Doctor Archive

Greatings friends,

I'm a master doctor, and after not getting tipped for a few hours of healing people constantly in Bestine, I said no more...

So I ask for credits up front. Not too much, but not too little. Always at least 200 credits, and it can very on location... Like Wayfar you can tip more then Anchorhead....

But anyway, on to the tip. What I do is say "For X credits up front I'll heal you, but if I don't do it in under 2 minutes you get a full refund."

They normally go, oh what the hell, or deal, or sounds good. I've never had anyone deny my services so far. And being a Master Doctor of course I can heal them under the 2 minute marker including secondaries.

So anyway, just thought I'd share that with everyone.

While asking for payment before healing someone isn't wrong, I don't practice it myself.

I usually get 500 credits from people who can afford it, after I give my 600 power "Ninja Wound Healing".

So, 500 credits for every 3rd person: 1500 for ten people, thats already enough to pay for a day of medium harvestors maintenence. 40 charges per wound pack: 6000 credits. More than enough to make a profit and pay for the maintenence and supplies that it takes to run business. I usually don't do this, I make money either doing missions or selling chemicals.

Then again, there are the bad days in which no one tips me whatsoever, but I'm so used to it, I never notice it. Then there are the days that I gain more than 30k on tips alone, but that's usually during raids when people are scambling to get their clones updated and got killed.

Just learn to say hello and, "Can I help you?" "I'll heal those wounds for you." And remember the, "Thank you!" or, "Thanks." if the tip is 100 credits or less.

I know this sounds mean, but if I was visiting a exotic planet like Yavin 4, I would ask for payment before I even did anything. I mean, we all didn't pay 2k just to go to the planet and do nothing, then come back. Hey, if he doesn't want to pay for me to be there, then oh well, you're screwed! Spend 4k to go to a main city then come back, you end up paying more than eight times than what I would have asked. Yes, I am an evil person.

I really don't know how secret it is that a person with a "master doc" tag gets more tips.

I don't know about that. I wear my tag often enough, but I almost never get tipped when I heal. Even a mega-heal out on someplace like Lok. Maybe it's just me, though. I guess nobody like to tip Wookiees.
