As you may remember, on the SA-MP Server, there was an opportunity to roleplay with hospital staff at All Saints, County General, and some other locations as time went on. I'm happy to say that this type of roleplay will be carried over to the GTA V server. Here is what we have determined so far: On an in-character basis, we will have a private, independently-run hospital. We're still finalizing which location we will be using in-game. On an out-of-character basis, we will be in the same faction as the LSFD. This set up is to give us access to a stable forum and in-game faction. We are, however, an independent sub-faction within the LSFD and independent of their rank structure. On that note, we're following a somewhat similar format to the LSFD before 2016 which had a two-sector system: (1) EMT/Firefighter and (2) Hospital. However, during that time, the faction allowed for the unrealistic practice of characters who were both firefighters and doctors. That will no longer be the case; instead of two sectors within the LSFD, it is now going to be two factions: the LSFD main faction and the hospital sub-faction, with separate rank structures, leadership, and roleplay locations. We will allow only physician characters to join. Our rank structure essentially follows a realistic medical path: Intern, Resident, (possible, but not necessary promotion:) Chief Resident, (possible, but not necessary promotion:) Fellow, Attending Physician, Deputy Chief of Medicine, and Chief of Medicine. While a Deputy Chief of Medicine rank generally does not exist in real life, we want to be able to assemble a small team for the hospital faction's leadership and maintain the separate supervisory rank of Attending Physician. While the Chief of Medicine is the leader of the hospital faction, only on an OOC basis, the Chief of Medicine answers to the Fire Chief. For in-character purposes, the Chief of Medicine answers to a (non-existent) Board of Directors - basically, a RP name for being answerable to someone above the Chief of Medicine. I will be the Chief of Medicine. I was involved in hospital roleplay off and on between 2014 and 2018 and was in charge of the LSFD's hospital sector and sub-sector for good chunks of time. We have no plans to have ordinary "hospitalist" doctors or nurses at this point. Those will be NPCs for roleplay purposes. We aim to strike a balance between realism and ease of access for players. We are not trained medical professionals in real life. We have a series of guides that were used before (and have now been updated) that I believe puts a fair balance between realism and ease of access for the player base. There is only a small learning curve for those who want to join the faction, but you can join with literally zero knowledge of anatomy and still do just fine as a member of the faction. We have relatively simple guides and a wealth of information for our faction members. The hospital sector was most successful on SA-MP when there were events that brought people into the hospital. This included the disaster events, LSFD-hosted blood drives, fundraisers, or advertisements for general checkups. Excluding disaster events (we obviously have no say on that), we do plan on eventually hosting similar events to draw interest to the faction. We want to create a faction that is fun for faction members and for general players. In some cases, most of the work that we would do on SA-MP was treating gunshot wounds or handling people begging for medication because they were affected by the script's addiction system. How exactly that trend will change is up to you, the player base: what is it that you want to see from the hospital faction? If you were previously involved in hospital roleplay on the SA-MP server and are interested in participating, do reach out to me as well! We also have information on the sort of recruitment we will be doing on the LSFD forums if you are interested in reading more.

Same! So excited for this to start up again.

I'm pretty happy to see that this is coming back. I really missed actual hospital role-play back on SA-MP when LS-RP had in-game doctors, nurses, a pharmacy & more. Wish you guys the best of luck and do your best to keep this moving.

I don't think it's entirely realistic to keep vehicles in-game when considering the vast amount of crimes likely to occur and the high number of vehicles thefts. In real-life, you can lock your vehicle and go inside your house. If your alarm goes off you'd likely hear it. Whereas on here, we will be limited to the amount of playing time we can dedicate to the game due to real-life obligations. I think spawning and depsawning is necessary due to the constraints we have.

Ohh! Greatly written and good for new players

Good guide ♥
