The Historical Hospital is like any other hospital, people go there to get treated for injuries or illnesses. Unlike other hospitals, the doctors here are transported from different historical periods.
Doctors & Nurses[]
Unnamed nurse in Emergency ward
When a patient is being tended by a historical doctor, the doctor usually has crazy cures that only make the patient's condition worse. The nurses there try to spare the patients of the doctors' wacky treatments. The most reoccurring Nurse works in both the emergency ward and regular parts of the hospital. Another reoccurring nurse is Anne Saunders, though her name is only mentioned once.
