SECTOR GENERAL
Sector General is the name of the large space station that serves as one of the, if not the, finest hospitals in the solar system. It is certainly the largest, set in an orbit around Saturn between Titan and Hyperion.
Sector General is a large, growing space station which has dedicated itself to the treatment of the myriad health problems that can occur, focusing most especially on the problems of living off-Earth.
A teaching general hospital, it currently has a staff of over two thousand medical personnel, and a further four thousand support personnel, all of whom live in the facility. The number of beds that are available to patients is at 1,500 for long-term care, with a further thousand for emergency care.
As a hospital in space, its oncology department is one of the largest in the solar system. Yet this is just one of the many areas in which Sector General excels.
As a center for medical research, Sector General is pioneering new areas in medical science in many fields, such as oncology, microbiology, psychiatry, and more. Recently, the incredible work of Doctor Lillian Truong and Doctor June Muller in cryonics has lead to perhaps the most important medical discovery since antibiotics: the Truong-Muller Cryonic Preservation and Revival Procedure and the Truong-Muller Cryonics Capsule. With these capsules, it is now possible to preserve patients cryonically until such time as their conditions have a treatment or, in the case of medical emergencies wherein no facility is close at hand, keep a patient stable until they are able to get help.
Since the advent of biomodifications due to handwavium, Sector General has been working with its patients to help mitigate the more extreme 'quirks' that are an inevitabilty of handwavium exposure.
Sector General's thionite treatment center has begun to see success in curing patients of this terrible medical affliction.
