Hey you know I've been curious seeing as how you've done backgrounds on the gangs nomad clans and seeing with trauma team you ever thought of doing won on the corporations like arasaka militech kang tao an so on just curious 🤔 .
So the real question is. What if trama team responds to a platinum and in the process comes across and critically wounds another platinum client? probably would just leave them there and let another team come to take care of that client instead.
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.
I can see how two clients get into a fight, and then get injured, then two trauma teams are dispatched to get them. If they still shoot at each other, then the two trauma teams have to fight each other to extract their client. I think it makes sense to blacklist those who interfere or shoot at trauma team and revoke their coverage. Would prevent stuff like Nadia's story from happening.
@@MrPikaGammer If you're current on your payments, they absolutely will save your life, by any means necessary. You should play the tabletop game it gives a lot more accurate info.
@@zerogrey3798 I played 2020 for around a decade R.E.O. Meat Wagon are more reliable and cheaper than Trauma Team. I've had Meat Wagon launch rescue missions to save my character while on the other hand me and my buddy had Trauma Team leave an entire party to die because we were in the Combat Zone.
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
@@lutokill4784 I can’t make peace with this, cause the trauma team are soldiers and medics both being not cheap to produce. Irl navy seal is quite expensive 500 k and training medic is over 500 k
@@chrispekel5709 It was probably like GW in MGS2 where it was an exaggerated prediction to show an extreme example for the time and ironically life ended up imitating art by coincidence.
@@chrispekel5709 these issues have been satirized by punk culture for a long time. It's called cyber punk, for a reason it is political by nature and comes from where punk was born which is undoubtedly the og hard alt left
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.
If it’s a spin-off (therefore its own game) you could maybe even have a whole aspect where you need to treat patients, starting out with obvious injuries and gradually requiring more diagnosing as the game goes on. Would be a very fitting puzzle element.
@@naedanger123 too true and there’s no shortage on medical experts/professionals who enjoy video games and great stories that getting the proper realistic treatments and what not. Plus it’s the future make shit up. Fucking bio foam from halo that magic goo that fixes everything, I would love to have that shit on my ward. They could even just us an UI like ACE from arma 3 which presented an intermediate look on trauma care within a combat zone. And on side a note, they could even do the same thing with MAXTEC or whatever their called, basically bounty hunting where you can recruit the psycho(s), maybe there’s multiple on a mission, maybe another officers gone tougher, etc Sorry for the ramble
Your happy ending in Night City is either dying peacefully in your sleep like that one dude who died in a chemical attack in that motel, or leaving the city.
and if you cant afford in eddies, theyll start taking organs or cyberware, deducting the blackmarket sale price from your total(minus the cost of surgery) and if they need to take vital organs, replace them with cheap russian or chinese cyberware(which you need to pay for) or maybe thats just some schitzo ramblings i heard on the radio
@Vincent Grinn I always loved hearing that on the radio. It just reinforces my belief that they are great at what they do, but if you can't afford it, you'll pay for it in other ways. Absolutely hardcore+
@@vincentgrinn2665 No, that is indeed how I have always run it. Especially playing 2020, we dealt with some really dark stuff because that is how Night City is. Honestly, watching this videos just makes me want to run a Trauma Team game where all of the players are TTI members and need to go out on calls. Cyberpunk Red is still available and anyone can play this too.
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
Let's see : easily 2 magazines of smart rounds per security officer, an AV, 6 employees and all their gear, a dozen police and all their gear, and a MAXTAC team and gear. Now if I remember correctly, the Kang Tao Dian costs around 15k per gun i think, though there is no in game difference between regular and smart ammunitions, though i assume smart are more expensive ; the Omahas are cheap as chips so negligeable, and we have no idea for the cost of a trauma team uniform. Oh and the AV costs a stupid amount of money. For the MAXTAC, 3 soldiers with top shelf cyberware, ICE and gear : the cyberware probably doesn't cost MAXTAC anything, as they are ex cyberpsychos so all their cyberware was already installed (see Jinguji secret conversation with MAXTAC officer). The ICE is probably replicable but the patent costs to keep up so I think it's discountable. However, the gear is pretty costly, the Militech Achilles costs in the ballpark of 25k each and i imagine that the uniform is pretty costly as well. That being said, i don't quite remember, were 2 AVs destroyed? Or just the Trauma Team one? That being said, overall it was costly, but surprisingly not that bad, oh and a dozen Lexingtons for the police officers, but again, cheap
Not even a good point trauma has a job. Once their client dies their job is over. If im at work as a dishwasher and the kitchen gets backed up its not really my job to help.
@@ralcogaming7674this is more like seeing the police trying to apprehend a armed crack head and then turning around because why would you get involved ?
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.🐱
The only way to show how expensive that would be is with the closest equivelent of Life Flight and that cost around $25,000 per. The helicopter alone will burn anywhere from 55 to 110 gallons of fuel per hour operation and they're not gonna pro rate a 20 min round trip either. Then you need two certified helicopter pilots who arent gonna fly for $20 an hour. Then you need the actual medics.
