Medical Wing Room Descriptions
Break Room: A room where doctors, nurses, and other medical wing staff can relax, enjoy a quick meal, and catch up on daily small talk. There are two parallel green couches and a cluster of matching comfy chairs on the south side of the room, while the north side has a few round, black tables surrounded by plastic chairs. The cream-colored walls are decorated with a few generic paintings of flowers and birds. To the left of the entrance is a magazine rack stuffed with the usual generic selection of magazines, save for one well-worn issue of Playboy carefully hidden inside a disused copy of Better Homes & Gardens. Connected to the break room is a small kitchenette, complete with all the essentials for preparing a basic lunch. A counter runs along the east wall with cupboards for plates, cups, bowls, thermoses, etc. running over top. A refrigerator and oven/stovetop take up the north-eastern corner. A microwave, coffee maker, and toaster sit on the counter next to the oven. Someone left half a pot's worth of coffee in the coffee maker; it's ice cold and tastes like sludge at this point, but it may offer a temporary repreive for the caffeine addicts in the Institute.
Doctor's Offices: Offering a reprieve from the sterile surroundings in most of the rest of the medical wing, the doctors' private offices are done up in warm, earthy colors with berber carpeting and smart, modern furnishings. Each office will typically have a flat-screen monitor on top of the doctor's desk, which load up the same login windows as the ones at the front desk when turned on. The desk drawers are filled with papers, file folders, and various office supplies (e.g.: pens, pencils, stapler, hole punch, highlighters, rubber bands, etc.) Some offices will have photos of family members and/or children framed on the computer desks. Others are bare of such things. The walls of offices are sparsely decorated, usually having just one or two framed pictures of plant or animal life up. On the side walls are cupboards for more papers, files, and bits and bobs of minor medical equipment, as well as small wooden shelves for the doctors' own personal selection of medical literature. For nicotine hounds who are lucky enough to search the right office (that being the one in the south-eastern-most corner of the office cluster, one with a significant number of family photos inside), they will find two packs of cigarettes hidden in the cupboards, slipped in amid a small selection of out of date patient files.
Exam Rooms: Each exam room is fairly plain, with white walls, cupboards, and counters, olive green exam beds covered in sheets of white paper, and one or two matching green chairs per room. Each room has a sink, spit tray, and a small selection of tools for medical check-ups. There is one anatomy poster in each room, and each features a different biological system in the human body. Clockwise from the left-most room on the map, the posters are: musculoskeletal system, respiratory system, digestive system, circulatory system, urinary system, nervous system, and a surprisingly explicit diagram of both male and female reproductive systems. At night, the posters have a bit of wear and tear, including a few cuts and rips. At first, these cuts appear random, but upon closer examination, a large number of them appear to be precisely drawn across significant weak points in each system.
Front Desk: The first area a person sees upon entering the medical wing. The walls are a cool blue tone, and the floor is linoleum, checked white and pale grey with splotches of darker grey and black patterning. The desk itself has a low, grey partition in front of it with a two-foot-tall section of glass windows running along the top, allowing front desk attendants to be seen behind it. The partition covers the front and side of the desk, leaving the back end open to the wall behind. Two office chairs sit behind the desk in front of two flat-screen computer monitors. Turning the computers on will bring the user to a login window on a cheerful smiley face tile background. Sitting on the desk are a bottle of hand sanitizer, a small vase of yellow flowers (wilted and dried at night), a tear-away day calendar that someone hasn't updated in a while (it says June 10th, no year), and a round glass jar with packaged lollipops for patients leaving the med wing. The drawers underneath the desk contain papers, assorted file folders, pens, pencils, two staplers, and some boxes of replacement staples. On the wall that the desk is attached to is a large whiteboard. During the day, it is filled neatly with schedules for the day and notes for staff. At night, a message is scrawled in messy black lettering that covers the whole board: "Are you a good patient?" A doodle of a familiar smiley face sits in the bottom right-hand corner, day or night.
General Storage: This is the room where all of the back-up supplies are kept for the med wing. This includes basic stuff like toilet paper and shampoo for the bathrooms, boxes of tissue and hand sanitizer for the waiting room, and so forth. The bulk of it is dedicated to medical supplies, though. Syringes, medicine (though not nearly as much as the pharmacy upstairs has), bandages, burn salve, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol swabs, gauze, disinfectant, latex gloves, hospital gowns, and so forth. It's all neatly stored either in the cabinets that line that walls or in cardboard boxes that are stacked up and will have to be cut open to search through. Since this room is essentially meant as a storage closet, there isn't much else to be found here.
