Matrons Private Office Well done you have found my private realm. This following is meant to be used as story setting. Create characters of all sorts and send them into the facility. Doctors, nurses, visitors and patients of both sexes are all acceptable… there are no limits here
Everyone have fun and enjoy the setting! The Institute Welcome! The Institute was founded in 1900 by Dr. James T. Stacker and was once held in high regard amongst the medical community. However, in the mid-1950’s it was discovered that doctor’s at the facility were using experimental and unorthodox methods in treating their patients and its esteem quickly plummeted. Since then the facility has been kept open without evidence of any true medical license and continues to operate through Dr. Stacker’s wealthy estate. When he died, Stacker left his entire state to the facility itself with orders that it be kept open until it was absolutely necessary to close the doors. The facility is not longer recognized as a hospital and patients are only sent to the complex in extreme overcrowdings or for the sanatorium. Most people simply regard the place as an urban legend of the area and are quite surprised when it’s brought up by their doctor. The mystery of the complex itself inspires fear in all who may be sent there for whatever reason. The complex consists of five major buildings: the medical centre, a three/four storied Victorian style house, and the sanatorium, a two-story Victorian house. Both buildings are an old, dull grey stone with huge wooden steel faced doors. All windows are barred save a few in the entrance area. The complex itself is hidden in deep forest with a gravel drive leading to the gates. A double, fifteen-foot tall, electrified iron mesh fence topped with razor wire encloses the area of the property. The only exit/entrance being the huge gates at the front. There are CCTV cameras and proximity sensors everywhere. There are two other low laying buildings in the complex, the rest of the land being grassy fields with a tree here and there across the landscape. The areas of the hospital are as follows: Housing Ward This first floor Ward is the area of the hospital used for short-term stay patients. During the prominent days of the facility, this is where patients being treated for the flu and other common ailments were housed during their stay. Since then it has come to be used as the housing for patients during their stay, each room equipped with various restraining methods and surveillance. General Treatment Ward This Ward takes up the better part of the first floor. There are several exam rooms in this Ward in addition to the treatment rooms. The exam rooms are generally used to determine proper treatment and are located in the Ward so treatments can be carried out quickly. Most treatments of the hospital are carried out here, though some treatments require the patient to be sent to the sanatorium. Each room equipped with a wide variety of tools, restraining devices, and surveillance. There are also a few special rooms for various special treatments. X-Ray Ward This small portion of the first floor is dedicated entirely to x-rays. Each room is equipped with an x-ray machine and restraining devices to ensure the patients are still during the process. Dental Ward When the second floor of the building was built, half of the entire floor was dedicated to the dental practice. The Ward contains a vast number of rooms; all equipped with all the tools for performing every recognized dental procedure as well as whatever the twisted minds of the dental staff can come up with. Surgery Ward The other half of the second floor is dedicated entirely to surgical procedures. A number of operating rooms fill the area, each with its own personal prep room. The rooms all contain tools for any operation, as well as restraining devices and a wide assortment of anaesthetics. The areas of the sanatorium are as follows: Housing Ward There are actually two housing Wards in the sanatorium, one of the first floor and one on the second. The Ward on the first floor is used for patients who are able to stay in normal rooms. These rooms are equipped much the same as the rooms in the hospital. On the second floor Ward, however, there are padded rooms. These are used for housing of the more uncooperative patients as well as short term living as punishment for both hospital and sanatorium patients. Each padded room has surveillance but is otherwise bare. Behaviour Modification Ward This area of the first floor is dedicated to discipline of disobedient patients who were either disobedient during their stay or were sent there specifically for behaviour modification. Each room contains a variety of tools and devices used to humiliate, degrade, and otherwise torture patients to make them conform. The only limits to treatment in this Ward are the twisted minds of The Institute staff. Therapy Ward This is the other part of the second floor. There are a few rooms meant for group therapy sessions, however most rooms are equipped for chemical and physical therapy. In these rooms the patients are physically rehabilitated for traumas their body may have suffered (often inside the sanatorium). Electroshock & Lobotomy Ward - Basement This is the most feared area of the entire complex. No matter what goes on in the other Wards, no patient fears any area as much as the basement of the sanatorium. It is here that electroshock treatment is administered to patients. The Ward has even been used for lobotomy operations, though the facility only decides to lobotomize patients under the most extreme circumstances. Outbuilding One This is the nurses 'Teaching Rooms' of the institute. All the nurses who come to the institute are already fully qualified. The Teaching Rooms are used to educate the nurses into the particular workings of the Institute. Here they learn to set aside any thoughts of medical ethics, the ends justify the means. They are also taught on how to give free rein to their imaginations. A patient who does not know what a particular procedure entails or how it will be administered will be more likely to behave. The 'Teaching Rooms' also give the hospital staff the opportunity to weed out any nurse who may have slipped through the vetting procedure. What happens to a nurse who fails at this point is left at the discretion of the senior staff. In times past it has been known for individuals to gain access to the institute for ulterior motives. When they have been discovered they often find that they benefit well from the care and attention of the Medical Staff. When new Doctors and Surgeons arrive at the Institute they are assumed to be adequately trained so require no further training. This helps instil their position of authority and superiority amongst the nursing staff. A close eye is kept on them all the same, by their peers. Outbuilding Two This is the 'Prison Ward'. Sometimes, at the discretion of the Prison Governor or at the request of the Institute, a prisoner may be given the chance of a reduced sentence if he, or she, agrees to participate in some Medical Research. They can also be sent to the Institute. These individuals used to be taken from the local prisons, but word soon spread of what 'Medical Research' could entail, so now prisoners are brought in from further a field. The Prison Wing is often used only as a holding area, prisoners being transferred back and forth to the main building, or the Teaching Rooms for treatment. Although, the difference in patient and prisoner is negligible. The Prison Wing makes for an effective 'Black Hole'. The prison authorities often choose not to release a prisoner back into their own community, sending them elsewhere. Thus a prisoner can go into the Institute and never be seen again. Outbuilding Three This is the staff residential unit.
