Description
Anne General Hospital is an old hospital located in the suburb of Dulston. Interestingly enough there are two other hospitals in Malton that share its name located in Mockridge Heights and Whittenside. Originally built in 1924 on Bellot Street with 52 beds. This building was later used as a fever hospital for isolation cases. It was a two storey building with 30 beds on the main floor, 22 more beds and living quarters on the top floor, and doctor's and administration offices in the basement. The staff was headed by none other than the nearly unknown Dr. Frank Fisher. No one knew anything about him, but he had amazing medical credentials.
In 1944, Dr. Gregory Cochrane, who had been in the practice for several years, was appointed Superintendent of Medical Services, succeeding Dr. Fisher. Over the years the need for additional beds was ever growing, and on February 3rd 1945, a new wing was hastily opened allowing the hospital to accommodate 32 additional patients. However, this was still not sufficient to adequately service the area. The hospital was nearly always overcrowded when men and women returned from the war overseas, and the need grew urgent. Therefore at the behest of Dr. Cochrane, plans were made to further renovate the old building.
It was estimated that the renovations would cost around $175,000 and that it was to be raised by voluntary contributions from the people of Dulston as the city was cash-strapped at the time. This amount would be matched by a local corporation, MalCo Ltd, and the Commission of Government agreed to provide the remainder of the financing. The people of Dulston gave willingly and generously. The actual cost of the construction was almost $190,000. The official opening was held on January 5th 1951, with Malton's Mayor performing the ceremony. This new hospital had 136 beds, with the first patients moving into the building on February 13th 1951. Ever since the "Malton Incident" though the hospital has remained in disuse, or that was the case until...
The Dulston Infection Treatment and Prevention Squad has assumed control of the hospital and intends to keep both a fueled generator and radio transmitter running at all times. Anyone in the area that requires medical assistance is welcome to visit. Injured survivors arriving at the hospital will find that active members of the D.I.T.P.S act immediately in providing assistance.
While noted NecroTech scientist, Caleb Usher, has never worked at Anne General Hospital he commended the D.I.T.P.S for their efforts to bring proper medical aid to their fellow survivors. Caleb himself once served as the head surgeon for Blaise General Hospital, until zombies ended all of his efforts in the hospital long ago, so the well-known scientist is always vocal in his support of others whose goal is to take up the same cause as he once did.
Mandate
The staff at Anne General Hospital try to always support the following ideals:
- To provide medical assistance to anyone and everyone who enters.
- To cure the infected.
- To keep its doors open to lower level survivors, if possible.
It is asked that survivors please note whether or not there is a portable generator within the hospital, and whether it has fuel or not. As a working portable generator is required for the Surgery skill it is asked the survivors provide support by replacing either the generator when destroyed or refilling its fuel supply when its exhausted. This in turn will allow the medical staff to provide more efficient aid to the injured.

Barricade Policy
This building must never be more than Very Strongly (VS+2) barricaded. This barricade level has been set forth in the Dulston Optimal Defense Diagram, a strategic barricade policy that is enforced by all member groups of the Dulston Alliance. As a hospital it is important that every effort be made to keep an "open door" policy (VS+2 barricades) so that lower level survivors can find the medical aid they need. Visitors are requested to never barricade beyond Very Strongly unless the building is currently under siege from 5 or more zombies. Note that any survivors associated with the Dulston Alliance have the right to lower the barricades back to Very Strongly if they discover them raised higher without just cause.
As the hospital is also maintained by the Dulston Infection Treatment and Prevention Squad, a member group of the Dulston Alliance, they support this decision as it is in accordance with their own policy to allow survivors without Free Running safety and medical aid.
Current Events
August 26th, 2008 - Through a taxing war of attrition, a mob of 24 zombies finally managed to overwhelm the hospitals defenses and are finishing off the remaining 6 or so survivors left inside the building. This was considered by many to have been a truly gruesome fight for the control of hospital.
