Revision as of 07:00, 1 November 2011
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 mercenary bodyguards. This can lead one to think that she is a traveling merchant.
One of her bodyguards remarks "between you and me, I don't think she studied at an accredited institution", which is probably true, seeing as she says things like, "What are the chances I'll botch the same procedure twice in one day?" when asked for medical assistance.
The other bodyguard will remark, "She hasn't paid me anything yet; should I be worried?".

Notes
- When requesting to buy medical supplies from Dr. Straus she will exclaim, "Yeah, and I need sterile medical supplies."
- When requesting to be cured from an addiction Dr. Straus will reply "Hey, pipe down, we can't talk about that here in the open" quickly followed by "Oh, you want to get rid of an addiction, oh".
- She's the only doctor in the Wasteland that sells medical supplies and some addictive chems, like psycho, at the same time.
- If you have 'Wild Child' reputation in Novac, Ada remarks that "it's great for business" and to "keep it up". She will also provide a discount on her services.
- A humorous (while not exactly surprising) side note is that she does not even have medicine as a tag skill.
- Killing her doesn't drop your Karma. Killing her bodyguards lowers your Karma, however.
Appearances
Ada Straus appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
- Dr. Ada Straus may be a reference to Flowers for Algernon, a Daniel Keyes novel with a doctor of the same name.
