Using A Doctor To Cure Lung Damage In Starfield

You can also go to the doctor in Starfield and pay credits to cure all afflictions. We recommend the doctor at the Reliant Medical center in New Atlantis. This place can be found at the far end of the Residential District, just past the Elite Clothing shop.

Go inside and talk to the doctor to receive medical treatment for a sum of credits, depending on how badly you are injured. The Doctor can be found through the set of doors in the clinic. Just walk in and talk to the doctor in order to receive your treatment.

While this fix takes longer because you have to go back to New Atlantis, it’s at least a consistent way to heal Lung Damage if you don’t have any Injectors or Snake Oil on you.

That is everything you need to know about how to cure Lung Damage in Starfield.
