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.

One of the computer terminals inside Vault 19 contains a log making reference to the vault doctor having bodyguards. It is possible that may be where Dr. Straus and her bodyguards came from.

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
