So. I have no idea what goes where, so how about people tell me what you think is in the hospital and where it is, and we'll work from there?

I'm just going to give my mental image 'cause...well, 'cause I am.

The place opens into a waiting-type room. In a normal hospital there'd be a reception desk but lolz no. The waiting room has drinks off to the side, and a place for laptops, and I was thinking there'd be a mini-kitchen there-- a sink, a burner, cupboards above and below with really simple snacks and dinners-- energy bars, instant ramen, soba-- for people who were waiting. There's a hallway off there that leads to the staff area-- the breakroom and any offices on the first floor; probably the janitor's closet. And then the paitent rooms are from another hallway, and the stairwell's probably open.

I think I have referenced a reception area -- some place where people arrive with injured at least and are met by staff/can call staff into. For that reason, I think it'd make sense to have the waiting area separate from the arrival area -- we wouldn't want people panicking, making fuss etc, if someone arrives critically injured. We'd want the staff to get them to a room with as little fuss/staring/commentary as possible.

That'd be the emergency entrance in an American hospital-- I'd think with no reception/maintenance staff, people would go directly into triage.

And I've just realised that we prooooobably need a triage nurse.

Okay, it makes more sense to me to answer your comment from Minagawa's post here ( ... )

Also labs are a must according to commentary on the Mess Hall post.

on_target December 19 2006, 01:39:28 UTC

Lab would be one of those things I would think would be in the 'staff only' area.

voodoochef December 19 2006, 01:42:35 UTC

Staff-only area? Dude, that's cool.

I kinda want swipe cards.

It's probably not good that whenever I think of the hospital I get Theme Hospital flashbacks is it?

Tile floors, an occasional plastic plant, random chairs around, and basically one long hallway (other than a reception area. So more like a nursing home is how I always thought it, other than like the ER and such. But that is just my very wrong mental image.

...if there were plastic plants Thea threw them all out.

kick_up_a_notch December 19 2006, 02:05:53 UTC

I don't know when that's stopped camp before, but oh?

thearratik December 19 2006, 02:09:06 UTC

Yeah, you've got a point there.

...now I have this mental image of Thea trashing the plants every day, and every day new plants popping up. Like Sisyphus.

I used to keep this post, about what people said was in the hospital, updated.
