Each staff member allows for greater stability and clarity for The Hospital to operate on and their dwindling numbers is cited as a major source of The Hospitals growing corruption and dwindling functionality.

* 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.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: As Fern notes, he wants to hurt her, but doesn't even seem to be aware of it. He is simultaneously in Fern's way by ordering that she not see her son, yet also helping her by refusing to sign off on the termination of a patient that cannot give consent to his own unexistentialization.

This is downplayed in so far as most of the individuals she treats this way are, in a sense, quite literally conceptual facets of The Hospital and do exist to serve a vital functions within it, making her lack of empathy come across more academic than sociopathic.

As the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification conceptual embodiment]] of doctors, his condition and the The Hospital's condition are both intrinsically linked linked. If The Hospital is degrading and losing stability, so too will Phage in both mental clarity and medical capabilities, and if he is somehow in mortal danger, The Hospital is one foot in the grave if not gone completely.

As seen in [[https://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/934.html 934]], Marcy eventually reveals that he genuinely means well, but he was never meant to be part of the Hospital in the first place, implying that he really is just an UnwittingPawn.]]