That's the whole point though because cyberpunk as a genre is essentially this is what capitalism could be like at its worst. So in that world of course emergency response teams would charge for every minute detail. Just look at if you have to call an ambulance to your house most people will just drive themselves to the hospital because an ambulance itself costs like $800 not to mention if they have to do anything while you're on the way. Which is what this " trauma team" is trying to represent in the most dramatized way.
donno man, non millionaires being able to afford even a basic service of armed team + ambulance who would risk life and limb to save you and fly you to the hospital... sounds pretty darn good.
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
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.
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").
@@alexandergreene461 It makes no sense for them to shoot on sight...That would just instigate more violence to come to them in every scenario. It would go from commentary to parody.
Most armies has them, its called CSAR Unit (Combat search and rescue). Trauma Team probably got inspiration from them since their main job is to rescue personel in hostile environtment usually with a helicopter for easy manuverability. Trauma Team is basically a CSAR Unit for Civillian.
@kikosawa I mean, Trauma Team's job is to get their patient to safety no matter what. MaxTac are apex predators sure, but let's not underestimate the medical team formed just to go into battle zones and take their patient no matter what
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.
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
For the same reason no one cares about dnd. Its niche. You think since balders gate 3 came out people care about dnd? Not really. Just be realistic dude. Only very few people care about tabletop @@citizenvulpes4562
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.
Yep. No such thing as trying to save lives for the Trauma Team, just saving a source of money. Just like any other corporation, they don't care about people. But hey, at least they will save you no matter what. If you can afford it.
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 😂
Much like the Ambulance mini game in GTA but not being part of main story. What could be even better is that after a number of saves your character gets a permanent boost in health, also, when you character dies in battle (or misadventure) TT can save but it’ll have a cool down tho.
That wouldn't really make sense for V's story though. V wants to be the best merc in Night City and save their own life from the Relic. The whole concept was that V is supposed to be racing against time. It makes no sense whatsoever that V would waste time joining Trauma Team or NCPD or MaxTac or whatever for GTA-style minigames in Cyberpunk 2077. Doing the current gigs and side jobs make some sense since those are merc jobs and V is doing that to become the best merc in Night City. At most V should be able to join one of the gangs and do side jobs/gigs as merc for them. But even then it would be tough to make sense in the game. Say you join Tyger Claws, Maelstrom or VDB. How should the story justify you killing these guys in other missions?
@@gerhardaryawardana72 that’s why it conflicts with the story structure, if lets say the whole plot point of the Relic, was different or gave you more time, or we could have gotten the relic at the end of the game to kick off the ticking time bomb, instead of it starting at the beginning. With all that said cyberpunk 2077 is really a wasted potential, so much could have been achieved but this is the product we got. A wasted potential.
@@gerhardaryawardana72 it doesn't only have to be this cyberpunk, Next game that comes out like GTARP idc how they would do multiplayer or coop. but it doesnt have to be about V. She could join Trina team to find a way to help cure her of what she has, obviously cant save herself but that could just be one ending out of many.
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.
@@PiemanPerkins the economy doesn’t seem the same as the real world. A high tier car is only 100,000 eddys, while an orange is 5 eddys and a drink from a vending machine max 3 eddys, a high tier legendary gun is around 5,000 Eddys and these aren’t regular guns as in the real world so it can be understandable that a top 10% weapon costs that much when you can get a plastic vending machine gun for 100 Eddys I think. Yet more people are poor and their poor reality seems more like the slums of Philly. Whatever their economy is, no one is getting paid or even enough it seems, it seems bizarre how everything is cheap yet everyone is down bad POOR
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.
Yes that is the one aspect of cyberpunk I wish we got to see more of. Trauma Team, Maxtac, maybe if we could even play the one good corpo/police officer like in Deus Ex. Thank you for your service
Honestly, me and a friend were thinking, but playing as trauma team would be a perfect multiplayer co-op game mode for cyberpunk. You could play as trauma team in a squad, fighting through sickos and gangsters to save your client. Customize your trauma team agent, different guns, armor, weapons, load out, fight through a wide array of enemies and situations and recover your guy, die trying, or cut your losses and bolt
This is a great idea. and with a completely ruthless system that allows your patients to get killed if you fail...and you incur no penalties or mission failed from it. Just part of the job. Do better next time.
There are no good corpos. It's the rule of the market at this point: either you stomp and strangle or you quit and die. Both inside the corporation and outside of it.
@@besNait Eh, I don't see why not. As long as you're paying, Trauma Team doesn't give a fuck about who you are or what you do. If you pay for their services, they will save you no matter the cost. The only downside I see for V, if they had Trauma Team, is that someone really rich or another corp could bribe TT to give them access to your location, etc. That is, assuming TT even takes bribes, seeing as they probably would get paid a lot more by keeping a wealthy client. But seeing as tracking V is already possible for really good 'runners/powerful people, I don't think it would make much of a difference.
