Bitter Springs Infirmary Blues

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
Bitter Spring is in a bad shape. They lack of medical supplements. The field medic, Lieutenant Markland asks you to deliver some supplies to be able to save more lives.

He wants you to get 3 Doctor's Bags, and two books, one on pediatric medicine and another on child psychology.

You can buy the books and the bags at New Vegas in the Crimson Caravans Company camp. Search for a guy called Blake at DAY TIME! If you wake him up at night, in the barracks, he wont have the books with him.

You have to invest some caps (~50-100 depends on your barter) to have the books. And cc. 80/each for the Doc's Bags. They called:

Stress and a Modern Refugee: A Primer

Tiny, Tiny Babies: All You Need To Know About Pediatric Medicines

in the Misc. category.

Head back with the stuff to Lieutenant Markland.

You receive 200xp and NCR reputation. After the quest, you are given three options. The first is to not request a reward, this gives you good Karma. The second is to ask for some surplus medical supplies, this earns you 2 Stimpacks, 4 Rad-X, 2 RadAway, and no change in Karma. The third is to ask for surplus supplies and compensation for buying the books. You receive the same reward of supplies as the second option, in addition to 40 caps. You can ask for more caps and you will receive an additional 100 along with negative Karma.

Only possible problem in this quest is the distance you have to travel if you don't have the Caravan Marker visited yet.

Take care of the Deathclaws if you come from the Bitter Spring direction, they can rape you on low level!
