Edmund General United

EDMUND GENERAL UNITED Edmund General United Abbreviation: EDU Group Numbers: Somewhere around a dozen souls Leadership: Elingold - Chief Administrator Goals: To keep Edmund General in Grigg Heights open for patients day or night and to support any and all who fight the zombie hordes Recruitment Policy: Simply join up if you are near Edmund in Griggs and want to help out Contact: Elingold, Doc Smithsfieldsoner Welcome to Edmund General Hospital of North West Grigg Heights This is not the end. Several years ago, the zombies entered our city. They came not as friends and equals, though we would gladly have welcomed them as such (had they not been so ugly), but as thieves and conquerors. They saw a city at peace and mistook the strength of our convictions for frailty of arms, the wisdom of compromise for the timidity of cowards. They attacked without provocation or mercy, slaying many of our citizens, terrorizing entire suburbs, and sacrificing hundreds of beings to appease their bloodlust. They believed we would be easily defeated, because they believed we would yield without a fight. They were wrong. We have fought at Grigg Heights, Starlingtown, Ruddlebank, EdgeCombe, and Molebank – we have fought them every leg of the way from the outer edges into the core of the city. We have lost untold numbers of loved ones, every one of us knows someone among them, and now we are battling in the heart of Edmund General United itself. We are still fighting. Soon, the enemy will be in our faces, in our homes, already they are roaming the dark underlayers of our city. To those able to evacuate and to those trapped behind, I say the same thing I would tell my friends – were I able to reach them behind enemy lines: Keep fighting. This is not the end. Numerous times already, EGU-led forces have decimated zombie hordes, and we enter each battle with better tactics. We have prevailed against ruthless enemies before. This is a war we know how to win. Keep fighting until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more. Keep fighting. I promise you, we will prevail. Long live Edmund General United!!! - shadowofhope --Elingold 02:21, 30 March 2010 (BST) We are Edmund General United, a small yet growing group of highly trained Medical professionals dedicated to providing valued healthcare and keeping our hospital open day and night for the citizens of Grigg Heights. If a zombie's gnawed on your toe or you're feeling a bit out of sorts after a Rotter bit you in the neck, come on in! We're here to help. We are based at Edmund General Hospital in the North West area of the suburb, and we also specialise in revivification through our very own revive point, Sherring Place, located one block south of the hospital at (1,52). Our ultimate goal is to unite the 4 Edmund General Hospitals of Malton (Grigg Heights, Shearbank, Peddlesden Village, and Judgewood) into one Group. So if you're based in any of these suburbs, and wish to help us, please visit our Forum [1] or contact Doc's talk page [2] and let us know. We also have an official dedicated radio frequency of 27.30 MHz, so unless its an emergency, please keep off it! Forum & Recruitment --> Notice Board We are seeking new Interns and other professionals to join us - please fill out an application Known History Edmund General Hospital was left abandoned by other survivors for reasons unknown, with only a DEM resource message left on the wall. Some young survivors took up residence, rebuilt the emergency room and restored power to the facility (a quite charming building made of brick in the Edwardian style so famous in Grigg Heights). Surprisingly, many of the plants in the front garden were still viable, and with some hard work Edmund General was again open to help those in need within the stricken city of Malton. Things were going great. With the stalwart support of the Haddock Road Police Department Edmund General was healing many people, mentoring the newly risen to fight zombies, and training many young physicians in acute trauma care with the limited resources available. Then .. it all ended. The LUE and Extinction completely removed all life from the North West of Malton. We fought and fought but could not win and all shambled away, walking dead seeking life again in suburbs where the folk still had breath. Scattered throughout the city we did our best to aid survivors to recover territory. With valiant efforts of the The Grove, Malton Rangers, and many, many others the North West was opened up again to breathers and once again Edmund General in Grigg Heights was opened up for business. {{{xy}}} (bic) (statuses) (update) Edmund General Hospital No comments EDMUND GENERAL UNITED! This phrase was spray painted on the wall during the original siege, when all seemed