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
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
Yeah, there shouldve been more missions with Jackie involving more Maxtac and Trauma team encounters instead of the six month montage. Player would bond with Jackie more while learning more about the team and the maxtac imo. The big heist is too soon into the game.
100% agreed. I play as a good aligned character in this game (and did so in the tabletop version long ago), but sadly per Mr. Pondsmith himself the Cyberpunk universe is inherently a crap-sack world where there can be no good endings, which is a thematic element that CDPR carried out in the game. Even the "good" ending (the Nomad ending) is bittersweet, since regardless of any choices or efforts on your part as a player, Night City kills V in the end because the story is the story regardless of what you do.
@@snarkywriter1317 personally really liked the Arasaka ending where you give them your soul. And the suicide ending where you just end it. Seemed fitting for a dystopian future. Also the end credits with that one is rather sad. Glad they did gave us a choice in the endings tho.
You can do this now... This franchise started as and will always be tabletop. Cyberpunk Red is a simple system and yes, you and some friends can play as Trauma Team going out on calls. There is even a splat book for 2077 being released this year.
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.
I've been playing and running Cyberpunk since 1st edition. I promise you that some of the most fun adventures were the ones where the troupe portrayed TTI and went out on calls. Those were also some of the most harrowing games too because with a good group of players , you can touch on some very dark topics. It can be cathartic to run through. I don't have any regrets and would do it again.
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
They do have high turnover rate, often self-inflicted by the personnel due to all the stress. The ones that do survive and persevere become cold and task-focused.
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.
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.
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
You're thinking of a very specific time in the early Roman Republic. Sometimes they'd go to an active fire and ask for a lot of money. If they said no they would come back to buy the place for cheap after everything burnt down
@@ThatOliveMrT This was absolutely a phenomenon in the US during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It's why we have such a strong culture of public, volunteer fire departments today. In fact, it was worse. They wouldn't just charge you protection, they'd come to put out your fire and then extort you afterwards. If two fire departments went to put out the same fire, they'd fight each other in the street to determine who got to put out the fire.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Damn right they are expensive. You are paying to have delta force show up in a flying emergency room gunship 30 seconds after you flatline, reach into Hell to rip your screaming soul back and slap it into your still warm body. Well worth the price.
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 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.
Max Tac and Trauma Team need each other and should always work together. Can’t save anyone if the scene’s not safe and secure. Losing medics like that just because nobody neutralized/eliminated the threat is unacceptable. I’m surprised the company even sustained itself. At least the real world SWAT would not throw EMTs to the slaughter like this. But what do I know…
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
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!
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.
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.
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 TH-cam about Night City. Thanks again!!!
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!
I hope the next Edge runners anime is about trauma team tbh, so much potential for a exciting and wild drug rush, medical drama type action anime. Especially if the protagonist starts Trauma team then turns Edge Runner like Maria Martinez, that would be seriously sick chooms
Just saying... it would be super cool to have Trauma Team coverage.. and they come to save your ass if you flatline. Be another excellent way to tour some parts of MedCenter. If I remember the Pen and Paper game the Silver Slashes guarded the Metro area and the surrounding neighborhood of Trauma Center. The MedCenter housed the Trauma Team I believe on the upper/parts of the floors where all the AVs would come and go. There were various Ambulance entrances, and an entry to the Crisis/Trauma part of the Hospital (Non-Trauma Team), I believe there was a large cafeteria and a park inside as well. The NCART service was huge in this area, hence the Silver Slashes to defend against unwanted predators.
Also, I think the blue/blue-trimmed buildings near Trauma Center were the actual Medical Building offices. At least in Pen and Paper, they were on the outskirts of the Trauma Center. I believe the #11 building is reserved for Medical staff etc. Could be wrong though.
One thing I love about your channel is that you wait until the end to do all your advertisements and shout outs to consideration that most TH-camrs need to learn
With the way Califronia and Illinois are looking, these trauma teams might become a new market soon. Hope that I'm gonna finish university before it becomes a thing

@@GLASSMOSCOWANDBEIJING That is literally EXACTLY the world Cyberpunk is warning against. Literally the WHOLE point of Cyberpunk is "It would suck massive balls if things were this bad".
@@zacharylandes5109 my guy, show me an actually realistic depiction of a corporate ruled universe. Cyberpunk, Blade Runner and Detroit become human never actually did that. It essentially boils down to "automation happens, nobody works, everybody poor", but if it actually was like that then how the f**k would these corporations make money? If everybody is poor and unemployed because of full automation then who is gonna be buying their products/services. You usually make the most because of government contracts and the general populace
@@GLASSMOSCOWANDBEIJING My guy, the whole point of the entire genre is literally that it would suck if it got to that point. Cyberpunk isn't "Robots have replaced everyone and automation happens" it's "Megacorporations go so unchecked that they're fully allowed to govern themselves and entire cities/countries because of their global economic influence, often leading to the death of many of the world's most vulnerable groups like the poor and working class". A majority of the people in those universes *are* working, and they can still barely afford to survive. That's the point. It's almost like there's a PUNK in CyberPUNK. Jesus Christ.
