Editing Elmsfield (section)

=== Elmsfield Hospital ===
The Hospital in [[Elmsfield]] is ''much'' better than the one in [[Somerset]].  Players have reported wounded characters being returned to full activity in half the time it would take in [[Somerset]].

Example:  A character in a coma will have his improvement date reduced by approximately 4 days for every 1 day spent in the Hospital.

If you can make the trip it is highly recommended, especially for injuries that are going to take a longer time to heal.

Elmsfield's Hospital is also the only place to check... substance... abusers into Rehab.  Results are slow, it isn't cheap ($300/week), and it takes the place of weekly training, so think hard when deciding whether or not to admit a gang member.

OK, here's the facts, using Alcohol as our example (it's the most addictive of the lot, equal with Zerk):<br>
: 1) On average, an alcohol user will get worse by '''0'''.333 "addiction points" every week.<br>
: 2) On average, an alcohol user in rehab will get better by '''3'''.333 "addiction points" every week.<br>
: 3) On average, an alcohol user, in the hospital (but not in rehab) will also get better by '''0'''.333 "addiction points" each week.
