4. "Injuries with Consequences" Protocol
Instead of fully healing all injuries, EMS could roleplay partial recovery for severe injuries. For example:
Gunshot victims might require extended care or follow-up visits to the hospital.
This encourages deeper, ongoing medical roleplay.
5. Emergency Response Tier System
Introduce a tiered system for EMS responses:
Tier 1: Minor injuries (e.g., slips, cuts, low-priority calls).
Tier 2: Moderate injuries (e.g., car accidents, fights).
Tier 3: Critical situations (e.g., mass casualties, shootings).
This system can help EMS staff prioritize and organize their responses effectively.
6. Advanced Equipment for Unique Scenarios
Provide EMS staff with unique equipment for specific emergencies.
Air Evac Helicopters
For hard-to-reach patients in mountains or on islands.
7. Player Health History Tracking
EMS could roleplay keeping track of players' medical histories. For example:
Record recurring issues like old injuries or chronic conditions.
Offer incentives for players to roleplay getting follow-ups, like health boosts or free checkups.
8. Post-Treatment Payment Options
Instead of treating for free, players could be billed (in-game currency) for services unless they have an "insurance policy."
Introduce a Health Insurance Program where players can pay a weekly premium for free EMS treatment.
No insurance? Players must pay for treatment or roleplay a "payment plan."
9. Disaster Response Teams

10. On-Duty Fitness and Training
EMS personnel should maintain their physical fitness and complete mandatory training during downtime:
Roleplay scenarios where EMS staff train for rescue operations or practice simulations.
Use gyms or training centers for roleplay fitness drills.

Expand hospital involvement with:
Surgical Scenarios: For severe injuries requiring extended treatment.
Hospital Stays: Patients with life-threatening conditions must roleplay recovery in the hospital for a set period.
12. After-Hours Calls

13. Unique Emergency Call Triggers
Incorporate server-specific features like:
Street Racing Injuries: Responding to racers who crash or spectators hurt during illegal events.
14. Psychological Support Unit (PSU)
Create a unit focused on mental health crises. Scenarios could include:
