The End of Sebour General (season 14)
== As the head of the hospital was talking to someone on the phone while other people where in the room. As he finished his phone call he put the phone down rubbing his face. "So Hank, are we going anywhere?" Hank rubbed his face again and said "I don't know, that phone call got me nowhere. Even the Medical Board doesn't know. We may all lose our jobs." "But why? I mean there are plenty of places to shut down in Sebour, but why a hospital? We save lives surely that has to be important, it sets up a dangerous wave of us being stressed at tough times and i dont want to compromise a patients health because of a shutdown it shouldn't happen." said Vinton. "Vinton, I'm sorry we all couldn't do what you did for 3 years, but no one knows why they are being quiet and i dont know what will happen." Vinton rolled his eyes and said "That was for safety reasons alright. What the government is about to do is dangerous. They're playing these cards so close to their chest.". Hank said "Look everyone, until we know what's happening, keep up work and try to be positive. You all have a job to do and until we know what is happening, you need to make sure you keep up patient care and look after everyone. It's not going to be easy to see this place shut down. But we'll always be together." Rogers then replied "I'm too old to start a new job. If everything goes the way its meant to I should've retired 15 years ago..I'm in my 70s, no doctor should be working at 70, but I just love my work so much it was hard to quit.." "I know Rogers.. I know.." As Hank let everyone out of his office he shut the door and put his head on the desk and said to himself. "Whatever's going on, don't let this ruin them..". As the day ended with Hank stressed that everyone wasn't going to have work to come back to, he was online reading what places in Sebour were closing, only 3 were, and the reasoning behind it was to make room for more homes, and the hospital was on prime land for building property. Determined more then ever to make sure this didn't happen, Hank called an old friend who worked on the Land Protection Agency.. "I'm truly sorry Hank, but the hospital has been ear marked for years." "So that's it then. Over 1,000 people are out of a job, all because the government wants to build homes? Please tell me that is a joke." "Sorry Hank, but what's done is done. The hospital will get its marching orders to vacate in the coming months.." "Months? Months? It takes over 5 years to build a hospital and its going to be destroyed within months? We have medical waste, equipment that has to go places, they expect it?" "I'm sorry but they do." "You're not sorry at all. Are you?" "I can't say im not surprised that they chose Sebour General, Hank. But the paperwork has been earmarked for over 10 years. The hospital has to go.." "Then why not turn it into apartments? You don't have to knock anything down just build on a few walls.." "Hank, it's not possible due to the radiation from the x-ray room, Sebour General has high amounts of x-ray radiation and that is part of the reason its being knocked down. They'll replace the dirt, and give people the once over. Its the end of the road for General. You just have to believe me. I have another call waiting. I'll talk to you later.." The phone hung up and Hank put his phone down. Hank was furious that the hospital was going down this way, but he couldn't do another about it now. He had to inform everyone that the hospital was done. The next day as the doctors where busy saving lives someone else made his way into the building and to Hank. "Ah Tuck, you must have some idea on what's going on." Tuck nodded and said "From what I've been informed of is that they want everyone here to go to the Sebour University Medical Hospital.." "for real? That hospital's training program has been called the worlds hardest program to get into, and only 4% get in." "Yeah that one." "You've been apart of it for years, what makes you think everyone here will take the job?" "Because it goes great on a resume." "Of course.." the phone then rang. "Hello, Hank Summers.." as the call went on the defeat on Hank's face was now apparent. 10 minutes later he put the phone down and said "That confirms it...Sebour General's done, I guess the phone call I had last night really showed where the respect of Sebour General went.." Hank grabbed the phone and dialled to everyone. "I need to see all heads of faculty in the boardroom. This includes the wards man and the nurse unit manager. We need to discuss something serious.." Hank put the phone down and he looked at Tuck and said "I just hope you have a big Medical Facility for all these workers, if not I'll personally throw you off the hospital roof." Tuck nodded as Hank opened the door and walked to the boardroom. Everyone was sitting nervously either on the floor or on a chair. As Hank and Tuck walked in, questions started to be asked and the Nurse Unit Manager said "What's going on?". Hank sat in a chair and rubbed his eyes, he was mad he said "I'll tell you what is going on. Him.." meaning Tuck "Is the director of Medical Programming at Sebour University Medical Hospital." "Yeah and so what?" said the head of orthopaedics. "After receiving a call not just 10 minutes ago... Sebour General is done. It's over." gasps entered the room as Hank continued. "Of all things to end this hospital.. We have to leave because they want to build apartments..Of all things homes!" Hank grunted and said "Tuck here has said many of our staff can join SUMH, or we can retire." Karl said "Let me ask something.. If we tried hard enough could we stay?" "No.. not really. They would force us out anyway. Sebour Trauma is safe because of the NSU.. We have nothing.. Literally nothing.. All we have is an Emergency Department named after a former worker." Douglas chimed in and said "What if I have a conversation with Mthembu? Maybe he can cancel this..We can't lose our jobs now.." Hank nodded and said "Try. but take it outside. Last I heard you two weren't on speaking terms.." Douglas nodded as he took the call outside. "I have to say. Hospitals are known for radiation did you tell them that when you were on the phone?" "I did, they said they would take all the dirt and everything with it and replace it. We could take it to court but by the time they get to it it'd be too late." "Can I ask why is the government offering to put us up at SUMH?" "Because it's halfway.. The only thing in the middle where SUMH is, are schools. That's why.." said Tuck. As Douglas came back into the room Hank said "And?" "And nothing. Mthembu said it was all signed off on months ago. It wasn't made official until today." "And what else there has to be something else?" "He said that the hospital isn't being knocked down, its going to be repurposed as a facility for those to combat drug addition. The apartments will be those patient rooms." "Are you serious? A Facility for those to combat addiction?" said Tryal. "Sebour does not have one, and they thought that if those built one it'd be a huge waste of money. Now they chose Sebour General because of how big it is.." as Hank was about to continue, an argument broke out between all them. Outside a man was walking towards the doors of the boardroom, he opened them but no-one noticed as they were arguing. The man let out a whistle and said "That's enough!" as the bickering stopped everyone turned around and starred at this man. The camera moved around to reveal who it was. It was Quinton.... ==
