Thanks to bionics being illegal to the public in many places, bionic augmentation has gone underground and is often available only through underworld sources like the Black Market and independent entrepreneurs. This means there are seldom any industry standards for quality, and the buyer gets whatever service and quality are available. Consequently, many are the horror stories of bionic Body-Chop-Shops that are more like butcher shops, and which earn the profession of Cyber-Doc a bad reputation.

In the broadest sense of the word, a Cyber-Doc is any doctor, surgeon, or scientist who specializes in cybernetics and/or bionics. However, the term "Cyber-Doc" has come to refer to the notorious underworld figure found in the Down Side, 'Burbs, and underworld of most cities. A character who is often seen as a self-serving illegal doctor who works outside the law for his own profit. Excerpted from Rifts® Bionics Sourcebook, copyright 2002 Palladium Books Inc.