- Update: It rumored that Deathwire, the hospital's Chief of Staff, declared in his best General Douglas MacArthur voice, "I shall return". Setting in motion plans for the eventual retaking of the hospital by D.I.T.P.S.
August 25th, 2008 - A mob of seventeen zombies attacked the hospital. The generator was destroyed. Many survivors were killed. -- Kittithaj 15:16, 25 August 2008 (BST)
August 23rd, 2008 - One break-in today, but the hospital still holds, with power. A siege is expected. Only experienced survivors are advised to stay. -- Kittithaj 14:28, 23 August 2008 (BST)
June 11th 2008 - The hospital was struck thrice today, not by zombies, but by fellow humans. It started at dawn when Umlitka returned, in human form, bypassing all the barricades. He killed two survivors and successfully escaped before he could be righteously punished. In the afternoon, a local saboteur He's dead Jim sneaked in and destroyed the generator. Then Perzeus, an ex-D.I.T.P.S member gone rogue, came in to visited Deathwire before pumping his former boss full of bullets. Looks like D.I.T.P.S will have to do a background check and psychological test before accepting a new member from now on. -- Kittithaj 18:39, 11 June 2008 (BST)
June 10th 2008 - The hospital was still under siege. One persistent zombie broke in, killed, was thrown out, and broke in again a few minutes later, only to be killed and thrown out again. Another zombie which followed it also recieved the same treatment from the hospital staff. After that, the undead tried a new tactics, by parachuting Umlitka, an infected survivor with free running, into the hospital, who then turned into a zombie. Vigilant survivors quickly handled this threat and no serious damage was done. -- Kittithaj (recorded on 11 June 2008)
June 9th 2008 - Survivors were lured into a false sense of security when half of the zombies moved away from the hospital and started attacking other buildings. D.I.T.P.S Medical Student jackspear9 declared the siege over around midnight. One hour later a zombie had broken in and damaged the generator before it was killed and tossed out. After many hours of peace, D.I.T.P.S leader Deathwire declared the siege over once again at dawn. In the evening it was decided that barricades should be torn down to VSB. This turned out to be a big mistake when three zombies broke in, killed Officer Murphy (again!), and destroyed the generator. The siege continues. -- Kittithaj 16:20, 9 June 2008 (BST)
June 7th 2008 - Tragedy struck today when a zombie from The Dead broke into the hospital, killed Officer Murphy, the founder of the Dulston Alliance and co-founder of Dead vs Blue. Another feral zombie followed in and destroyed the generator. It doesn't look like a random attack; perhaps The Dead is targetting high-profile survivors. Mikhos swore revenge for his fallen comrade. Officer Murphy was revived later that day, though. -- Kittithaj 16:32, 7 June 2008 (BST)
June 6th, 2008 - By the looks of things the hospital seems a little bit safer there are a lot of survivors inside the building with the barricades at HB we also have a genny and there are only 8 standing zombies outside but what worries people the most is the fact that there are around 17 zombies lying on the floor just waiting for the right time to get up come on people don't let the zombies win. --Firefighter00789 05:43, 6 June 2008 (BST)
- An eyewitness, Kade Decker, report in Treweeke Mall that there was a break-in today with three zombies got in. They were pushed out by the defense, but not before destroying the transmitter, cutting off the communication from the outside world. -- Kittithaj 18:09, 6 June 2008 (BST)
June 5th, 2008 - One week into the siege. Zombies are still gathering outside with no intention to give up. Deathwire, leader of D.I.T.P.S, said that there is only one option - to lock all windows and exits and fight on. "Anne General shall never fall!", he boldly proclaimed. Officer Murphy offered a cunning plan; all survivors should sneak out of the back door quietly, push the building so it falls on top of all the zombies, then rebuild it from the ground up. Survivors are weighting either of the options. -- Kittithaj 20:32, 5 June 2008 (BST)
June 4th, 2008 - O no this is pure madnes i have no idea why but someone inside the building destroyed all of the barricades there are no longer any barricades in the uilding except for the closed doors whe have no genny and no trasmitter please come and help us defend this place otherwise this place will fall. --Firefighter00789 23:28, 4 June 2008 (BST)
