Hathian General Hospital is on a tight budget

Hathian General Hospital is facing a state of financial crisis and is undergoing a series of budget cuts as a result while doctors are trying desperately to raise much needed money for the hospital.

"Recently, almost everything at the hospital has been breaking. They keep saying there’s no money in the budget for new things because we don’t have enough revenue coming in. So it’s not a question of where the money is going to, it’s the fact we just don’t have enough going in and our bosses and the board surly aren't going to take a pay cut. Hell, I make about half what the chief of staff would make in a hospital upstate." Co-Chief of staff  Dr. James Matfield stated about the financial situation at Hathian General Hospital. He also added that; "Imagine this, you got a hospital that already has a tight budget in a town that seventy percent of the citizens aren't able to pay their medical bills. A lot of these people don’t have insurance, so the state pays for some but not all. Laws require we don’t deny treatment. Above me now, is a board of directors that approves budgets, but they also pay themselves. These well dressed, sport car driving older types pretty much control how much money we get."

Doctor Matfield believes problems are down to state cuts

Recently there have been reports of mental patients escaping from the psychiatric department in the hospital with security coming up as an issue for concern. One nurse commented, "we do need more attendants, it would seriously help out with discharge and intake." Dr. Matfield agrees, "There were security issues because frankly? Before I took over, there was a shortage of staff in that department. Plus, the person that did the zombie stuff, was a member of staff and knew how to get around the security."  The member of staff is a Dr. River Laveau, claims a source who works at the hospital, who also claims the hospital wouldn't "admit it" but a check with the official police file confirms that Dr. Laveau was arrested for the zombie incidents that plagued the city a month ago. She has been sent to the Harvey Federal Institute prison since then.