So I know it’s supposed to be dystopian where they don’t treat you if you don’t have insurance, but it’s better than what the current American system is where they treat you involuntarily and then enslave you when you can’t pay for it
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!
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.
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?
If you have the PC version, someone made a mod on Nexus that allows you to "work" with Trauma Team on missions. Though, last I saw it is a bit barebones.
Holy shit! You are an excellent Reader, you brought this to a rich & lasting life. I’m replaying the game now, and this has given the experience a bit of extra color. Thank you, be well…
I think i’ve watched this about 4 times now, and it is still as intriguing as the first time. I have no connection to your channel nor to Cyperpunk yet still this video was recommended to me when it came out, and I still love it! Idk what it is about it, but the video keeps me coming back, even a year later.
I enjoyed how you done the intro as an advertisement for Trauma Team, neat little idea there. Enjoyed this video, I don't play Cyberpunk but a friend kinda got me into the general universe and lore.
Yeah. I get, “there’s no happy endings in Cyberpunk” but some of the stories really give off, “oops, almost forgot to kill everyone” energy. And the tragedy ends up feeling shoehorned in.
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
I kind of like Trauma Team from a conceptual standpoint. Imagine how many lives could be saved if a paramedic could go in and provide first aid/triage without the police needing to secure the scene.
Hind sight 2024 looking at our current state of healthcare I’d rather pay an arm and a leg (pun intended) for the special ops of paramedics than a modern healthcare bill that stems from subpar service.

So the real question is. What if trama team responds to a platinum and in the process comes across and critically wounds another platinum client? probably would just leave them there and let another team come to take care of that client instead.
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.
Or they get several calls from the same general area and discover thet it's an active gang fight and both sides include clients and non-clients.
I think if that's the case tho they'll just wait till one of em gets injured
they most likely would make use of their AR helmet then like auto labeling clients and non-client
Not happening because every client is chipped or has identification that can be spotted by the Trauma Team- somehow I think- I’m just not sure how
I can see how two clients get into a fight, and then get injured, then two trauma teams are dispatched to get them. If they still shoot at each other, then the two trauma teams have to fight each other to extract their client. I think it makes sense to blacklist those who interfere or shoot at trauma team and revoke their coverage. Would prevent stuff like Nadia's story from happening.

I really want an extraction shooter based on being a trauma team squad.
Would be a good premise for a co-op multiplayer mode, with a MaxTac raid mode too
pre wipe event
Extraction swat type trauma team shooter would be awesome
Play Star Citizen and join the rescue team guild there
a dlc based on that would be pretty fun too
Tbh given the U.S's current healthcare system, trauma team is surprisingly affordable.
If they were real, they'd have a Childcare package.
When real life is worse than the satire, things really have gone out of hand
This is a joke, right?
Wouldn't be surprised if something similar happens in real life.
Given that Trauma Team is a private company dedicated to MEDEVAC from what is essentially hostile warzones, they're probably a bargain.
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.
It was created a long time before things got as ridiculous as they have, which is interesting. As though he knew where it would all lead
@@chrispekel5709 It was probably like GW in MGS2 where it was an exaggerated prediction to show an extreme example for the time and ironically life ended up imitating art by coincidence.
@@chrispekel5709 these issues have been satirized by punk culture for a long time. It's called cyber punk, for a reason it is political by nature and comes from where punk was born which is undoubtedly the og hard alt left
Wait… You mean to tell me, that a game based in the US, has US references to it NO WAY 😱😱😱
@@Alvah707 No, it's satire. References would be them naming Maxtac after an actual SWAT unit and Trauma Team after an actual private hospital.
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.
Add RoN team mechanics and you're golden
If it’s a spin-off (therefore its own game) you could maybe even have a whole aspect where you need to treat patients, starting out with obvious injuries and gradually requiring more diagnosing as the game goes on. Would be a very fitting puzzle element.
I'd just like to ay as a full on evil corpo going up the ranks
@@naedanger123 too true and there’s no shortage on medical experts/professionals who enjoy video games and great stories that getting the proper realistic treatments and what not. Plus it’s the future make shit up. Fucking bio foam from halo that magic goo that fixes everything, I would love to have that shit on my ward. They could even just us an UI like ACE from arma 3 which presented an intermediate look on trauma care within a combat zone.
And on side a note, they could even do the same thing with MAXTEC or whatever their called, basically bounty hunting where you can recruit the psycho(s), maybe there’s multiple on a mission, maybe another officers gone tougher, etc
Sorry for the ramble
There is a cyberpunk trauma team comic. I got it a few months back.
