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!

It's not a good idea. The location is inconvenient for those located in the north of the UK--let alone Northern Ireland--and even Hogwarts students who may need further medical care may find the journey not to their liking. Can the very ill be moved by way of Side-Along Apparition or Floo powder? I can't imagine it would be much fun. (Imagine someone vomiting profusely--maybe vomiting slugs, whatever--who needs care but cannot speak or do anything. If you're tasked with taking them to the hospital, you better put on a poncho or something.)

For that reason, it might be more logical for St. Mungo's to have smaller satellite locations of their hospitals in areas with known Wizarding populations. It's like here in DeKalb County, there's one giant DeKalb Medical Center near our house, but then in the southwest of the county there's a campus, there's a smaller campus in downtown Decatur, etc. There are WellStar hospitals all over the suburbs and exurbs. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta has big central hospitals but also smaller satellites to help deal with minor sicknesses and injuries for convenience. It's a good idea to not put all your eggs in one basket, but it is okay to have more intensive stuff in one location.

Oh, I like this rationale that transportation between locations still wouldn't be ideal because of how the ill/injured would have to be moved. I wonder if there are "wizarding ambulances", kind of like the Knight Bus but for hospital transfers?

HAI NAMETWIN! :3 I like your ideas of a large, general hospital (St. Mungo's, obvs), but also smaller hospitals for specialized care. It'd certainly make the wizard E.R. flow more smoothly, if it's anything like E.R.s here in the U.S.!
