Basic Info:

  • Excellent place to find first aid kits. Zombies frequently check inside.
  • Portable Generators have a use other than powering the lights and increasing search probability in hospitals. Players with the Surgery Skill can heal for 15 HP if the Hospital has a fueled up Generator.
  • Hospitals can be barricaded normally.
  • Among the internal descriptions found in Hospitals:
    • "...its wards and corridors blackened with the soot of a recent fire"
    • "...its empty wards criss-crossed with snapped quarantine tape."
    • "...one of the city's psychiatric hospitals."
    • "...dark corridors leading through abandoned wards."
    • "...its emergency room in disarray."
    • "...its lobby covered with quarantine posters."
    • "...a children's hospital with bright murals across the walls. "
    • "The main lobby is riddled with bullet holes."
    • "It was one of the last to be evacuated, and seems to have been cleared out in a hurry."
    • "...a derelict hospital that was closed down years ago."

St. Elisabeth's Hospital

Description

St Lizzy's. Come for the maternity ward, stay for the mortuary!

This hospital is one of three hospitals in Pegton, collectively known as Pegton's Healing Plaza. St Lizzy's is an austere, forbidding brick building with ranks of windows staring expressionlessly across the lowlands of eastern Pegton.

History

St Lizzy's was founded in the 1820s to cope with the population boom of nor'easterners, who seemed "quite incapable of keeping their John Thomases inside their britches, or crossing their legs to protect the sanctity of their lady-parts," according to Professor Netherwick Copperfeel, the noted Victorian columnist for the Pegton Post.

The hospital was intended to reduce the infant mortality rate so that a steady supply of cheap-as chips indentured labour and servants could be maintained for the upper-class households in the west of the suburb; plenty of live births were required as the nature of chimney-sweeping and factory work in the early Industrial Age, not to mention their unpromising living conditions, meant that east Pegton's children did not, sadly, enjoy a long life expectancy even if they survived childbirth.

As a result, a first-rate mortuary was added to St Lizzy's shortly afterwards, and came to form by far the largest wing of the hospital.
