Carrier's Cross Hospital For Charitable Cases
Only the poorest, most unfortunate souls go to die at Carrier's Cross Hospital For Charitable Cases. But die they do.

Nurse Wembley laments their reputation, for every one of the doctors and custodians care for their charges with the utmost diligence. Most are in fact volunteers, as they receive only the tiniest contributions from the city.
The majority of their budget, therefore, must come from selling cadavers to Carrier's Cross Butchery and Deli.