Induction Room: TBA
Infirmary: This is the portion of the med wing that most patients will come to know, as it's where they are taken to rest if they were ill or wounded. While any patient that has an extremely severe wound or is in critical condition will be in the Recovery Room, the infirmary is used for all other illnesses and injuries. The beds, which are twin-sized and meant to only hold one adult, are lined up against both sides of the room lengthwise and are side-by-side. While it isn't as cramped as a barracks, there isn't much in the way of privacy. The floor is tiled and the walls are painted white, whereas the ceiling is blue with a cloud pattern painted on. Each bed has a side table next to it where patients can keep a few belongings, though as usual, they are not allowed access to anything dangerous. Each bed is also outfitted with a button that can be pushed to call a nurse if the patient needs something. It's also possible to pull a curtain around each bed in the event that something like a dressing change needs to be done, both for the privacy of the patient being treated and the consideration of the other patients. IVs can also be kept at a patient's bedside if they require one. At night, the doors here are locked so that any sleeping patients won't be bothered by the monsters that stalk the halls, but if an exploring patient unlocks the doors then all bets are off.
MRI: The MRI room is large, but that is mostly to house the MRI machine itself. The large pearl gray machine takes up almost the entire room, sitting in the center of the otherwise empty room. On the MRI machine is a small call button the patient can use in order to converse with the technician should they experience discomfort or problems during the test. The curved wall of the observation room is a glass pane behind which one can see the observation room itself.
MRI Observational Room: While the MRI room is large, this room is comparatively small and cramped. On the walls are notices reminding technicians and any bystanders that no metal is to be taken into the MRI room itself along with warnings about the high level of magnetism in the next room. There is a single table directly in front of the glass window which looks out into the MRI Room and a single office chair sit at. This table is covered in electrical equipment and three computer monitors, all used in the operation of the MRI machine. Above the table on the wall nearest to the door is a TV unit that displays the MRI room, focusing on the patient bed. There is a speaker on the opposite side of the glass screen and a microphone on the table so the technician can talk to the person undergoing the MRI. Beside the table on the northern wall is a low book shelf filled with manuals and guides on the MRI machine itself. The book shelf is enclosed with clear plastic doors which are locked, but the key is kept on a hook on the wall next to the shelf.
MRI Storage Room: Strangely enough, this room feels larger than the observation room. It is, however, just as filled full of things necessary in the administration of the test and the general maintenance of the machinery. In this room the technicians keep all the positioning goods (leg supports, neck and head supports), wheelchairs, gurney beds, IV poles and lines, non-magnetic pads and clothing used in the imaging process, non-magnetic markers (round or straight metallic looking objects also used in the imaging process), fluid markers and syringes/needles used in administering injections, one stepstool, one ladder, cleaning supplies, and other things necessary for the technician to do this job. Two pairs of noise cancelling headphones and two sets of special glasses that allow patients to see outside of the MRI tube can also be found. There is also a ventilator and resuscitation equipment in the event of an incident available. All of these things are packed neatly onto various shelves that line the room’s beige colored walls and hidden behind a small curtain that is normally closed. This curtain creates a hallway between the outer door through to the observation room which patients and technicians travel in order to pass into the testing area.
Medical Library: All manner of journals, textbooks, and other medical literature are organized neatly in rows of wooden shelves here. The shelves are lined up against and perpendicular to the east wall. More journals and binders are found toward the north side of the room, and more reference materials and assorted science books are found toward the south side. A round, wooden table and three comfy chairs with olive green upholstery sit on the west side of the room. The room feels quiet and cozy with its soft yellow walls and hardwood-patterned linoleum, but patients should beware of creatures that like to lurk in the shadows and crannies offered by the shelves...
Men's Bathrooms: Apart from minute differences in layout, the men's bathrooms located by the doctor's offices and the infirmary are essentially identical. Created to serve a single individual, each contains only one of each of the following: a counter made of blue tile, a circular mirror, a white sink with an automated faucet, a paper towel dispenser, a hand dryer, a white toilet equipped with an automated flusher, a toilet paper dispenser, a toilet seat cover dispenser, and a blue waste container. The walls and floors are made of blue and white tile while the ceiling is equipped with two florescent light fixtures. There is also a metal bar fixed over the side wall next to the toilet for accessibility purposes. The men's bathroom by the locker rooms, on the other hand, contains extra elements not found in the others. At the far side of the wall is a single shower stall surrounded by a blue shower curtain and blue and white tile. The shower head maintains a removable nozzle that can be used for easy washing as well as dispensers for shampoo, conditioner, and soap. A single plastic stool is made available for use. Two drains are situated near the shower stall to minimize flooding.
