St. Simon's Hospital

Description

Before the quarantine, St Simon's Hospital was a children's orthopedic hospital, and offered free medical care to families in need. The interior is still decorated with bright murals and the hallways are lined with drawings from the pupils of Brabner Row School. The hospital is currently part of the Malton College of Medicine campus, and is its base of operations in Eastonwood.

Malton College of Medicine has rearranged the hospital's floor plan to meet the demands of a zombie apocalypse; the ground floor is now used for admissions, the emergency ward has been converted into a dormitory for students and survivors, and the Dean and staff have set up their offices on the fifth floor in the administrative wing. Snuffling can be heard behind the Dean's door. There are rumors that a hot tub has been set up on the roof, accessible only by the staircase to the decommissioned helipad.

History

When MCM arrived at St Simon's in the summer of 2009, the hospital was ruined. There were traces of previous occupation, scraps of old graffiti, but they were cleaned away along with the bloodstains. Anyone who remembers stories from the early years of the infestation should feel free to supply them here. Meanwhile, MCM will begin the next chapter.

Barricade Policy

MCM have proposed a barricade policy for Eastonwood, which can be found here along with the !zanbah plan, which is somewhat different. Unless St Simon's is under siege, MCM will maintain it at VSB++.

Current Status

After two weeks during which MCM comfortably held St Simon's at VSB while 20 zombies gathered outside, on the night of Friday 20 November, there was a very sudden increase to >50. A simultaneous attack by perhaps 15 of those zombies took place that night, almost all of whom were members of The Dead Walker, a group strongly suspected of zerging. Violet Begonia, Dean of MCM, states MCM's position in this respect under 'Recent News' on the Eastonwood page. --Sherry _{talk MCM} 12:47, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

MCM has returned to Eastonwood, and will now settle at St Simon's. The hospital will be held at VSB++ except when under siege. --Sherry _{talk MCM} 14:04, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

MCM is on a mission elsewhere just at the moment, but is keeping an eye on the hospital in its absence. MOB has just passed through Eastonwood, but MCM has begun to rebuild, and St Simon's has been reclaimed and repaired. MCM will continue to service the revive point at the cemetery one block north of the hospital [33,20]. --Sherry _{talk MCM} 14:07, 24 October 2009 (BST)