June 2nd, 2008 - The last 3 zombies were driven out of the hospital, using both conventional method and combat reviving. Deathwire, leader of D.I.T.P.S, offered cake for everyone participating in the siege. However, the feast was interrupted by Mikhos, who wanted everyone to build up barricade first. Now the hospital is back in operation. Still, a trouble is looming ahead with more than twenty bodies piling outside. -- Kittithaj 18:37, 2 June 2008 (BST)
June 1st, 2008 - The building has finally fallen, lost generator radio transmitter and survivors.3 zeds outside.--Dr houser 19:23, 1 June 2008 (GMT)
May 30th, 2008 - Anne General Hospital status is VSB and powered but it seams to be attracting a lot of unwanted attention particularly zombie type at the moment there are 15 standing zombies outside the building banging at the doors but survivors seam to be able to withstand the attack altought i have no idea how much longer. --Firefighter00789 05:28, 30 May 2008 (BST)
March 17th, 2008 - Anne General Hospital has, on the momentous day, achieved artistic glory. What do we mean? Well apparently so much artwork has been placed within the hospital that there is simply no more room for anything else. It's literally packed with artwork, mostly in the form of African Statues. With so much artwork here everyone inside the hospital by now must be irradiated with high levels of culture. Local science staff are curious whether this may lead to a higher consumption of fine wines and cheese by hospital staff. --Mobius 13:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
February 21st, 2008 - After being offline for a while due to a recent invasion Anne is back and powered powered ready for business. Be aware that it may be barricaded above the normal VS+2.--c2s 23:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
January 9th, 2008 - A recent (five minutes ago) check revealed that Anne General has once more been restored to its former glory. Power is on, FR lanes are up, and we're warming some brandy over a bunsen burner- come on up for the party! --Boris 17:26, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
December 14th, 2007 - Due to recent claims that Anne General Hospital has been ransacked by the Infected Swarm and other miscellaneous zombies, official DITPS Official Deathwire is reported with saying the following; "Anne General ransacked? Oh, 'at's not it. No, it's just bein' remodeled 'n all, mate. Y'see, 'ose chaps with the terrible odor and and ripped clothing are simply our construction workers, savvy? Anyone who says otherwise obviously does not support the Greater Good 'n should be hit with a rake or something..don't say that last bit though." Whether these claims by the DITPS hold any merit is for the people of Dulston to decide, though the facts lean toward Deathwire simply being in denial about his hospital being ransacked. --Not Deathwire 22:38, 14 December 2007 (EST)
December 10th, 2007 - It seems that the D.A. has not been living up to their own claims to protect the people of Dulston, for we the Infected Swarm have taken another of their HQ's, though this building did put up more of a fight, by the feral humans, it was still taken by a small force of Swarm members.--Vachon Blaze 21:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- Update: I reiterate: LESS PROPAGANDA, PLEASE. While I don't mind reports, and if you're making progress with your horde you admittedly deserve to announce as such, please cut down on the flowery language. It's irritating to have to sift through the newspeak to get to the point. --Boris 17:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
October 3rd, 2007 - The horde of zombies seems to be dwindling, thanks to timely efforts at barricading by Dulston Alliance members and others, including (and yes, I'm plugging us here!) the Flustered Brethren. --Freddy 20:55, 3 October 2007 (BST)
September 28th, 2007 - Passing by, NecroTech scientist Cecil Barns detected a large mob of 30 zombies standing in front of the hospital and small groups of respectively 2 and 4 zombies on buildings adjacent from the east. --James beckerson 14:44, 28 September 2007 (BST)
September 21st, 2007 - A series of battles took place in the hospital. At times, the situation looked hopeless and a majority of the survivors inside fled. However, the actions of the DITPS agents and several civilians saved the hospital from returning to it's ruined state. As the zombies brood outside the hospital, hoping to finally seize it from the hands of the living, survivors rally inside and prepare to repel these zombies again and again.
