Healers' Association of Hogwarts 24.1 Safety of St Mungos

banner to come

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 can see why it might be practical to have just a singular health care complex as wizards from all over can reach it easily. Unlike the muggle world where if there were only one hospital, in London for example, then people from Aberdeen wouldn't be able to visit it very often. However, I think Chrisa is right, there is just far too much risk involved in having one establishment. There are far too many followers of darker magic to believe that a revolt can not, and will never take place again. If there can be more than one place to study the magical world, then why not more than one place to remedy the illnesses that it's inhabitants suffer?

I think if the argument is that wizards can all reach the one place easily via Floo or Apparition or anything else, then they can reach other hospitals just as easily as well. If it's a matter of centralising so that all the specialists can be found in just one place, you can still say the physical location of everyone doesn't matter because there are easy ways to travel in between, right?

Can you imagine if St Mungo's were the only hospital around and then it got attacked? Hogwarts' Hospital wing would be inundated!

That's the point I was trying to make, I just didn't make it very well lol. I was saying that while I can understand where that arguement could come from, it would make much more sense to support more than one complex.

Oh, I got what you meant, I was just adding to it by thinking out loud. XD Besides the centralization of resources (which is pretty easily addressed by most everyone here) I don't think I can come up with any other argument supporting one hospital either.
