Dr. Steinman's Aesthetic Ideals

Dr. Steinman's Aesthetic Ideals is a surgery based business, that specializes in cosmetic surgery.

History
When Andrew Ryan promised of a wonderland underwater, free from phony ethics, Steinman joined him. And so, Steinman continued with his area of expertise in Rapture. He became a very wellknown citizen amongst the people of Rapture because of his efficiency.

The surgery was also equipped with a small business called Surgical Savings. When people didn't quite know how to spend their money, they could go to Surgical Savings or advice.

With the discovery of ADAM, even cosmetic surgery improved. And Steinman began to ask himself what excuse there was to stop perfection, hoping he could work with his scalpel, like Picasso worked with his brush. Steinman enhanced his own feature as well, but became insane and delusional in the process. He began to see hallucinations of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty. And with encouragement of his new muse, he began to experiment with his patients, sculping them, as it were. Instead of helping them, he recreated their appearance to his likings.

BioShock
When Jack throws the emergency switch, the area locks down, and he is required to get the key from Steinman to release the lockdown. After he chased Steinman into his surgery, Jack finds him working on a "patient". Steinman claims to fail in his work, with the three former victims being too fat, too tall and too symmetrical. All the while, stabbing the drugged victim. After he discovers Jack, he attacks him and Jack is forced to defend himself. He manages to kill Steinman and retrieve the key. With the lockdown removed, Jack is able to go to Neptune's Bounty.