That story about Nadia was bone chilling. There really are no happy endings in night city.
As it should be in cyberpunk.
As a famous rockerboy once said: "Here in Night City? Wrong people, wrong city."
I mean Lucy
@@larrychilders6599 she left.
Your happy ending in Night City is either dying peacefully in your sleep like that one dude who died in a chemical attack in that motel, or leaving the city.
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.
Imagine Canada’s 😂
and if you cant afford in eddies, theyll start taking organs or cyberware, deducting the blackmarket sale price from your total(minus the cost of surgery) and if they need to take vital organs, replace them with cheap russian or chinese cyberware(which you need to pay for)
or maybe thats just some schitzo ramblings i heard on the radio

@@vincentgrinn2665
No, that is indeed how I have always run it. Especially playing 2020, we dealt with some really dark stuff because that is how Night City is.
Honestly, watching this videos just makes me want to run a Trauma Team game where all of the players are TTI members and need to go out on calls.
Cyberpunk Red is still available and anyone can play this too.
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
Let's see : easily 2 magazines of smart rounds per security officer, an AV, 6 employees and all their gear, a dozen police and all their gear, and a MAXTAC team and gear.
Now if I remember correctly, the Kang Tao Dian costs around 15k per gun i think, though there is no in game difference between regular and smart ammunitions, though i assume smart are more expensive ; the Omahas are cheap as chips so negligeable, and we have no idea for the cost of a trauma team uniform. Oh and the AV costs a stupid amount of money. For the MAXTAC, 3 soldiers with top shelf cyberware, ICE and gear : the cyberware probably doesn't cost MAXTAC anything, as they are ex cyberpsychos so all their cyberware was already installed (see Jinguji secret conversation with MAXTAC officer). The ICE is probably replicable but the patent costs to keep up so I think it's discountable. However, the gear is pretty costly, the Militech Achilles costs in the ballpark of 25k each and i imagine that the uniform is pretty costly as well. That being said, i don't quite remember, were 2 AVs destroyed? Or just the Trauma Team one?
That being said, overall it was costly, but surprisingly not that bad, oh and a dozen Lexingtons for the police officers, but again, cheap
Not even a good point trauma has a job. Once their client dies their job is over. If im at work as a dishwasher and the kitchen gets backed up its not really my job to help.
@@ralcogaming7674this is more like seeing the police trying to apprehend a armed crack head and then turning around because why would you get involved ?
@@screamingseal4805 also accurate I don't think I've ever seen EMTs to try to help apprehend crackheads
@@ralcogaming7674 true although most the time EMTs aren’t carrying enough fire power to bring down 10 crackheads…
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.🐱
🐱
Came saving your life armed to the teeth and WILL blow through everything to do it. Meat, Chrome and Stone
The only way to show how expensive that would be is with the closest equivelent of Life Flight and that cost around $25,000 per. The helicopter alone will burn anywhere from 55 to 110 gallons of fuel per hour operation and they're not gonna pro rate a 20 min round trip either. Then you need two certified helicopter pilots who arent gonna fly for $20 an hour. Then you need the actual medics.
That's the whole point though because cyberpunk as a genre is essentially this is what capitalism could be like at its worst. So in that world of course emergency response teams would charge for every minute detail. Just look at if you have to call an ambulance to your house most people will just drive themselves to the hospital because an ambulance itself costs like $800 not to mention if they have to do anything while you're on the way. Which is what this " trauma team" is trying to represent in the most dramatized way.
donno man, non millionaires being able to afford even a basic service of armed team + ambulance who would risk life and limb to save you and fly you to the hospital... sounds pretty darn good.
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.

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").

@@gwailo1056 that’s exactly what they remind me
Most armies has them, its called CSAR Unit (Combat search and rescue). Trauma Team probably got inspiration from them since their main job is to rescue personel in hostile environtment usually with a helicopter for easy manuverability.
Trauma Team is basically a CSAR Unit for Civillian.
Thing is, that concept already exists.
That's what night city
When both Max-Tac and Trauma Team show up in the playing field, you know that the playing just got rough.
Cyberpunk 2077 players do not have to worry lol...
Trauma are equipped, but they're not an actual swat team. Max-Tac would shred them if they were ordered to for some reason
@kikosawa I mean, Trauma Team's job is to get their patient to safety no matter what. MaxTac are apex predators sure, but let's not underestimate the medical team formed just to go into battle zones and take their patient no matter what
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.
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
Why do people forget about the TTRPG Cyberpunk Red?
For the same reason no one cares about dnd. Its niche.
You think since balders gate 3 came out people care about dnd? Not really.
Just be realistic dude. Only very few people care about tabletop @@citizenvulpes4562
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.
Yep. No such thing as trying to save lives for the Trauma Team, just saving a source of money. Just like any other corporation, they don't care about people.
But hey, at least they will save you no matter what. If you can afford it.
