Dean Volkert

Dean Volkert (username Volkert.D) is a scientist in the Institute in Fallout 4.

Background
He is a physician for the Institute and provides medical services. His services are free of charge and can only be used when the player character is wounded or irradiated. He is responsible for maintaining the health of the people within The Institute, though this leaves him at odds with other members of staff. Dr. Volkert is also involved in the testing of compounds on an Institute worker, using them as live test subjects.

Appearances
Dean Volkert appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs

 * The healing service he provides does not cure addictions.
 * Like every other physician, he provides healing up to one's maximum Hit Points minus one point.
 * After the quest A House Divided, he will no longer offer his services and ignore the player character when interacting with him. To fix this, he must be forced into combat, this will refresh his AI. This bug also causes him to be stuck on his terminal and interacting with the terminal won't force him off it.
