What do I do here? You're in a hospital. I'm wearing a doctor's coat. I'm covered with blood. There are sharp, pointy things lying all around. Either I'm a successful killer or a fair doctor. Take your pick.

Doc Holliday is the doctor for Broken Hills in Fallout 2.
A Broken Hills native born around 2170,[1] Holliday spent his teens wandering the wasteland. During his travels he met his wife, but became a widower when she died of sickness. He traveled to San Francisco and studied under the Chinese doctor there, Dr Fung, who taught him everything he knows about medicine on top of some wisdom.[2]
He returned to Broken Hills years later, just in time to witness Marcus build the town up from the shanties Holliday grew up in. In appearance, he's a wizened old man, usually working in a slightly bloody doctor's coat. He radiates an air of knowledge, but seems slightly sickly; a trait not uncommon among old, yet spirited people.

↑Holliday: "{174}{}{That's right. I'm a doctor. Good to see that intelligence is alive and well in the post-nuclear world.}" The Chosen One: "{175}{}{Ha! And it's kicking around inside the body of a 70-year-old man!}" (HcDOC.msg)
↑The Chosen One: "{109}{}{Tell me about the town.}" Holliday: "{123}{}{Let’s see. I was born here years ago. Place was just getting started. I picked up when I was a teen and tooled around the place for a while. Met a woman. Fell in love. She died of sickness. I decided then that I was going to become a doctor.}" The Chosen One: "{124}{}{Yeah? Go on.}" Holliday: "{206}{}{So then I traveled to San Francisco and studied under the Chinese there… an old gentleman by the name of Mr. Fung taught me everything I know about medicine. He also taught me some wisdom.}" The Chosen One: "{207}{}{So then what happened?}" Holliday: "{212}{}{Then, I came back here and watched Marcus build the town from the shanties I remember from my youth into the "sprawling metropolis" you see before you. I saw people attracted by promises of wealth. I saw people grow up and die. I saw the currents of history.}" The Chosen One: "{213}{}{So that means…}" Holliday: "{214}{}{That means that I don’t know most of the new people these days. Most of my memories are just that -- memories.}" The Chosen One: "{215}{}{Oh. Well, thanks for the story.}" Holliday: "{217}{}{No, thank you for listening to me ramble. Next time you’re here and need healing, it’s on the house.}" (HcDOC.msg)
