Got to thinking last night when the Cable went out. Payment forMedical services seems to be a primary issue for the Medical/Entertainer professions. So thought up something totally impossible to implement.

The basic concept is to but a registration terminal into the med centers/cantina's. The registration terminals would work something like the bazaar terminals not.

When a doctor/medic/cm comes into the medcenter they can register at the terminal. On registration it would post name,title, fee per wound healed.

When a patient comes in they would register. After registering they could select a doctor. They would see name/title/cost per wound/total cost for that medic to heal them, and how many patients the medic is currently seeing.

When the patient selects the medic then they would basically become part of that medics healing group and would see the doc in the magenta color and the other patients s/he has in green. When healing is completed they're dropped from the registration terminal and disbanded from the group.

On selecting a medic they would needsubmit credits tocover the cost. The credits would go in to pool(much like the harvesters pool). As the medic heals them the credits would be transferred to the Medicsaccount. If for any reason the patient isn't healed completely by the medic the remaining balance in the pool would default back to the patient.

You would need to prohibit Medics/Doc/Cm from being able to heal anyone in the medcenter unlessthey them selvesare registered.

Patients could only be healed by the Medic/Doc/Cm they've registered to with.

For those short on Credits, Youwould need to increase the healing rate moderately in the med center. Don't want them sitting around for 4 hrs to heal, wouldn't be fun.

They would also have access to the Free Clinic Doc's(like my self). We have droids with med module and usually do allot of our healing outside the med center(I know I do), no charge just a thank you will do.

Cantina's would have something similar,but you'd have to account for entertainer grouping, may let the group leader registart the group. Then the credits would be spread out among the group like missions are.

Food for thought, could never happen, but like I said I was bored last night.

Somebody brought up a good point last night when I was discussing tips on the downtime. Fanboys routinely spend upwards of 10k tips on sexy dancers, because the sex factor is there, but rarely have I broken a 1k tip (5k once from a Master something-or-other who was generous). Until we start dressing like sluts, we're never going to get anywhere.

My biggest tip yet for healing someone exclusively was 20k. But I get alot of people that dont pay nothing. I mean right now im just doing it to get my exp but they dont realize the cost associated with it. Guess Im kinda feeling like an underappreciated teacher.

interesting idea...sounds like a lot of new coding and new programming...dont know if I would trust them with making a working system like that when they cant even fix the stuff out now...
