Isn't this Trauma Team from Cyberpunk?

[–] db2@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Samsung likely used "AI" for this so probably is.

I wonder if TraumaTeam and DocWagon are copy written.

I was just playing the old genesis Shadowrun (an old favorite of mine) and had a dark laugh at how the DocWagon you get, where they pull you out of wherever, treat you, and drop you off outside the hospital has a maximum fee of 5000. The default is just 10% of your money.

That's better than the US for a lot of people.
