Chimera Den Infirmary
The Infirmary is a building each Chimera Den has within their territory. The size of the Infirmary varies based on the Den’s population density. The Infirmaries are often built in the center of the Den, wherever it may be in the territory belonging to the Chimeras. This is to ensure that the Chimeras living in the Den have an equidistant path to the Infirmary in case of injury or emergency.
Each Den has at least one adult healer in residence. The head healer’s residence is often attached to the Infirmary for ease of access during emergencies. The number of healers working within the Infirmary is low during normal times. However, most Dens have a policy where each young adult trains within the Infirmary to learn basic first aid. If the young adult shows skill or interest in further training, they are welcomed as an assistant in the Infirmary. This policy allows the Dens to fully staff the Infirmary in case of a territorial dispute with another Chimera Den, natural disasters such as forest fires or landslides, or an altercation with a group of Arcanists or Humans.
In addition to the head healers and their assistants, the Infirmary is typically stocked with certain medical equipment. This can include blood infusion reserves, which the Den regularly replenishes themselves, IV Lines, heartrate monitors, ultrasound equipment. Rather than a full x-ray machine, MRI, or CAT scan bays, these Infirmaries will often stock the more portable CHI-MED scan machines. These CHI-MED scanners allow the healers to input their variant of Chimera elemental powers and see beneath the skin and bones into the body of their patients, effectively rendering the need for the larger machines obsolete.
The Infirmaries are built to withstand damage, in case of attack or natural disaster. They are intended to serve as a shelter for the young and vulnerable in case of emergencies. Due to this reason, the Infirmaries also have underground tunnels leading to a secondary safe zone which is also stocked with provisions and medical equipment.
