University Hospital

In RL Albuquerque, University Hospital is actually just one of several facilities which make up the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center. At Masquerade, we obviously have to present a smaller, more compact version of the hospital, although "our" hospital does have a trauma center, a psychiatric ward, and in-patient services. The Custom Care Recovery Center, a specialized convalescent facility just north of the hospital proper, is also housed under the umbrella of University Hospital.

Fate administers the hospital on Masq, and is always accepting hospital-related PCs — doctors (ER, surgeons, general, psychiatrists), nurses, paramedics, orderlies, etc. Medical types on Masq do not need to go through a special application process.

Hospital Policies

HOSPITAL SECURITY

There are closed-circuit security cameras in patient rooms and all public areas of the hospital. Characters with Obfuscate, the ability to enter the Umbra, etc. must be aware of this. Patients: You are monitored for your own safety and security. If you wish to circumvent the camera in your room, whether it be through supernatural or normal means, you must contact staff (preferably me). You are not to just assume that you were able to turn off the security camera or that you were able to block its view of the room or that it malfunctioned. YOUR CARE: Unfortunately, PC health care personnel and Masq staffers are not always available to RP out patients' hospital stay. As a patient, you must realize, however, that you are not being left to languish ICly. NPC doctors, nurses, and orderlies are always present and monitoring your condition around the clock. So, unless you are told otherwise by a Masq staffer, you must RP your hospital stay accordingly. VISITING HOURS: Being stuck in the hospital without visitors can be boring and lonely. Thus, for the sake of RP, a "Visiting Hours Zone" is in effect at the hospital, which means that +time is suspended during visits and it is considered to be between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., i.e. regular visiting hours. Situations where someone wants to visit "after hours," wants to hold a bedside vigil, etc. will be dealt with by staff on a case by case basis. When in doubt, ask staff first. CONDUCT: If you think that a hospital environment is a perfect opportunity to get a cheap TS thrill, you will be very much disappointed. This is not a motel. Patients and visitors caught TSing at the hospital will be dealt with as follows: Visitors: After one warning, you will be fined $250 for public indecency and subsequently barred from the hospital by security personnel. Patients: After one warning, depending on your Health Level status, you will either be discharged summarily and/or you will lose another Health Level due to overstressing your system.