September 14th, 2007 - The hospital fell to the zombie attack from several days ago, but the situation has slowly improved over time. Of the original zombie numbers only 2 zombies remain inside at this time. The building though is still ransacked and ruined. A planned strike by DITPS plans to resecure their headquarters by clearing out the last remanents of the zombie intruders.
- Update: In a battle that will no doubt be forgotten by historians the members of DITPS have resecured the hospital. At this time there are no zombies inside and power has been restored. Looks like it's back to business as usual.
September 1st, 2007 - The barricades have fallen and 10 zombies have entered the main lobby. With only 5 survivors still alive it appears as though the headquarters of the DITPS is doomed...
August 23rd, 2007 - Although the zombie population around the hospital has began dispersing, there still remains a small group of dedicated zombies holding the hospital. There are rumors that a group of survivors will soon begin combat reviving all zombies found inside, but this is not endorsed by the building's current staff, the DITPS, and is, in fact, frowned upon. Nor is this planned "action" endorsed by any group within the Dulston Alliance, as their policies are very clear when it comes to combat reviving.
August 20th, 2007 - Wuhan, a member of DITPS, reports that Anne General Hospital has been completely ransacked with 10 zombies standing inside. The young medical student killed some of the zombies that had invaded the building before falling back.
- Update: In a humorous turn of event the following was found inside the hospital: "Somebody has spraypainted a mural of Deathwire astride a pile of zed corpses onto a wall". It would seem that the second-in-command of DITPS is well known among the local populace.
August 16th, 2007 - The hospital has changed hands a few times during the turbulant times, but for now remains in the hands of those survivors still inside. However their is a mob of zombies knocking at the doors just waiting for another chance to get inside and "Murh!" around. The hospital has asked that anyone willing to come to their aid is free to take refuge behind a gurney and unleash gunfire at any invading zombies.
August 15th, 2007 - The Hospital has been retaken by a few survivors, after a few tenous hours of the place being in zombie hands, and now stands empty of unlife and barricaded. The DITPS, when asked about the current status of their hospitals, had this to say, "The zombies are putting up a fight to take Anne General, but they seem to be making no effort to hold it. If the zombies continue in this stratagem, we will be able to keep our services running indefinitely." Also, the DITPS Security team has begun recruiting anyone willing to pick up a pistol and hold the line.
August 13th, 2007 - Break-ins occured multiple times today, with three zombies currently inside, and around twenty outside. Reinforcements are requested.
August 12th, 2007 - The hospital has been retaken and barricaded by a mixed group of random survivors and DITPS agents. Thirty zombies shuffled around blankly outside of the hospital, and it is only a matter of time before they notice the change in ownership.
August 10th, 2007 - The hospital has been breached and 17 zombies are inside with the survivors. The building has been re-barricaded, but survivors need help clearing the zombies out.
July 6th, 2007 - Though the horde of zombies that shamble around outside of Anne General Hospital are persisnant, the valiant staff of the Anne General Branch, the Field Team Branch, and the Security Branch of the DITPS have managed to hold off the zombie onslaught and still provide quality healing services for those in need. DITPS Temporary Security leader Ryan Marsh had this to say on the matter, "Those of us on the security force are trying our best to keep the zombies out, and despite multiple break-ins, have kept the zombies at bay." He went on to explain how the security team and other members of the DITPS would appreciate further assistance and wanted to remind the public that they were always willing to welcome new members into their group.
June 4th, 2007 - A NecroNet report, issued by the Electric Light Torchestra from the Whitlock Building, indicates that a small force of zombies totalling 5 in number are currently outside the hospital. The DITPS have been alerted to this potential threat.