lost. It remains today as a reminder of those dark days. May they never come again. But if they do, know we are ready and willing to fight for our fine hospital and for Malton. But come they did... For a period Edmund General enjoyed a brief renaissance of calm where many young medics and doctors honed their skills. The entrance and lobby festooned with paintings and sculpture rescued from local museums brightened the mood, and patients garnered prompt medical services without complaint. With the zombies seemingly pillaging elsewhere, North West Grigg Heights was safe. Until .. Until one fateful day. It was like any other day, as regular as a day could get in a zombie-infested city. Doctors and medics welcomed new patients into the hospital, giving them medical care and free lollipops. Patients left healed and refreshed, ready to start their adventures again. Then, that all changed. It started when the phones went silent. The constant beeping of cell phones suddenly ceased to be. Most assumed the generator powering the mast had simply run out, and some left the safety of the hospital to refuel it. Then communications with the Merson Buidling was lost. The survivors who went to refuel the generator returned, faces pale, baring only one word: "Zombies". Reinforcement of the Edmund Building began. Windows were boarded shut, doors barricaded, and trenchcoats dumped outside. Every preparation possible was made to defend the building in case of attack, but many still hoped that the horde would be satisfied with the destruction of the Merson Building. It was all in vain. The zombie hordes shambled north, leaving behind a trail of rubble and fresh corpses. They threw themselves upon the barricades of the Hospital, tearing them apart. The brave defenders repaired the damage done until they were too tired to stand. Then the barricades fell, and the zombies poured into the sacred halls of Edmund General Hospital. A few survivors escaped across the rooftops of the building into safety, vowing to return one day. Some perished, bodies ripped apart by zombie hands and teeth. The Diaspora had begun. Zombies come, Zombies go... ...and that appeared to be just what had happened. Days later, scouting runs into the area showed few remaining zeds. The staff assumed they'd simply moved on, in search of fresh meat. The suburb was devastated, no doubt, but absent of any large hordes. Edmund was cleared, 'caded and powered in short order. Several new members joined the staff in quick succession. Overtures were made to groups in the area, such as Techcom and the INO. But our old friends the Lebende Tote were also aware of our return, and had plans of their own. For several days Edmund staff went about the business of re-equipping themselves, and even began to rebuild the surrounding area. One or two zeds tearing at the barricades like metronomes seemed a minor nuisance. Edmund's standing policy of maintaining low barricades began to work against them, however, as zeds began calling out to their nearby brothers, increasing their numbers. Staff and allies were throwing anything and everything into the barricades in a desperate attempt to keep the growing mob of slobbering undead at bay. Yet as fast as they built them, the zeds tore them down. Ultimately, nearly everyone inside the building was killed. A few survived, vowing to "get the hell out of here!", but most fell under the stinking claws of the stinking zombies. Fast forward... ...to the present: EDU is broken back, fled to the Four Corners, bereft of the human bonds that... bonded... us together better than ever! Where are you, Edmundians? Alas, Doc Smithsfieldsoner himself feels sorely responsible much, much better, having abandoned returned to his practice to commune with Ancient Spirits his Patients these past months. He locked himself away in the deepest, dankest levels of Malton's sewer system sorely regrets his absence, surviving on rats and their droppings, defecating in your drinking water, all the while attempting to call up such Minions of the Netherworld as might offer insight or guidance into a way out of the unholy mess that is Grigg Heights. Animals were sacrificed, much blood was spilled, untold quantities of rat droppings were ingested, yet finally, in the midst of his darkest hour, Doc's patience and foulness were rewarded. Now, armed with the but is happy to report that with his newfound Knowledge of the Damned Latest in Proctological Advances, Doc is back and ready to kick some ass. No pun intended. (*Doc Smithsfieldsoner would like to assure both Staff and Patients of Edmund General Hospital that he has never, ever, supped on rat droppings, or indeed any droppings, unless you count that one time in college, but then who hasn't done something a little crazy in college, right?

