I can imagine it now: Trauma team responding to a client - shoots someone they perceive is interfering, only to get a new text message that a client with a higher tier of coverage just got shot.

Tbh given the U.S's current healthcare system, trauma team is surprisingly affordable.

I really want an extraction shooter based on being a trauma team squad.

I always thought Trauma team was cooler than maxtac

The Trauma Team goes through the entire city to save your life, *and by God, they WILL bring you back with them.*

Hands down the best corporation. It's literally the American health care system but on steroids. They'll heal you no problem.....if you can afford it.

I love how Trauma Team is a satire of the American health service system much like how Maxtac is a satire of the American SWAT.

The platinum coverage may be expensive, but considering they'll sacrifice as many squads as they need to save you, it's actually so cheap it's kind of insane how little they value their soldiers

That story about Nadia was bone chilling. There really are no happy endings in night city.

Not even trauma team could save Rebecca

Would have loved a spin off or dlc to play as trauma team. Custom load out choices for the security and emts depending on what the situation is, plotting a route to get there in under 3 to 5 minutes. Flying in to a hot LZ and having to extract a client under fire. Man there is so much potential in the idea.

Honestly I like the concept of trauma team, the idea that they come to save lives at a minutes notice sounds nice but in night city you get the complete opposite of it, were only the rich can afford their services and the taxes that comes with it.🐱

I think the Trauma Team concept could be useful as army combat medics.

Edgerunners has one of my favorite Trauma Team bits. Seeing them interact with Maxtac and the regular police while (spoiler) went psycho really shows how much they aren't there to help. They pulled out the moment the client was lost, that psycho isn't their problem. Now that I think about it, I wonder what that incident ended up costing

The fact that you can’t get a Trauma Team outfit in 2077 is criminal. I imagine the armory within a MedCenter or Corpo Hospital is a sight to behold

Ambulance with guns. Kinda sick if you ask me. Sure they’ll look after you, but only if you’ve got insurance. If not they’ll leave to die on the street. So much for the Hippocrates oath

The mission where you save the lady in the tub (Dorset I think her name was) has to be one of the most memorable missions in the game for me. Everything about it (although short) was right on point; the mood, the lighting, the nudity (not just because "naked chick", but it added to the rawness of the whole scene), and the way Trauma Team interacted with you and Jackie (you got the vibe of "give us our client, don't expect a "thank you", just be happy we don't shoot you").

When both Max-Tac and Trauma Team show up in the playing field, you know that the playing just got rough.

I think every group should be an option to join. Imagine being these guys rescuing people, mini game to save a life, integrate with main mission to save an important life. That just me but would make the game more fun plus who doesn't like to get the apparel to look like your favorite faction 😂

Honestly I think Trauma Team are a perfect snapshot of Night City as a whole. If you're rich enough it's fantastic, if you're poor then you can just die I guess.

Shows that there is still a lot of potential in the Cyberpunk universe, Trauma team who you barely interact with in game is so cool that people are willing to make videos about their lore

I was a Combat Medic in the Army and I love these guys. I would love to play as part of trauma team

I loved the interaction between the NCPD and Trauma Team in Edgerunners. When their client ends up dead, Trauma just bails out and leaves the hopelessly outgunned cops to handle the cleanup.

Trauma Team had no coverage for the damage we received from watching Cyberpunk Edgerunners

Trauma team is by far my favorite organization and sub-lore to Cyberpunk. Militarized corporate paramedics is just the pinnacle of believable dystopia for me. This video covers it all so well.

When I first saw all the videos about all the factions of cyberpunk I assumed that you could join whatever group (militech, arasaka or the streetgang etc.) and I was hoping I could join trauma team bcs you are always in action trying save people (good alignment rp). It felt like the perfect faction to join. But sadly that never happened. the only interaction really is when you transfer the girl but thats about it. Wish Cyberpunk had a less linear and more open choice. maybe for Cyberpunk 2 in like 10 years

Someone should make a mod for cyberpunk that allows you to get a trauma team membership to avoid the death screen

Trauma Team, despite its unethical downsides, is my favorite corporation in the game.

