Professional Healers Association
The Professional Healers Association (PHA) is a group of Empaths who charge for their services as healers. The PHA also has a standard rate for shifting services.
Location
In The Crossing, PHA Empaths normally work in the Dispensary, which is located on Via Mandroga. (The decision not to use the Empaths' Guild was motivated in part by the desire to minimize conflicts with other Empaths.)
Directions: From the outside of the Empaths' Guild, go east, north, and through the hospital backdoor.
Pricing
Prices are based on the number, location, and severity of wounds. The Empath may choose to deviate from the standard rate.
Young adventurers receive a discounted rate of one third of the normal price. (Empaths have the discretion to charge the standard rate if it appears that a young adventurer is supported by a wealthy relative or friend.)
Corpses may be charged double the rate to compensate for the increased risk to the Empath's health.
Triage Exception
Most members do not charge for their services during triage. They consider this to be their contribution to the war effort.
Interactions With Others
The PHA has not authorized anyone, including the Goose family, to act on its behalf. At this time, the PHA has no plans to use "friends" or "enforcers."