EDU Surgeons give, and sometimes get, a helping hand. Current Assignment: Renovation, First through Third Floors Let us know where you are. We can't promise we'll help, but we'll pray for you. Those of us who pray, at any rate, which honestly isn't many of us. We're mainly an agnostic bunch, with the odd Atheist or Mormon here and there. Still, every little bit helps, right?

We here at Edmund recognize that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. With that in mind, here are a few helpful tips we've gathered to make your stay here (whether as Patient or Staff) as comfortable as possible: Newspapers! We've all been throwing them away, right? Well, don't! They make great Christmas wrappers, and are equally suitable for stuffing gaping chest wounds. As an added benefit, the specialized inks used by the Malton Gazette contain antibacterial properties not found in other Malton publications. In the event that you don't have access to a Mall Sporting Goods store, shoelaces can be used in place of sutures, i.e. Tennis Racket strings; either your own (acceptable), or those of the recently deceased (preferred). Though wirecutters are discarded routinely by frustrated Maltonians, we at Edmund recognize their potential. From Dentistry to Proctology, these handy little gizmos have proven their worth time and time again. A fencing foil has been used on more than one occasion, in lieu of the titanium rods preferred in the medical community, by Doctor Meddik, for joining large bones rent asunder by angry zeds. A Golf Club could likely serve in the same capacity, if you can find a Doctor willing to give his/hers up. Good luck with that. When viewed through the reverse, binoculars make an acceptable microscope. During a heavy siege medics should carry a Length of Pipe for use as a snorkel if the dead bodies become too deep. Also useful during emergency thoracostomies (use for chest tube). While FAKs are obviously any physician's number one priority, they aren't the only tool in the arsenal. It's recommended that each member carry a mobile phone and a DNA Extractor. Communication is essential. The Ashwin Building (3, 56) houses the phone mast in Grigg Heights. If you're passing by it, or through, take note of its status. While not our highest priority, it's nevertheless important to maintain power and EHB++ barricades at that location. The DNA Extractor has proven its worth in the field, even for those uninterested in a career with NecroTech. It will give you the option to be selective in your targeting, observing which zeds are more powerful, and hence more dangerous. Why waste ammo and AP taking out that Level 3 zed wandering the streets when there's a Level 38 knocking at the door of the hospital? Very important: Do Not Combat Revive, Ever! Revivification needles aren't weapons, don't use them as such. Save those needles for your comrades who may fall in battle, and will actually want to be revived. You may log in to a breached Edmund, with no weapons or FAKs, and the temptation to use that needle to drop a zed might be great, but resist! He will only stand right back up and wreak havoc, perhaps worse than before since now he'll have access to buildings via Free Running. Instead, use your AP to maintain the barricades, and once they're at VSB++ spend a few searching for FAKs. Don't use all your AP doing it, though. It's better to do nothing, but have the ability to react, than it is to be caught sleeping due to lack of AP. Check in often, instead, because you can be sure that's what the zeds will be doing. Does this make you a Meatshield? Possibly. Is it geared toward the survival of Edmund General and the Doc's who'll be working hard to heal and revive? Definitely. What goes along with this, obviously, is the idea that the nearest NT Buildings are of greatest priority. Without ready access to needles, these policies are much less effective.

Kodner, M.D. The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons "The doctors there were great! Not only were they able to perform surgery on my gaping chest wounds, they were also able to fix my broken wristwatch! Thanks!" -Watchman "The Totes can attest to Edmund's unoffical slogan 'We want your bowels moving'. Our super secret zombie spy, Mouth of the Totes, stopped by to grab a few FAKs. During Mouth's stay, Doc '3 Fingers' Smithsfieldsoner did (a) battery (of tests) on a sleeping Mouth's innards. Mouth exited Edmunds sore, but with a clean bill of health and a cleaner colon. Remember, get prostate tests early, get prostate tests often! (P.S. To receive payment, please stop by the Merson. Thank you.)" -Lebende Tote "I didn't think I'd find a rhinoplasty in Malton - even though my insurance certificate is valid until September. So imagine my delight when the nice doctors at Edmund General offered to rearrange my face for free!" - Amanda J Hopkins.