Well you don't expect emt to help cops take a hostile
@@JammesJack-td6gv You also don't expect EMT to be a paramilitary organization with better weapons and training than the cops
@@andreiriboli to be fair, people dont care about corporation, they care about their service. just like how corporations only care about money
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 😂
Much like the Ambulance mini game in GTA but not being part of main story.
What could be even better is that after a number of saves your character gets a permanent boost in health, also, when you character dies in battle (or misadventure) TT can save but it’ll have a cool down tho.
That wouldn't really make sense for V's story though. V wants to be the best merc in Night City and save their own life from the Relic. The whole concept was that V is supposed to be racing against time.
It makes no sense whatsoever that V would waste time joining Trauma Team or NCPD or MaxTac or whatever for GTA-style minigames in Cyberpunk 2077.
Doing the current gigs and side jobs make some sense since those are merc jobs and V is doing that to become the best merc in Night City.
At most V should be able to join one of the gangs and do side jobs/gigs as merc for them. But even then it would be tough to make sense in the game. Say you join Tyger Claws, Maelstrom or VDB. How should the story justify you killing these guys in other missions?
@@gerhardaryawardana72 that’s why it conflicts with the story structure, if lets say the whole plot point of the Relic, was different or gave you more time, or we could have gotten the relic at the end of the game to kick off the ticking time bomb, instead of it starting at the beginning.
With all that said cyberpunk 2077 is really a wasted potential, so much could have been achieved but this is the product we got. A wasted potential.
@@gerhardaryawardana72 it doesn't only have to be this cyberpunk, Next game that comes out like GTARP idc how they would do multiplayer or coop. but it doesnt have to be about V.

Who knows, people might want that enough in time for them to implement more joinable groups in that cyberpunk Orion thing.
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.
@@PiemanPerkins the economy doesn’t seem the same as the real world. A high tier car is only 100,000 eddys, while an orange is 5 eddys and a drink from a vending machine max 3 eddys, a high tier legendary gun is around 5,000 Eddys and these aren’t regular guns as in the real world so it can be understandable that a top 10% weapon costs that much when you can get a plastic vending machine gun for 100 Eddys I think. Yet more people are poor and their poor reality seems more like the slums of Philly. Whatever their economy is, no one is getting paid or even enough it seems, it seems bizarre how everything is cheap yet everyone is down bad POOR
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 was a Combat Medic in the Army and I love these guys. I would love to play as part of trauma team
Yes that is the one aspect of cyberpunk I wish we got to see more of. Trauma Team, Maxtac, maybe if we could even play the one good corpo/police officer like in Deus Ex. Thank you for your service

Honestly, me and a friend were thinking, but playing as trauma team would be a perfect multiplayer co-op game mode for cyberpunk. You could play as trauma team in a squad, fighting through sickos and gangsters to save your client. Customize your trauma team agent, different guns, armor, weapons, load out, fight through a wide array of enemies and situations and recover your guy, die trying, or cut your losses and bolt
This is a great idea. and with a completely ruthless system that allows your patients to get killed if you fail...and you incur no penalties or mission failed from it. Just part of the job. Do better next time.
@@royaltoadclub8322 Yeah. At most? A dock in your pay. Want the full cut? Do your job properly.
Seems great idea for next CP sequel(s). You can apply for work in Trauma Team to do some missions and get some benefit from that.
This is an amazing idea actually. Really good gameplay loop built in right off the bat. Could make it more roguelike too.
Trauma Team, despite its unethical downsides, is my favorite corporation in the game.
There are no good corpos. It's the rule of the market at this point: either you stomp and strangle or you quit and die. Both inside the corporation and outside of it.
The best of the worst
What about Metacorp?
Favourite? More like least hated perhaps
A Cyberpunk spinoff where you play as the trauma team defending and saving clients would be sick
I see wut u did there😂
@Slaking_ make it bodycam, too.
Someone should make a mod for cyberpunk that allows you to get a trauma team membership to avoid the death screen
game has a clock and can track the time passed - no reason it couldn't take a set number of eddies each in-game month based on your selected plan
V probably doesn't want cyberware with explicit tracking of them enabled.
@@besNait Eh, I don't see why not. As long as you're paying, Trauma Team doesn't give a fuck about who you are or what you do. If you pay for their services, they will save you no matter the cost.
The only downside I see for V, if they had Trauma Team, is that someone really rich or another corp could bribe TT to give them access to your location, etc. That is, assuming TT even takes bribes, seeing as they probably would get paid a lot more by keeping a wealthy client. But seeing as tracking V is already possible for really good 'runners/powerful people, I don't think it would make much of a difference.
That just sounds like second heart, with extra payments.
@@addisonvaughan99that’s exactly what it is, or the rising phoenix mod..
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
Trauma Team had no coverage for the damage we received from watching Cyberpunk Edgerunners
If only nanomachines can harden in response to psychological trauma... Wait, wrong cyberpunk
Emotional damage!