Trauma Team got to be one of the coolest ideas i seen in games

A Cyberpunk spinoff where you play as the trauma team defending and saving clients would be sick

As a primer for the setting and tabletop system, my friends and I did a mini campaign that had us playing as Trauma Team members. I played the assistant EMT, but even he was lethal in combat with all the gear and smart weaponry they have access to. Was a hell of a lot of fun, and even though we've moved onto playing our Edgerunners now, I'd love to do more with TT. I really hope they get a game of their own at some point.

Trauma team has seen some shit and now they don't want to deal with such hell anymore. I can't really blame their motives and methods.

I love the idea of trauma team. We need this IRL. A damn black hawk landing on your front lawn with a fully kitted out team of armed goons and an MD.

Imagine a COOP where you and the boys play as Trauma Team extraction squad...

Having the Trauma Team introduced in the first mission was such a good decision. I don't think i have seen a better example of world building than Trauma Team. 1: A world soo devastated by crime that doctors have to come to you in full combat gear, and 2: if you can afford it.

I love your CyberPunk lore videos.

*"Place the patient on the and take 5 steps back!!!!"* These guys are the epitome of badassery and are dystopian as fuck.

Trauma Team oddly feels like the conclusion to how the US is dealing with healthcare. I wouldn't be surprised if something like this exists in the future.

It reminds me of what fire stations used to be, you would apply for protection from a station (or chain of stations) and that station would protect you, but if another station arrived on scene and you didn't have their protection they would just leave if the fire didn't cause a danger to their own customers

Trauma team may charge a hefty price for some their coverages, but when you realize these medics risk their life to save you, and those that survive experience the pain nadia felt, It's worth every eddie. It's why the residents of night city, even gang members, respect Trauma Team. They can't save everyone in a city like this, it's too dangerous, but they sure as hell fight tooth and nail to save a life

There was a real missed opportunity to have Trauma Team as a recurrimg boss Like certain NPCs, if killed or injured can cause a Trauma Team squad to show up and secure the area, potentially fighting you if you're still around the area

After watching this video last night and jumping ingame, if you head to the medical center for the first time you'll see two trauma team combat medics outside having a "hush hush" conversation with one of them telling the other he "needs to get the new implant otherwise he'll be fired". The new implant they're talking about is a neural communicator that allows trauma team to monitor EVERYTHING their field medics do, say and even think! much to the displeasure of the other combat medic saying "But they'll know what you think before you think it" and the other responding "yeah so? i've got nothing to hide". I think it's an interesting development and very inline with the "corpos wanna manipulate and control everyone" mentality and could be a result of Nadia.

Figured since you covered the Merc group you would cover the Medical group. Keep up the awesome work

I wished the Trauma Team was more prevalent in the story, or if you could do side missions with them. They were by far one of the coolest things in the game. Especially your first introduction to them when you're saving that girl in the beginning. Reminded me a lot of 5th Element.

A horde shooter where you play as a trauma team squad trying to fight off gangmembers and mercenaries to rescue clients would be pretty fun

The quintessential stereotype of American healthcare, warranted or not.

A squad shooter co-op game where you play as trauma team tasked to extract someone from a gang filled building would be sick. Throw in a cyberpsycho as a surprise

Honestly, medics that can clear and secure a scene would be incredible as there'd be no need to wait for police to respond.

I'd say Trauma Team is the most fascinating corporation in CP. With all the metamorphoses it undergone, it is safe to say that not only this corporation was fighting to keep their paying customers alive, but it also fought for its own survival. Expanding, rebranding, downsizing, rebranding again, and then expanding and rebranding again. I was curious about this corp, but not curious enough, mind you, to go and look the detes myself. So thank you for this neat little piece of content.

Trauma team's combo of paramedic and military is fascinating and should definetly see more screen time in the game.

like jackie said.. if you got premium, your suite or mansion boutta be crawling with traumas after you SNEEZE WRONG.