May 26th, 2007 - The hospital is under siege from a small, but well coordinated, group of zombies. They managed to break-in once already and destroy the generator before dragging a survivor out into the street. DITPS staff retaliated by killing several of the zombies and treating the wounded, but the attack has continued unabated.
March 14th, 2007 - Anne General Hospital's barricades have been breached! Reports indicate that a fierce battle is taking place inside as one of the zombies, the oddly named baybeaphelcher, was reported inside and contaminated with brain rot, not that its recommended to combat reviving any zombies. Members of the D.I.T.P.S are attempting to fend off the attack.
February 13th, 2007 - The Shamblin' Crooners crashed the hospital, making it the twelfth stop in their new SHAMBLIN' CROONERS APOCALYPSE tour. Dulston survivors heard a lot more angst in the zombie tunes as they sang heavier music including Metal, Grunge, and of course Death Metal. Sick and injured survivors, possibly even some gathered here from the Shamblin' Crooners earlier venues eventually scattered under the vocal and physical assault.
February 8th, 2007 – Over-barricading seems to have returned for the last two days, even though zombie activity seems minimal.
January 21st-29th, 2007 - The Shamblin' Crooners made their usual grand entrance and entertained everyone inside with their famous "break-in & concert" style of zombie rock. Some humans were eaten. Some zombies were shot. Bottom line, everyone had fun. Rock on Crooners, rock on...
January 12th, 2007 - After several zombie break-ins and general havoc, the Dulston Infection Treatment and Prevention Squad have managed to regain complete control of the situation. Injured survivors looking for assistance should consider our doors open to them once again.
January 4th, 2007 – Over-barricading has been noticeably lessened, as most people are now recognizing the Dulston Infection Treatment and Prevention Squad's activity in the hospital. New medical staff have been recruited into the D.I.T.P.S, and are currently upholding the hospital and patrolling the suburb to revive any zombies who wish to live again.
December 12th, 2006 - Flyte arrived at Anne General Hospital, along with medical staff from the Dulston Infection Treatment and Prevention Squad, in order to bring dedicated medical assistance to survivors. As such, the hospital now falls under the policies set forth by the D.I.T.P.S. charter.
November 15th, 2006 - Members of DORIS persist in their claims of controlling all Dulston. Taking a page straight from Conquerors 101 DORIS has instigated a policy whereby local buildings and streets throughout the suburb have been renamed by their group, in this case, the hospital is now known as the Bagdad General Hospital as far as DORIS is concerned.
July 25th, 2006 - Anne General Hospital seems to be the best place for tourists to stay. Although the hospital has been attacked several times, many survivors work to help each other stay alive, even with zombies attacking and opening the doors. Meowdam and Bubyax, famous for their help throughout Dulston, came to visit there friend Yellowducky here.
April 8th, 2006 - After their initial warm welcome and success here a few days ago the Shamblin' Crooners made a return performance to satisfy all their fans who still hungered for more Z!ng, Z!ng. Again, the only fatalities were all good natured ones.
April 4th, 2006 - The Shamblin' Crooners made their usual grand entrance and entertained everyone inside with their famous "break-in & concert" style of zombie rock. Some humans were eaten. Some zombies were shot. Bottom line, everyone had fun. Rock on Crooners, rock on...
December 15th, 2005 - 53 Drunken Dead laid siege to Anne General Hospital. Fireman Tom Mot was killed when the barricades were overrun on the previous night, but was soon revived only to be killed again within minutes of re-entering the hospital. The culprit was the Drunken Dead zombie named Brainsrgood.
November 19th-21st, 2005 - After two days of fighting, the survivors occupying Anne General Hospital opted to retreat or have been eaten by zombies from the Drunken Dead. It was from the top of the hospital that the Drunken Dead spied the Much Arms, and vowed to empty its wine cellar, regardless of the cost. The Drunken Dead abandoned the hospital and shambled towards the greatest undead drinking binge the world has ever known.