They can actually redact memories to reduce psychological trauma.
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
Yeah, there shouldve been more missions with Jackie involving more Maxtac and Trauma team encounters instead of the six month montage. Player would bond with Jackie more while learning more about the team and the maxtac imo. The big heist is too soon into the game.
100% agreed. I play as a good aligned character in this game (and did so in the tabletop version long ago), but sadly per Mr. Pondsmith himself the Cyberpunk universe is inherently a crap-sack world where there can be no good endings, which is a thematic element that CDPR carried out in the game. Even the "good" ending (the Nomad ending) is bittersweet, since regardless of any choices or efforts on your part as a player, Night City kills V in the end because the story is the story regardless of what you do.
@@snarkywriter1317 personally really liked the Arasaka ending where you give them your soul. And the suicide ending where you just end it. Seemed fitting for a dystopian future.
Also the end credits with that one is rather sad.
Glad they did gave us a choice in the endings tho.
You can do this now...
This franchise started as and will always be tabletop.
Cyberpunk Red is a simple system and yes, you and some friends can play as Trauma Team going out on calls.
There is even a splat book for 2077 being released this year.
@@LordofSyn I have no friends that are interested into tabletop.
In general where I live it isnt that big. Let alone cyberpunk themed sadly
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.
I've been playing and running Cyberpunk since 1st edition. I promise you that some of the most fun adventures were the ones where the troupe portrayed TTI and went out on calls.
Those were also some of the most harrowing games too because with a good group of players , you can touch on some very dark topics. It can be cathartic to run through. I don't have any regrets and would do it again.
Trauma Team got to be one of the coolest ideas i seen in games
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
They do have high turnover rate, often self-inflicted by the personnel due to all the stress. The ones that do survive and persevere become cold and task-focused.
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'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.
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
Figured since you covered the Merc group you would cover the Medical group. Keep up the awesome work
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.
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
….. what? Am I going to go down a rabbit hole about fire stations now?!!
You're thinking of a very specific time in the early Roman Republic. Sometimes they'd go to an active fire and ask for a lot of money. If they said no they would come back to buy the place for cheap after everything burnt down
@@ThatOliveMrT This was absolutely a phenomenon in the US during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It's why we have such a strong culture of public, volunteer fire departments today. In fact, it was worse. They wouldn't just charge you protection, they'd come to put out your fire and then extort you afterwards. If two fire departments went to put out the same fire, they'd fight each other in the street to determine who got to put out the fire.
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
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.
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.
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
Honestly, medics that can clear and secure a scene would be incredible as there'd be no need to wait for police to respond.
Trauma team's combo of paramedic and military is fascinating and should definetly see more screen time in the game.
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.
I love your CyberPunk lore videos.
Damn right they are expensive. You are paying to have delta force show up in a flying emergency room gunship 30 seconds after you flatline, reach into Hell to rip your screaming soul back and slap it into your still warm body. Well worth the price.
Basically healer mains thats had enough of the stoopid teammates not listening and kept drying.
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 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.
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
Max Tac and Trauma Team need each other and should always work together. Can’t save anyone if the scene’s not safe and secure. Losing medics like that just because nobody neutralized/eliminated the threat is unacceptable. I’m surprised the company even sustained itself. At least the real world SWAT would not throw EMTs to the slaughter like this. But what do I know…
@SLEDGEHORN to be fair the EMTs in cyberpunk are kitted out in swat gear themselves...
MaxTac or C-SWAT is a municipal agency, while Trauma Team is a private company.
“Trauma Team. My girlfriend broke up with me.”

And that pistol casing Was front and center
Leaving us to believe that Nadia got her vengeance, but got gunned down for her troubles

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!
Some corpo gonk just got flatlined
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.
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.
They're arguably as benevolent as a corp can be in this world.
Bloody hell this was fantastic coverage, thank you so much for such an in-depth and well put together look at Trauma Team!
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 TH-cam about Night City. Thanks again!!!
Only 100s-1000s of dollars per month? That’s literally a 90-99% decrease in costs compared to US healthcare
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!
I hope the next Edge runners anime is about trauma team tbh, so much potential for a exciting and wild drug rush, medical drama type action anime. Especially if the protagonist starts Trauma team then turns Edge Runner like Maria Martinez, that would be seriously sick chooms
I think Cyberpunk shouldve done a version of a fire department ingame. Cops had Maxtech and medics had Trauma Team.
Just saying... it would be super cool to have Trauma Team coverage.. and they come to save your ass if you flatline. Be another excellent way to tour some parts of MedCenter. If I remember the Pen and Paper game the Silver Slashes guarded the Metro area and the surrounding neighborhood of Trauma Center. The MedCenter housed the Trauma Team I believe on the upper/parts of the floors where all the AVs would come and go. There were various Ambulance entrances, and an entry to the Crisis/Trauma part of the Hospital (Non-Trauma Team), I believe there was a large cafeteria and a park inside as well. The NCART service was huge in this area, hence the Silver Slashes to defend against unwanted predators.