Men's Lockers: A simple white room with blue flooring, this area is used solely by the staff for storing personal effects during the work day. Blue lockers are stacked against the northern, southern, and western walls. Most of the lockers are locked tight, thanks to a minor theft that occurred before present day. Since the staff is required to bring their own locks for securing their items, one may see a variety in this room.
Operating Room: In the center of the room is, of course, the operating table covered with a surgical drape (blue). At the head of the table is the monitoring and anesthesia equipment. The drawers on the anesthesia machine are empty and power is shut off from the machine. Above is a double set of large surgical lights mounted on maneuverable arms. Like all electronic equipment in this room, patients won't be able to turn them on, but should they ever turn on, they will be extremely bright-enough to eliminate shadows. Pushed against the far wall is an empty stainless steel table meant for surgical instruments. The table sits just beneath small twin flat monitors, also mounted on an adjustable rotating arm. While none of the equipment looks exceptionally state-of-the-art, everything is in good condition-though patients might observe that it also looks like the room undergoes frequent cleaning…due to frequent use. The air conditioner continues to run even at night, so the temperature in the room is rather cool compared to the rest of the hospital.
O.R. Observation Room: The observation room is extremely minimal. Two doors lead into it, one from the hallway and one from the scrub up room. The tiles are a cool white color, matching the tiles in the operating room. There is a single bench placed near the back wall, but for anyone to observe properly, they will have to stand at the window. To the right of the observation window is an intercom for communication, though it is meant for emergency use only as it isn't recommended to disturb the nurses and doctors inside the OR. The window is strong, but it's possible to smash it.
O.R. Supply Room: Similar to the operating and observation room, the supply room is sterile and uncluttered. To the left sits a cabinet containing the anesthesia equipment. Induction agents such as propofol, sodium thiopental, etomidate, Sevoflurane, and ketamine can be found along with equipment for both intravenous and inhalation induction. On the other side are various machines such as an electronic monitor, pulse oximeter, blood pressure machine, and an electrocautery machine. Surgical instruments are located in a row of three medical trolleys lined up against the back wall. Like the cabinets, each drawer on the trolley is neatly labeled and each instrument lies flat in a tray bed. These instruments include: forceps, bulldog clamps, needles, retractors, scalpels, scissors, suture clips/hooks, syringes, vein strippers, measuring instruments, each of varying sizes/varieties, as well as sponges/cotton swabs, and so forth. There is also cleaning equipment for the surgical tools.
Patient Records: Patients' medical records are all stored in the Institute's computer system for easy access, but hard backup copies are also kept here for safety's sake. The rows of narrow, white-framed metal shelves are set close together to make the most of the small space, lined up against and perpendicular to the western wall. All shelves are stuffed with slim, cream-colored file folders in alphabetical order by last name. Each file lists basic statistics and medical history about a patient, similar to files found elsewhere in the building, as well as records of prescriptions, treatments, checkups, special procedures (i.e.: SC, M-U), doctors seen, medical charts, and anything else relevant to a patient's physical health while at the Institute. The floor here is the same white and grey linoleum as the front desk area, and the walls are a soft yellow.
Recovery Rooms: The recovery rooms are where patients go to recuperate and rest after surgery. These rooms are equipped with an olive green bed covered with a white sheet, oxygen mask and tank, and other monitoring equipment (heart rate, blood pressure, IV fluids, etc.) to allow staff to keep a close eye on each patient as they recover from the anesthesia used during surgeries. The rooms themselves are rather plain; the walls and ceiling are white with one or two nature scene posters framed on the walls to help the calming atmosphere. Since the patients are rarely awake for much of their stay in the recovery rooms, little has been done to spruce the place up. There are dark wood cabinets at the opposite end of the room from the door where all the equipment is held and little else.
