Dr. Ada Straus

 is a somewhat hapless doctor living in the town of Novac in 2281.

Background
Dr. Straus can be found either outside her medical tent/portable clinic by a stationary pack brahmin or wandering the area in the company of two bodyguards. This can lead one to think that she is a travelling merchant.

One of her bodyguards remarks that he doubts that "Doctor" Straus actually had any formal medical training, probably true, seeing as she says things like, "What are the chances I'll botch the same procedure twice in one day?" when asked for medical assistance.

Interactions with the player character
When requesting to buy medical supplies from Dr. Straus she will exclaim, "And I wish I had sterile medical supplies."

Appearances