Also, I think the blue/blue-trimmed buildings near Trauma Center were the actual Medical Building offices. At least in Pen and Paper, they were on the outskirts of the Trauma Center. I believe the #11 building is reserved for Medical staff etc. Could be wrong though.
Honestly, Trauma Team is a really kickass name for battle medics.
One thing I love about your channel is that you wait until the end to do all your advertisements and shout outs to consideration that most TH-camrs need to learn
With the way Califronia and Illinois are looking, these trauma teams might become a new market soon. Hope that I'm gonna finish university before it becomes a thing
Doesn't Detriot already have a private security company that works alongside police? Imagine US police getting replaced by Google or Amazon security forces.
@@AsymmetricalCrimes a better world that's for sure
@@GLASSMOSCOWANDBEIJING That is literally EXACTLY the world Cyberpunk is warning against. Literally the WHOLE point of Cyberpunk is "It would suck massive balls if things were this bad".
@@zacharylandes5109 my guy, show me an actually realistic depiction of a corporate ruled universe. Cyberpunk, Blade Runner and Detroit become human never actually did that. It essentially boils down to "automation happens, nobody works, everybody poor", but if it actually was like that then how the f**k would these corporations make money? If everybody is poor and unemployed because of full automation then who is gonna be buying their products/services. You usually make the most because of government contracts and the general populace
@@GLASSMOSCOWANDBEIJING My guy, the whole point of the entire genre is literally that it would suck if it got to that point. Cyberpunk isn't "Robots have replaced everyone and automation happens" it's "Megacorporations go so unchecked that they're fully allowed to govern themselves and entire cities/countries because of their global economic influence, often leading to the death of many of the world's most vulnerable groups like the poor and working class". A majority of the people in those universes *are* working, and they can still barely afford to survive. That's the point. It's almost like there's a PUNK in CyberPUNK. Jesus Christ.
Let's not forget that the entirety of Edgerunners was caused cuz Trauma Team doesn't give their EMTs healthcare coverage
So I know it’s supposed to be dystopian where they don’t treat you if you don’t have insurance, but it’s better than what the current American system is where they treat you involuntarily and then enslave you when you can’t pay for it
0:09 Why is there a poster for The Passion Of The Christ on the left 😂
@@Wifgargfhaurh there's a quest about an actor who stars in the in-universe movie, its a good quest!
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!
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
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.
And TT just cuts out the middle man and arm sthe medics
@@TonyTylerDraws I think in the squad 2 are combat oriented (with rifles/smg) and the other 2 are paramedics (with handguns).
I know it's been 7 months but they're basically TEMS or TCCC
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?
If you have the PC version, someone made a mod on Nexus that allows you to "work" with Trauma Team on missions. Though, last I saw it is a bit barebones.
Holy shit! You are an excellent Reader, you brought this to a rich & lasting life.
I’m replaying the game now, and this has given the experience a bit of extra color. Thank you, be well…
I think i’ve watched this about 4 times now, and it is still as intriguing as the first time. I have no connection to your channel nor to Cyperpunk yet still this video was recommended to me when it came out, and I still love it! Idk what it is about it, but the video keeps me coming back, even a year later.
I enjoyed how you done the intro as an advertisement for Trauma Team, neat little idea there. Enjoyed this video, I don't play Cyberpunk but a friend kinda got me into the general universe and lore.
Same
Damn, after hearing her story I hoped she’d live and be in the second cyber punk
Who
Nadia died at the end the finale panel you can see one shell from a pistol and several shells from rifles hitting the ground
Yeah. I get, “there’s no happy endings in Cyberpunk” but some of the stories really give off, “oops, almost forgot to kill everyone” energy. And the tragedy ends up feeling shoehorned in.
that because you watched the video not the comic without the video itself
Love All the Cyberpunk Lore this shit makes my day!
"feels like platinum"
Preem video choom ❤
The trauma team is just like sci Fi real life insurance. The critique in this world is not subtle but it is very much appreciated
Wealth in 2023: Having a home.
Wealth in 2077: Having the premium Trauma Team subscription
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
I kind of like Trauma Team from a conceptual standpoint. Imagine how many lives could be saved if a paramedic could go in and provide first aid/triage without the police needing to secure the scene.
I love the concept of Trauma Team and the comic did such a great job of exploring just how grey the area they operate in is
Buys the most expensive deal.
Storms arasaka tower.
Now they have to save my ass whem smasher gets me
Hind sight 2024 looking at our current state of healthcare I’d rather pay an arm and a leg (pun intended) for the special ops of paramedics than a modern healthcare bill that stems from subpar service.
Who's here after to learn more after Amazon announced their medical membership?
Can't forget the scene of Trauma team refusing to help Gloria and David
I love how this video is an in universe explanation