So Trauma Team quite literally operates under the same guidelines of the paramedics in GTA: San Andreas, where they would just run over 4 people to save one.

This was a great video and it shows how interesting and complex trauma team is and the sort of stories that can be told they have so much potential them and MAXTAC, I mean who doesn't love medics with guns that has received training on the level of tier one / two operators.

One of the best lores in videogame, cyberpunk is deeper than it looks.

This gives a whooole new perspective on Trauma Team, in-game and in Edgerunners they feel like cynical machines that do nothing but follow orders, ignoring what the "right thing to do" would be. But the comic really changes that, it shows you there's still good in them and some of them do all they can to help, even if they're not supposed to. It's really sweet and definitely changed what I thought of Trauma Team

Just getting back into Cyberpunk 2077 for my 3rd playthough and I have to say that these videos get me hyped. Only just found your channel and these lore videos are top notch! looking forward to binging your content and seeing your future videos!

As a relatively fresh EMT myself, I found myself in love with the Trauma Team on 2077's release... Well, of course apart from the whole paying thing God damn, with some of the places we go to, I'd feel infinitely safer if there was an SMG in the ambo I could take into the crackhouse with me

I have a video idea. I'd be interested to know how the intercontinental train in 2077 works and why it doesn't anymore. Assuming there's enough lore out there for it.

Bloody hell this was fantastic coverage, thank you so much for such an in-depth and well put together look at Trauma Team!

In one of the cyberpsicho attacks, one corporate died because the payment was late by a week, so they didn't come, what a satire

Only 100s-1000s of dollars per month? That’s literally a 90-99% decrease in costs compared to US healthcare

American Health Care in a nutshell

I feel it is a little ridiculous to allow several trauma teams to die to a paying client. I feel like the rule should be “if you kill one of our guys you are blacklisted” or smth

I wish there was a questline where you could join them and go on missions. Flying around in the AV, picking up injured clients in some Scav haunts, blasting them if they interfere. Could make for a good radiant system too.

I’d love to have a DLC based on Trauma team missions, story lines, etc. Wouldn’t it be cool if you are assigned to the mission Jackie and V called the trauma team on?

Really enjoying the lore videos. About to go on a morning binge before my kiddos get up. Gonna sit in the balcony, enjoy the rain and coffee and watch some of these. Hopefully they don't stop. Eventually I plan to start my tabletop rpg collection but for now i learn everything through KZfaq about Night City. Thanks again!!!

Wealth in 2023: Having a home. Wealth in 2077: Having the premium Trauma Team subscription

"Based in Seattle" Yep, that explains a lot.

I think Cyberpunk shouldve done a version of a fire department ingame. Cops had Maxtech and medics had Trauma Team.

everyone gangsta till someone with trauma team platinum dies in their vicinity

I love how in the end of Nadia’s comic, you could see one pistol casing among the blood and rifle casings And that pistol casing Was front and center Leaving us to believe that Nadia got her vengeance, but got gunned down for her troubles

Many thanks for making this video! I just started to explore the lore of cyberpunk and I found your videos to be the most interesting. Are you going to cover what happened to the rest of the world? Maybe a country by country or region by region introduction?

Those of us in the US rn 🧐 Nah, dead ass, pretty much all ambulance services are privately owned, and they all charge insane amount of money. Parents had to pay 5k for a 30 min car ride to the hospital. It's crazy because people here would rather drive themselves or even die before calling an ambulance. Hence, the "when someone threatens to call an ambulance" meme

Really enjoying these Cyberpunk lore videos, quality work, subbed!

Damn, after hearing her story I hoped she’d live and be in the second cyber punk

Trauma Team is out of all the "factions" (i say that cuz coming across them is like a world encounter) i never interfere with because in my head its pointless. They are going about their daily business not bothering anyone (unless bothered by us). It would be an awesome idea if we had more interactions with them because other than saving Sandra Dorsett they are pretty much just background filler that you see leaving before you arrive at a location or they are helping save clients/assisting the police in mass homicides

idk why but I love first responders generally (irl), and with the first trailer of Cyberpunk I fell in love the the Trauma Team and the idea behind it. Thanks for the video!