Scrub Up: This is the room where surgeons and nurses must both wash off and suit up in special clothing before entering the operating room. Patients being operated on need a completely sterile, germ-free environment, and so this room is mainly taken up by sinks that are on either wall. They expel special antibacterial hand cleansers which the surgeons and nurses use to thoroughly wash their hands. Below the sink are storage cabinets that contain towels for drying off, the scrubs (surgical gowns, face masks, sterile gloves, and shoe covers) that are donned before entering the room, and picks to clean the dirt from under their nails. The floor is tiled and the walls and ceiling are pure white.
Technical Room: TBA
Women's Bathrooms: Apart from minute differences in layout, the women's bathrooms located by the doctor's offices and the infirmary are essentially identical. Created to serve a single individual, each contains only one of each of the following: a counter made of dark red tile, a circular mirror, a white sink with an automated faucet, a paper towel dispenser, a hand dryer, a white toilet equipped with an automated flusher, a toilet paper dispenser, a toilet seat cover dispenser, and a dark red waste container. The walls and floors are made of dark red and white tile while the ceiling is equipped with two florescent light fixtures. There is also a metal bar fixed over the side wall next to the toilet for accessibility purposes. The women's bathroom by the locker rooms, on the other hand, contains extra elements not found in the others. At the far side of the wall is a single shower stall surrounded by a dark red shower curtain and dark red and white tile. The shower head maintains a removable nozzle that can be used for easy washing as well as dispensers for shampoo, conditioner, and soap. A single plastic stool is made available for use. Two drains are situated near the shower stall to minimize flooding.
Women's Lockers: A simple white room with dark red flooring, this area is used solely by the staff for storing personal effects during the work day. Dark red lockers are stacked against the northern, southern, and eastern walls. Most of the lockers are locked tight, thanks to a minor theft that occurred before present day. Since the staff is required to bring their own locks for securing their items, one may see a variety in this room.
X-Ray: Standing in the center of this room is the X-ray table, its long surface topped with a thin, white sheet and a pillow; a ceiling-mounted X-ray tube looms overhead. Along the southern wall is an assortment of items and equipment for the daily use of the room: bins for trash and sharp objects, a cabinet for lead gowns, a wheeled stool, dispensers for disinfecting wipes and latex gloves, and outlets for emergency resusitation masks. On the western wall is the vertical bucky, which shares the space with the generator cabinet in the corner. A large window overlooks the area, with a door leading to the operation room about a foot from it. At night, the darkness through the glass seems to absorb light, making it nearly impossible to see
through to the other side. Fluorescent tubes line the walls near the ceiling for lighting. Also
on the ceiling is the railing for the X-ray tube. During the day, the machine casts dim shadows on the above it as it blocks the light; however, the area is a perfect hiding spot at night for monsters waiting to ambush unsuspecting patients.
X-Ray Operation Room: This small space contains little more than the control desk for the machine, which sits below the window that looks into the adjacent room. On the desk itself is an array of dials and knobs- some of the printing on the surface dictating the purpose of each dial has worn away from frequent use. On the wall opposite the door is a small, white cabinet with three drawers, the top of which contains a stack of sticky notes and a few stray rubber bands. The other two drawers are empty.
X-Ray Storage Room: The storage room for the X-ray equipment. Plastic shelves line two of the walls, each containing clear bins labeled with what is to go in them: latex gloves, extra wipes, X-ray tube filters, and lead shielding. A lone lead gown hangs on the end of one of the shelves. Near the door to the control room is a rolling cart with materials for an intravenous pyelogram: iodine-based dyes, syringes, compression belts, and plastic cups.
Doctor's Offices: Offering a reprieve from the sterile surroundings in most of the rest of the medical wing, the doctors' private offices are done up in warm, earthy colors with berber carpeting and smart, modern furnishings. Each office will typically have a flat-screen monitor on top of the doctor's desk, which load up the same login windows as the ones at the front desk when turned on. The desk drawers are filled with papers, file folders, and various office supplies (e.g.: pens, pencils, stapler, hole punch, highlighters, rubber bands, etc.) Some offices will have photos of family members and/or children framed on the computer desks. Others are bare of such things. The walls of offices are sparsely decorated, usually having just one or two framed pictures of plant or animal life up. On the side walls are cupboards for more papers, files, and bits and bobs of minor medical equipment, as well as small wooden shelves for the doctors' own personal selection of medical literature. For nicotine hounds who are lucky enough to search the right office (that being the one in the south-eastern-most corner of the office cluster, one with a significant number of family photos inside), they will find two packs of cigarettes hidden in the cupboards, slipped in amid a small selection of out of date patient files.
