==General Information==
Randall Gemma is one of the Chiefs of Medicine working for the San Andreas Medical Authority, operating out of Mt. Zonah Medical Center. He also runs the Los Santos Exercise Club. 
==Physical Description==
Randall has blonde hair and blue eyes, and usually has a short cropped blonde beard. He works out daily, giving him a fit and athletic build. 
==Background Information==
Born in Seattle to an American father and a British mother, Randall's parents were military scientists so he grew up moving around a lot between different military bases all over the world, spending most of his childhood being home-schooled. When he was 9, he witnessed a training accident that led to the death of a cadet, but the death never made sense to Randall - he didn't understand why a bullet to the shoulder would cause the man to die the way he did. This led him down a months long path sneaking around the base he was on at the time, snooping at medical records and trying to find out what actually happened. He eventually deduced that the man had died from an allergic reaction, not the bullet itself. The endeavour led to his love of medicine and his desire to become a doctor, something he would be focused on for the rest of his life.
Getting his high school diploma at 16, he got into Columbia University and did both Biology and Chemistry degrees, and then joined Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons after graduating at 19. He got his M.D. at 24 while also training as an Immunologist, and did his Fellowship at Columbia University Irving Medical Center where he completed his Immunology qualifications. 
He joined Doctors Without Borders at 27 to escape some extreme hardships in his life, and spent 2 years travelling around Africa before being captured by a Warlord in the Congo and held prisoner for 3 years, forced to work as a doctor in the warlord's compound. He was eventually rescued during a military action against the compound, and returned to New York. 
He spent the next 5 years working in various medical research centres, getting his PhD in Experimental Medicine and doing numerous rotations in Emergency Rooms and with Emergency Responders throughout the city. Eventually the predictable routine of his life began to wear on him, and when the city of Los Santos was re-opened and the opportunity to move there and help build something new came up, and jumped at it immediately.
