Carrier’s Cross Hospital For Charitable Cases

Apr 10th, 2010 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

Only the poorest, most unfortunate souls go to die at Carrier’s Cross Hospital For Charitable Cases. But die they do.

The institution instills such fear into the neighboring denizens that they suffer severed limbs and advanced stages of the most grisly diseases rather than cross its threshold.

Nurse Wembley laments their reputation, for every one of the doctors and custodians care for their charges with the utmost diligence. Most are in fact volunteers, as they receive only the tiniest contributions from the city.

The majority of their budget, therefore, must come from selling cadavers to Carrier’s Cross Butchery and Deli.
