Spawns a man in a lab coat, a blue undershirt, a ridiculous tie, and different hairstyles and faces depending on the bodygroup.
The scientist has 20 HP and will heal by 25 HP the entity they follow (mostly players) with a syringe assuming the latter has less than half of it's maximum health (50 HP for players) and the distance between them is less than 128 Hammer units. There is a "cooldown" of one minute before the scientist can use his syringe again. Those applies to all difficulties.