Thank you so much for breaking this down for me. I remember getting Cyberpunk2077 on launch day and standing outside of V's apartment and hearing the Trauma Team Ad playing above the city, and every since that moment in 2020 I was very curious about the lore behind them. I didn't even know that they had lore for the factions within the Cyberpunk universe. Excited for Phantom Liberty!

"feels like platinum" Preem video choom ❤

Excellent video, well produced - as always! Many thanks!

been waiting for someone to make a video like this

Honestly, Trauma Team is a really kickass name for battle medics.

So, we have US type healthcare due to billing and insurance mixed with a Chinese bullet fee if they use ammo. Gottya

Love the Cyberpunk stuff, you're doing great work!

Wow, what a great video. I subscribed for more. I love the clarity of elocution and gravitas. You are a great storyteller.

A story of the trauma team going for a extraction directly from a heavily armed gang turning into a warzone would be nice

Great video as always, Fish. Is there any chance you'd do a video on the Lazarus Group? I know that don't really show up in 2077, but Mr. Welch's brief coverage of them piqued my interest.

After getting some medical bills last year, it's insane that the cyberpunk corporate hellscape prices are much more affordable than the real life ones.

I love love love your lore videos!! Thank you!

Love All the Cyberpunk Lore this shit makes my day!

If they end up doing some live action 2077 stories, they need to make a Sin City-style anthology film with Trauma Team, MaxTac and Corpo segments

This whole video is AMAZING!!! Your storytelling of Trauma Team is EPIC! What is your secret on capturing the game footage used in this video???

really exceptional video. ditto++ for the history of Cyberpunk video, which I hadn't actually realized was yours as well until I went back and checked. I also wish they had been a feature in the game as well - would have been cool to see them come flying in to at least revive you and mow down some enemies as well. I'm not sure which tabletop game introduced it first, but the RPG Shadowrun has a similar sort of organization, with silver, gold and platinum programs. In the Shadowrun videogames it plays a part to the extent that having purchased a plan, the character will be revived if they go down, with a variable amount of HP restored depending on the level of their plan. It doesn't show any actual intervention by the program, but is just used as a game feature that heals you if you otherwise would have died. I don't remember what the lore in Shadowrun is for them - but they are called "Doc-wagon" or something along those lines trauma plans/services. Because CP and Shadowrun were kind of developed concurrently during the early 1980's by different RPG companies (FASA for Shadowrun - the same folks who brought you Battletech as well) they share a lot of similar concepts and features etc. The Shadowrun video/PC games for instance also have things like different what they call etiquettes, being corporate, ganger, shadowrunner and quite a few others - and having points there allows you to pass checks in conversations and so forth that you otherwise wouldn't - something that does show up in Cyberpunk 2077 to a degree as well. So, both RPG systems share a number of mechanical features too. Back to the original topic here though - neither really does a good job of demonstrating in game the real experience of what is taking place (with CP2077 not having it as a feature at all I don't think - though I may have forgotten if it has something similar to that in the shadowrun computer games.) and so the service remains a topic that would certainly be cool to introduce into the sequel or maybe in a DLC for this one at some point.

How was it that I was just listening to Vector Seven - Trauma Team when I saw your video drop? 😂 That was very convenient

Relative to everything else in universe and even modern American healthcare, their prices aren’t that bad- especially given the dangers they face. One of the few corps I respect.

“Trauma Team. My girlfriend broke up with me.” “FIVE STEPS BACK”

Great video as always , i really hope we get to see trauma team more in the expansion same as max tac

Every time I hear someone starting a story about a named person in Night City, I get this sick feeling because I know it will always end poorly.

Training as an EMT, how Trauma Team operates is literally the new standard for how EMS responds to active shooting incidents. EMT/Paramedics go in with armed police to triage & treat patients during the scene clear. Previously EMS would wait until the scene was cleared before entering.
