Hospital

Hospitals were places of work in which employees (including doctors, nurses and administrative staff) sought to heal temporary residents, damaged organic life called "patients". Perhaps because of the Doctor's outlook on life — not to mention his very name — many of the more important events in his life took place in hospitals.

The Doctor has sometimes expressed opinions about hospitals. In particular, the Eighth Doctor has expressed an aversion for hospitals, arising from his regeneration in [[Walker General Hospital] in San Francisco. (EDA: Legacy of the Daleks, Kursaal)
