BODY-PART INJURIES
The medical systems track damage to different parts of the body. Injuries can affect movement and lead to blackouts; immediate healing is not the same as treating every underlying injury. Use /vitals to inspect your condition.
GET HELP
Contact EMS with /911 and give your location and situation. Responders can revive, treat and move patients. If another player is helping, the interaction menu includes carrying and vehicle-assistance actions. Calling services.
HOSPITAL CHECK-IN AND FOLLOW-UP
Hospital check-in points are available at Pillbox, Sandy Shores and Paleto. Approach reception and use the check-in prompt. When EMS is available, checking in alerts them to the hospital where you need help. With no EMS available, the automated service looks for a free bed.
Wait through the bed treatment. Completion restores health and clears the hospital bleeding and limb-damage states, then records medical charges based on injuries.
The separate immediate-care doctor is a different service and explicitly tells you to follow up for broken bones. If you still have symptoms after immediate care, check /vitals and ask EMS for the corresponding treatment. Do not assume that a full health bar means every injury record is clear.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT MEDICAL SUPPLY
Medical items have different in-game effects. Use the item from your inventory while conscious and allow the treatment animation to finish. Applying one treatment does not necessarily clear the other kinds of damage.
| Item | Use time | Purpose in game |
|---|---|---|
| Gauze | 3 seconds | Stops the hospital bleeding status |
| Bandage | 5 seconds | Restores a small amount of health |
| First-aid kit | 10 seconds | Restores the health bar |
| Med-kit | 20 seconds | Field treatment for damaged limbs |
| Leg brace / arm brace / neck brace | Treatment animation | Treats the corresponding body region |
| Body bandage | Treatment animation | Treats body-region injuries |
Vicodin, hydrocodone and morphine supply pain relief through the injury system. Pain relief and health recovery are separate from checking and treating the underlying injury. Recheck /vitals and seek EMS care if movement or other symptoms remain.
WHEELCHAIRS AND PATIENT MOVEMENT
Use a wheelchair item to place the chair. At a supported wheelchair or trolley, E starts pushing and R takes a seat. Use the movement controls to move it, and X to stop your current chair interaction.
/pickup packs up supported nearby equipment when its conditions allow. Do not pack up a chair someone is still using. For ambulance stretchers, use the separate stretcher commands; chair controls and stretcher loading are different systems.
GRANDMA'S HOUSE: UNDERGROUND MEDICAL CARE
Grandma's House offers underground medical treatment for unconscious players away from the city hospital. Its location is secret. It gives criminals an alternative to seeking help through regular EMS, and the treatment itself does not send a police alert.
Bring the unconscious person to Grandma's House and keep them within five metres before choosing Operate. Treatment costs $1,000, paid from cash first or your bank balance if needed. Stay with the patient through the 30-second operation and the CPR that follows to revive them.
