Trauma Team

"By now, I don't even see the bodies as people. I see them as either parts or pickups."

Trauma Team International is a corporation that specializes in rapid response medical services. As the premium paramedical franchise, Trauma Team is one of most powerful corporations of the cyber age.

Overview
A franchise of paramedics operating in the US, Canada, and parts of Europe. Trauma teams can be summoned by dialing 911 on any phone, and can trace a call to its source. The client is billed from the moment you call until delivery to the hospital.

A trauma team client may also opt to carry a deadman transmitter, which will activate and automatically signal a Trauma Team the moment the client's brainwave pattern falls into a coma state.

The Trauma Team is composed of paramedics expertly trained in combat, who will go to any length to deliver their clients from harm. Those wealthy enough to afford a Trauma Team medical plan receive a card and biochip implant.

Business Model
In the year 2020, Trauma Team's business model was marked by a promise that the team would be able to reach a patient within 7 minutes, or their money back. The standard Trauma Team price in 2020 was E$100 per minute, from initial dispatch to arrival in a hospital. Corporate insurance plans were available, as were E$500 monthly plans.

In the year 2077, Trauma Team's business model now includes different levels of service. In the Cyberpunk 2077 mission Breaking Through, Trauma Team client Sandra Dorsett is shown to have a "Platinum" level Trauma Team membership. Advertising materials for Trauma Team visible in a megabuilding lobby promise a 3-minute response time, apparently having improved since 2020.

Trauma Team Squads
Each Trauma Team squad consists of: Each trauma team squad has their own TTI Medical AV-4A, a light-weight Aerodyne made of composite materials. The pilot mans the AV-4A, while the co-pilot mans the vehicle's front-mounted gatling gun. The pilot and co-pilot do not leave the Aerodyne during patient extraction, and their cockpit is kept separate from the rest of the vehicle.
 * An Aerodyne pilot
 * An Aerodyne co-pilot and gunner
 * 2x Security Specialists
 * A lead EMT (Emergency Medical Technician)
 * An assistant EMT

During flight, two Security Specialists sit in the same compartment as the EMTs. The security specialists sit directly behind the pilot and co-pilot, and each of them mans a 7.62 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) machine-gun mounted to their side of the vehicle. The EMTs sit toward the back of the vehicle, with the Lead EMT sitting next to the patient stretcher and the Assistant EMT sitting next to the medical supplies.

During patient extraction, the two EMTs and two Security Specialists disembark from the AV-4A and make their way to the patient to rescue them. If necessary, the two Security Specialists will clear a path to the patient for the EMTs using their rifles and submachine guns. Each EMT is armed with a pistol for self-protection.
