'''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. | '''Hospitals''' were places of work in which employees (including doctors, nurses and administrative staff) sought to heal temporary residents, damaged organic life called "patients". These institutions varied greatly in character. Some were small and make-shift — as on battlefields during time of [[war]]. Others were imposing, solid buildings with long histories. Not a fiew, like psychiatric hospitals, specialized in particular kinds of medical care. Still others gave themselves over to primarily medical research. | ||
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. It was not uncommon for his own [[regeneration]], injury to his [[companion]] or the presence of [[alien]] menace to land him in a hospital. Similarly, the [[Torchwood 3]] team — and, to a lesser extent, [[Sarah Jane Smith]] and [[Mr. Smith]] — monitored the pattern of hospital admissions for any sign of threat to [[Earth]]. | |||
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]].
