AFD members are prohibited from entering contested cartels. So we can never go there even if you request a medic. Pretty sure the only reason we're not allowed to go there is because CIVS didn't like the impact medics were having on cartel fights. People reviving friends, associates, gang mates, not very fair.
Would be cool if the AFD could make a new policy around cartels, have a 1 life rule and only 2 medics can enter 1 for each gang involved in the cartel.
