Straus Calls



Straus Calls is an unmarked quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Detailed walkthrough
When heavily wounded or irradiated, it is always a good idea to visit a doctor for quick recovery. If you're short on caps, find doctor Ada Straus at Novac. She has cheaper rates than the average doctor: 50 caps to remove addiction, flush radiation, or recuperate from injury. If you go through all services in one conversation, the price can come down to 40 caps.

She also sells numerous items: average medical supplies, addictive chems (most doctors don't carry these), laser pistols, and energy cells. She also carries a few components for mass purified water, such as dirty water and glass pitchers. This may prove useful, as Novac doesn't have a clean water source.

Behind the scenes
The name of the quest is a play on the phrase "house calls," which are visits a doctor makes to a patient's home in order to treat them.
