Sawbones (Fallout 3)

Sawbones is a Mr. Gutsy working as a doctor in The Citadel. He can be found in the B-Ring and offers the same services that all the other wasteland doctors offer.

His terminal, which requires 100 Science to hack, contains a poem of his composition. It also appears that Paladin Glade has hacked his terminal before, and wants Sawbones to change his password.

Unmarked quest: Worst. Doctor. Ever
When you first interact with him, you can ask to be healed, in which he malfunctions and ends up hurting your player character. After the mishap, a new dialogue option opens up and (if your PC has a high enough Science skill) you can repair his malfunction through dialogue choices to receive some free healing. He will also comment to the player about fixing the malfunction, calling them an 'asshole', giving the assumption that he's not interested in healing, but harming.

Trivia

 * "Sawbones" is a historical slang term for a surgeon, dating back to the early 19th century.