Exam Rooms: Each exam room is fairly plain, with white walls, cupboards, and counters, olive green exam beds covered in sheets of white paper, and one or two matching green chairs per room. Each room has a sink, spit tray, and a small selection of tools for medical check-ups. There is one anatomy poster in each room, and each features a different biological system in the human body. Clockwise from the left-most room on the map, the posters are: musculoskeletal system, respiratory system, digestive system, circulatory system, urinary system, nervous system, and a surprisingly explicit diagram of both male and female reproductive systems. At night, the posters have a bit of wear and tear, including a few cuts and rips. At first, these cuts appear random, but upon closer examination, a large number of them appear to be precisely drawn across significant weak points in each system.
Front Desk: The first area a person sees upon entering the medical wing. The walls are a cool blue tone, and the floor is linoleum, checked white and pale grey with splotches of darker grey and black patterning. The desk itself has a low, grey partition in front of it with a two-foot-tall section of glass windows running along the top, allowing front desk attendants to be seen behind it. The partition covers the front and side of the desk, leaving the back end open to the wall behind. Two office chairs sit behind the desk in front of two flat-screen computer monitors. Turning the computers on will bring the user to a login window on a cheerful smiley face tile background. Sitting on the desk are a bottle of hand sanitizer, a small vase of yellow flowers (wilted and dried at night), a tear-away day calendar that someone hasn't updated in a while (it says June 10th, no year), and a round glass jar with packaged lollipops for patients leaving the med wing. The drawers underneath the desk contain papers, assorted file folders, pens, pencils, two staplers, and some boxes of replacement staples. On the wall that the desk is attached to is a large whiteboard. During the day, it is filled neatly with schedules for the day and notes for staff. At night, a message is scrawled in messy black lettering that covers the whole board: "Are you a good patient?" A doodle of a familiar smiley face sits in the bottom right-hand corner, day or night.

The women's bathroom by the locker rooms, on the other hand, contains extra elements not found in the others. At the far side of the wall is a single shower stall surrounded by a dark red shower curtain and dark red and white tile. The shower head maintains a removable nozzle that can be used for easy washing as well as dispensers for shampoo, conditioner, and soap. A single plastic stool is made available for use. Two drains are situated near the shower stall to minimize flooding.
Women's Lockers: A simple white room with dark red flooring, this area is used solely by the staff for storing personal effects during the work day. Dark red lockers are stacked against the northern, southern, and eastern walls. Most of the lockers are locked tight, thanks to a minor theft that occurred before present day. Since the staff is required to bring their own locks for securing their items, one may see a variety in this room.
X-Ray: Standing in the center of this room is the X-ray table, its long surface topped with a thin, white sheet and a pillow; a ceiling-mounted X-ray tube looms overhead. Along the southern wall is an assortment of items and equipment for the daily use of the room: bins for trash and sharp objects, a cabinet for lead gowns, a wheeled stool, dispensers for disinfecting wipes and latex gloves, and outlets for emergency resusitation masks. On the western wall is the vertical bucky, which shares the space with the generator cabinet in the corner. A large window overlooks the area, with a door leading to the operation room about a foot from it. At night, the darkness through the glass seems to absorb light, making it nearly impossible to see
through to the other side. Fluorescent tubes line the walls near the ceiling for lighting. Also
on the ceiling is the railing for the X-ray tube. During the day, the machine casts dim shadows on the above it as it blocks the light; however, the area is a perfect hiding spot at night for monsters waiting to ambush unsuspecting patients.
X-Ray Operation Room: This small space contains little more than the control desk for the machine, which sits below the window that looks into the adjacent room. On the desk itself is an array of dials and knobs- some of the printing on the surface dictating the purpose of each dial has worn away from frequent use. On the wall opposite the door is a small, white cabinet with three drawers, the top of which contains a stack of sticky notes and a few stray rubber bands. The other two drawers are empty.
X-Ray Storage Room: The storage room for the X-ray equipment. Plastic shelves line two of the walls, each containing clear bins labeled with what is to go in them: latex gloves, extra wipes, X-ray tube filters, and lead shielding. A lone lead gown hangs on the end of one of the shelves. Near the door to the control room is a rolling cart with materials for an intravenous pyelogram: iodine-based dyes, syringes, compression belts, and plastic cups.
