2009 Field Hospital

Running a place like 2009 Field Hospital is a bit different from working in a permanent city building. We are set up to be functional and mobile, which means our surroundings are often quite basic and straightforward. The address is just the hospital itself because we are the main thing at this location. Life here involves a lot of quick thinking and making do with what is on hand. We don’t have the luxury of big fancy waiting rooms or padded chairs; instead, we have sturdy equipment that can be moved if needed. Most of our day is spent checking on people and making sure the supplies are where they need to be. It can get a bit dusty or muddy depending on where we are positioned, but that is just part of the job in a field hospital. The staff lives and works closely together, so we know each other's habits pretty well. There is always something that needs fixing or a tent flap that needs tying down. We don’t spend time on fancy descriptions or trying to sound like a big corporation because we aren't one. We are just a team of people doing medical work in conditions that aren't always ideal. It is hard work and the hours can be long, but we just get on with it because that is what is required of us.
