I'm going to post all the memos (It might take me awhile):
Public Note:
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Currently the second and third floors of the hospital are undergoing renovations. At this time they are closed to patients and visitors. Work continues in earnest and the hospital management thanks you for your continued cooperation as we try to minimize the disruption. We estimate the construction will be completed within six months.
The restructuring of the third floor will almost double our capacity for inpatients and introduce cleaner, more modern facilities.
Here at Alchemilla, the quality of care we provide to you, our valued patient, is of the utmost importance
Dr. Philips
Chairman of Alchemilla Board
-----------------------------
Doctor's Diagnosis:
Preliminary Diagnosis
Third degree burns, patient is unconscious... Something has prevented damaged spreading to the internal organs... Tissue damage is limited to the epidermis and extremities of the limbs...
How is this possible?
---------------------------------------------------
Hurried Note:
(Parts of this note are obscured.)
Worry not. --------- -- ----- ---- -- -- --------. I have used the ------ to contain her power. No one will come to her aid. ----- -- --- ---- one of the five ------. Hide them. Protect them.
--------
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bloody Note:
This heart of mine troubles me with its trembling! To still it I have put it on ice and locked it away.
(Remember, the three beauties who cause it to pump are the key, 'age before beauty').
---------------------------------------------
Student's Mnemonic:
Having trouble with your anatomy class? Find that getting them out is much easier than putting them back in? Just remember this easy mneomonic:
Inside Stevie, little Henry lurks.
--------------------------------------------------
Staff Notice:
CONSTRUCTION!
As you know, the renovations to the upper floors have run into problems! The plumbing leak and substandred materials used have forced us to close off the third floor until further notice. We are reminded of the familiar adage: 'you get what you pay for!' We now face six more months of work, reducing our capacity for the coming year. We will have to cut spending on inpatient care and consultancy fees by 50%.
Therefore we ask doctors to refrain from committing patients and encourage home stays instead. Unless they're dying in your arms, don't book 'em in!
STAFF PARTY!
Worry not! The staff party is still on (our recreation budget is locked away where no one can tamper!) Everyone meet at Annie's Bar at 8pm on Friday, Alcohol (medicinal of course!) and food will be free. Arrive early to grab a trainee nurse: they go quick!
------------------------------------------------
Staff Memo:
To all staff,
It is forbidden to enter my office unaccompanied until further notice.
Dr. Kaufmann

'Magpie' Note:
Dr. Harris,
Our 'magpies' have been at it again. This time they SWALLOWED the d**n keys for the Archives and the Basement.
Don't worry... Gary has taken Mr. