Activity Name: Safety of St Mungos
Deadline: 31st October 11.59pm UTC
Points:Long debate: Participation 10pts, Additional comment: 2pts.
Details:Debate on whether the St Mungos system of only having one magical hospital for the nation is suitable or dangerous considering it could be attacked. On one hand, it keeps things central and the type of healer needed is always on hand but on the other if it was taken over, there is no other hospital ect. Debate it out. :)


Getting this club up and running has been a trial with the system so sorry this is so late in the month. I figured we had enough time to get it done though so jump right in!

I don't think it's smart, because it makes the hospital such a vulnerable target, intentional or none. If something terrible happens to it either via a dark wizard attack or a natural calamity that makes it unstable/inaccessible/etc for the moment, then who else have wizards got? I'm not sure the benefits of a centralized system is worth the catastrophe that might befall patients in case the hospital becomes unusable. The wizarding world has advanced transportation systems that can make transfer between hospitals easy anyway.

I wonder how they'd transfer patients between hospitals, though. Floo powder? The Knight Bus? (That might make them more sick...) Side-Along Apparation? I guess it would depend on the ailment, but if I'm a witch who is bleeding uncontrollably then none of these sound particularly appealing, LOL.

And if they had to move patients and Healers en masse...that'd be such a headache! Glad I don't have that job!

I think in the case of transferring sick patients, we have to account for the world having magic. I would assume that they would be able to put patients in some sort of stasis in order to transfer them. Something akin to petrifying almost?
