Mercy General Hospital – Wtf?????
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008This is, with possibly the only exception being the Dolcett stuff, the weirdest thing I have come across in game.
Jenee and I were just exploring when we came across this place, called the Mercy General Hospital. The land description claimed it is intended for ‘medical fetishists and roleplayers’. We thought it a little odd but went inside and had a look anyway. And wow, well ‘odd’ is an understatement.
The hospital was actually rather elaborate in its layout with a morgue in the basement, maternity section, cardio-whatsit and plenty of equipment. Ok, fine, a hospital. That’s not too out of the ordinary. The 2 day old avatar pretending to be a doctor, however, was a little, ummm, different. Allow me to share the following log (though I will do these people the courtesy of a name change! I will, however, leave the spelling errors in! I will also show you the position these avies were in throughout this with a little picture!

They really let someone illiterate graduate medical school?
[9:47] Doctor Newbie: ok i, back
[9:47] Patient: yes dr
[9:47] Doctor Newbie: i will start with a breast exam
[9:48] Doctor Newbie: ok have you had breast cancer
[9:48] Patient: no doctor
[9:48] Doctor Newbie: ok next is an abdomanl exam
[9:48] Patient: yes
[9:49] Doctor Newbie: ok when was your last period
[9:49] Patient: 2 weeks ago doctor
[9:50] Doctor Newbie: ok was it light?
[9:50] Patient: yes doctor
[9:51] Doctor Newbie: ok your uteris is larger then normal i will need to run more test then a normal check up
[9:51] Patient: yes ok doctor
[9:51] Doctor Newbie: but now i need to do a pelvix exam
[9:51] Patient: yes doctor
[9:51] Doctor Newbie: OOhh
[9:52] Doctor Newbie: your cervix is contracted
[9:52] Patient: oh
[9:53] Doctor Newbie: i’m going to but a bladder cather in for a urine sample
[9:53] Patient: yes doctor
[9:53] Doctor Newbie: ok
[9:53] Doctor Newbie: your pregnate
[9:54] Doctor Newbie: yes im sorry you have a few plans you can use
[9:55] Doctor Newbie: would you like to hear them
[9:55] Patient: yes plz doctor
[9:55] Doctor Newbie: 1 you can keep the baby
[9:56] Doctor Newbie: 2but it up for adoption
[AT THIS POINT THE GIRL STOOD UP AND TELEPORTED OUT]
[9:56] Doctor Newbie: 3 aportion
Well, I can only assume that she didn’t like her diagnosis or her options, as she didn’t hang around to hear the last one. Either that or she needed some time alone after finding out that she had a contracted cervix and an oversized ‘uteris’. Then again she might just be somewhat concerned that someone has removed her uterus and replaced it with a ‘uteris’ in the first place. I would also like to know the meaning of the adjective ‘pregnate’ and what the Hell an ‘aportion’ is. Can you imagine actual doctors giving people medical notes like that.
Anyway, following her departure the guy was somewhat keen to check whether Jenee had any medical problems, funnily enough not something she was keen to discuss with him!
We decided to explore and have a little try at some of the medical equipment ourselves!

Do you come here often?

It's a bit chilly in here!
It was just a really odd place. They had a list of staff available with their online status in case you needed medical help. I mean really…. what on Earth would people get out of this? How is an oversized uterus sexy? Maybe I’m missing something here? Anyway, aside from the oddball nature of the place, I did bag myself some freebie souvenirs…

Supplies!!
Now, I don’t know about you lot, but they don’t hand the equipment out at my local hospital. I feel shortchanged!
If you have a bizarre medical fetish, get turned on by morgues or heart attacks or whatever…or you just want to watch Doctor Newbie in action, you can find this hospital here.
