Generally speaking, hospitals were a good place. They symbolized hope. When people were sick. The first place that they thought to go to was the hospital. Once there they got themselves checked out, making sure that it was nothing serious.
Then they walked out with a prescription, or with a treatment plan for whatever ailment they had. For those who had been in accidents. From something as simple as cutting a finger while chopping vegetables. To having fallen off a cliff. Or maybe even being involved in a car crash. The hospital was often their first stop.
The place that a person hoped to make it to, if they were to have any chance of surviving.
Hospitals were also where the majority of people were born. That was how important they were.
But even with all of the good that went on at hospitals. There was also a dark aspect to the life-saving facilities.
