* NothingIsScarier: Dr. Man, at least from what little we've seen of him, is what appears to be a normal human doctor. He's a bit odd-looking for a human, but not unrealistically, and compared to everything else in the hospital he's incredibly ordinary. After all that's come before, ''being relatively normal'' is what makes him scary. As a commenter mentioned, "He's too normal. I don't like this."

The comic stars a nameless mother with a sick baby, whose condition had gotten progressively worse no matter what she tried. After her latest desperate attempt at saving her baby, she wakes up in a strange, twisted hospital of nightmarishly cartoonish design, run by the dangerously inept and insufferably egotistical Dr. H.M. Phage, a giant talking virus. She must face dangerously inept doctors, impossible alien physics, and talking body parts who spout terrible puns in her desperate search for her baby's whereabouts.

!!Provides examples of:

*AbandonedHospital: Subverted- the Hospital in question appears to be abandoned at first due to how dirty and disused everything looks, but once Dr. Phage shows up it's clear that the hospital does have a working staff. Granted, there only seem to be about four people on staff, but still.
*AlienGeometries: During the conversation with Nobody Nose and later with Depressed Spleen, it's implied that The Hospital exists in another dimension seperate from ours, and that the building is all that exists within its own dimension.
*BackAlleyDoctor: None of the doctors seem to have any idea what they're doing, or how the human body works. At one point a nurse is performing surgery on you with a ''spork''.
*DeadpanSnarker: Pretty much everything Depressed Spleen says is either sarcastic, depressing, or both.
*NaughtyNurseOutfit: The Nurse wears sexy, short-skirted scrubs... although her "sexiness" is debatable, seeing as how her outfit is stained with blood. And she's literally nothing but a humanoid cluster of blood vessels with eyes.
*MonsterClown: Gooey Pink Eyes is revealed to be suffering from a strange plague of tiny, flea-sized clowns.
*OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Dr. Phage describes himself as the "chief physician, radiologist, surgeon, pathologist, pathogen, immunologist, urologist, gynaecologist, [[{{Squick}} reverse gynaecologist]], taxidermist, dentist, forensic entomologist, necrobiological reconstructionist, herbalist, fashionist and twin-core husk intersector licensed in all chromatic, material and hypothetical perception zones."
*TalkingPest: Dr. Phage is a giant, talking bacteriophage.
*SceneryGorn: All the rooms in the hospital are filthy, poorly-lit and cartoonishly designed.
*WakingUpElsewhere: The nameless mother starts out waking up not in her own bed, but the hospital bed. It might classify as AbandonedHospitalAwakening, but as previously stated, The Hospital is anything but.
