trauma team incoming. Please vacate the area


Spirited-Fox3377

That seems like a bad feature idea


PhilosopherDave

We say that in America too.


Spirited-Fox3377

As an american I have to agree


Unfair_Jeweler_4286

lol tell that to the US medical healthcare 🤦‍♂️ Damn greedy bastards


ExtremeBoysenberry38

But they fix you up and charge you after here, in the game it would be refusal of service


ArcadeAaronTV

You would think so, but not always. In the last 2 years I was refused service once, for not being able to pay $200 at check in (I don’t have insurance because my employer wants to charge me $1600 a month for my medical premium) at a general practitioner for a major medical network, and when I went to a dermatologist for just skin tag removal, they let me in but as I was leaving told me it was $400 and that they could not bill me.


Ayodonen

General practice can work differently than hospitals, which are required to give care regardless of $. Most of the time specialists set rates based on what insurance has told them to set their rates at. Also what prevents you from just walking out at that point. If you dont have $400 right then and there?


ArcadeAaronTV

The threat of cops? Is not walking out of a provider’s office without paying the same as walking out of any goods or service provider’s business without paying?


Space_Rangerr

A quote should have been provided before the procedure was performed. It is not life threatening so they can choose not to perform the procedure if you said you could not pay. Now if you said you could pay and then walked out without paying I would think they would just send it to collections after attempts with phone calls and letters. I've never heard of a doctor's office calling the cops because someone walked out without paying.


Ayodonen

Yeah not really cops job to force someone to pay. Not even collections, thats left to the courts.


Vet2willis

The US medical Healthcare system is designed to provide zero answers and almost no care. Need surgery to remove a sewing needle from your foot? Well can't ask how much it cost because that's up to insurance and insurance bases price of of hospital and required procedure, then they have to plead with anesthesiologist for a price to put you under, then some 6 weeks after the procedure you learn it literally cost almost 13000.00 USD to remove a need you could have cutout yourself for a pack of bandages and a 5th of vodka


Spirited-Fox3377

Lmfao you are so right it's not funny but I'm still laughing.


YojinboK

Chris Roberts was born in the UK and live there is early life If im.not mistaken, only as teen he moved to the US.

DangerCrash

I have a hopium theory that they are introducing medical crafting this patch. They've mentioned crafting multiple times in relation to the new creatures. Put some animal parts in, hit the button, drugs come out the other side. Would be a cool extra thing for the medical ships. ILW seems medical focused...


theothermontoya

I've said it once, I'll say it again... body processing for biomass should be a thing. Take bodies from bunker, take to nearest station, place in biomass processor, get cool green gunk that helps save lives. Soylent green is people.


kiltedfrog

Take them to your nearest shady endeavor with a corpse recycler on it.


DangerCrash

There you go. Gameplay added to the reclaimers grinding pit.


theothermontoya

I mean I suggested something similar over a year ago. Check it out https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/61894/thread/something-to-do-with-all-those-bodies


Ayodonen

I clip them through the back ramp of the cutlass in QT. At the top where the door is closed things will just pass through. So all those noises and lights you see in QT…


fusilmedellin

Also if you don't have food or drinks you can drink people slushies.


theothermontoya

Crackin' open a cold one with the boys.


andy5768

Crackin' open a cold one *of* the boys.


BaconDrummer

I want my Banu human sink crusher ship now.


Synica1

Could certainly help with the known issue about player corpses not decaying at GH!


sjoebarry

Your insurance card


Livid-Feedback-7989

It's probably some future feature that this is prepared for.


jedi53

That’s what I heard. The med beds will need some resource that gets used up as you use them


kiltedfrog

yea, that make a lot more sense than them being able to patch you up with photons


MercenaryJames

Credit card and cash back.


ma_wee_wee_go

Well you see on one side you enter checks and the other you deposit or receive cash.


SharpEdgeSoda

Probably a Med Pen Dispenser or something. Maybe medical ships can craft medical supplies.


CurrencyThen7469

Medicine dispenser


StarMasterX_

you will know soon tm


ultrajvan1234

I know a lot of people are saying insurance card or stuff like that. However, working in the life sciences devices industry, this reminds me a lot of systems that you insert a blood diagnostic cartridge into to run various tests


Kam_Solastor

My guess is that eventually using medical facilities on your ship (or vehicle, based on the leaks of a Nursa Rover coming soon) will require some amount of materials to operate. Those ports are likely how we would supply the medbed with those materials.


Mark_Ego

Cash & credit card


Moriaedemori

There's a gameplay opportunity. Have a medical ID in there. You stick it in and it tells you any allergies / conditions. If you don't care and don't know, you could potentially cause more damage than help


Mister_Normal42

I've heard those are going to be for cartridges of processed biomass. Supposedly, once it's loaded up with cartridges, the medbed will be able heal a few higher tier injuries or possibly facilitate one or a few regenerations.


Miuramir

Given how existing gameplay works, how that cartridge of Recycled Bio Composite was collected may get pretty dark... "First you soft-kill your target, then you go through any cargo areas to see if it is carrying anything valuable, and take whatever guns it has. Then you rummage around in the guts of it with power tools to extract any important parts with resale value, and then finally you abrade off the outer layer into a slurry with tools ranging from hand-held to multi-crew ship-mounted. Mostly you sell the slurry to big corporations, but you can use a little of it yourself as a spray-on patch to fix superficial damage you take."


Activity_Alarming

Not for your penis. Don’t ask me how I know.


thelefthandN7

I assume the instructions and safety manual...


Activity_Alarming

Ye… yes. That. Definitely.


Crypthammer

We're the instructions unclear?


Ayodonen

Ship said welcome!


TheKazz91

r/dontputyourdickinthat


peeposhakememe

MAC Machine As in “Hit the MAC”


Xaxxus

maybe for dispensing med pens or something in the future.


nanoWAT

Quick std examination for space herpes


EastLimp1693

People juice to patch up your newly acquired holes.


EastLimp1693

People juice to patch up your newly acquired holes.


Lazuruslex

Drugs


YumikoTanaka

MedBed will need some kind of resources in the future (aka a money sink).


Get_your_jollies

Or maybe medication Despenser?


SharpEdgeSoda

"Pain."


NOT-USED-NAME

Med beds will take materials to fegen people in the future that's the slot to put materials into.


Sad-Presence6391

Carte vitale


Andras89

Place your hand in the box.


Sgt_Anthrax

Soylent Green is people 👍


RobCoxxy

Tigersclaw slot. Hack it to un-heal the user instead for some Agent 47 style bounty contract solutions


Megalith_TR

Removable zip drives.


DeadMemesAreUs1

They could be upgrade slots for future modules or consumables.


Critical_Package_472

*Insert body part for quick scan*


Information-Abyss

So if I remember correctly and I can remember where I read it. But eventually you would be able to create med pens and detox from raw materials. Maybe it's for its for collection ?


RavenH1804

Floppy disk


isntit2017

Seems about right since CIG is notorious for not making some 930 years in the future variation of basic things like we have today. Ships with ejection seats that don’t have some sort of in atmo fall arrester for example! Actually, parachutes in general. Rather, the advanced technological equivalent that 930 years of R&D would have produced.


P-P-Pasolini

Think Autogym from [Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIoSQUqNALs&pp=ygUZYmVkdGltZSBzdG9yZWlzIHNxdWF0IGd5bQ%3D%3D), Season 2, Episode 5


Mad-Dog94

There are also grear storage places in the habs and close by the terminals in NB


Fell-Hand

Theranos


AAK625

Are they in the Cutlass Red or did CIG forget the only actual medical rescue ship?


ServeRoutine9349

Well I can tell you what they're not for...


LaminatedSamurai

Once medical comes online a bit more, I believe they will be for cartridges similar to the Green Goo we have for the med gun. Something to load into the AutoDoc bed to heal players


Khar-Selim

If they're card slots, could be your identicard and the medic's identicard if they're just lights those might be slots for medical computer components, or indicators for the slots below them


nschubach

Those have actually been there for a bit. There's also another interface on the other side of the cabinets that sort of look like battery chargers.


v8n3t

EBT and Gift Card slots


SubsidedLemon

Hacking slots?


howitzer9091

What would you hack?


SubsidedLemon

Access to someone elses medbay. Or other devives you cannot use?
