* {{Unperson}}: Dr. Ucy is missing from Chip's list of ward heads, and while working towards resurrecting missing staff, one of the vague impressions Fern and company receive are for a staff member in this field.

Added DiffLines:

* ResurrectionSickness: The main doctors are much bigger concepts than grayzoners, mid-level staff, or even specialists like Dinea or Magdolene. As a result, they are much harder to bring BackFromTheDead. In the Hospital's current state, it is unable to resurrect them to their full strength from only a single recovered body part. Instead, that body part must be strengthened by items related to that doctor's field, and even then, they come back to life in a weaker and less stable state than their normal one.

Added DiffLines:

* AmuletOfDependency: In order to conserve precious perception, the Hospital's connection to its doctors filters it to where its needed. Unfortunately, this also means that the doctors' own good judgement gets lost if the Hospital is crippled. For example, if the Hospital loses its security administration, then the doctors are driven to instinctively resort to erratic and unguided threat neutralization themselves, making them into threats against any patient that is just a little out of place. Likewise, the Hospital has become unable to perceive the Parliament because they have tampered with the algorithm the Hospital uses to prioritize important information, and without the Lab staff, the doctors are unable to learn or adapt.

Added DiffLines:

* AnatomicallyIgnorantHealing: Part of the reason they can't exactly deal with Fern well is this combined with a bit of CripplingOverspecialization; the Grey Zone(that is, our world) is only one of the many ''many'' places patients hail from, with vast difference between each.
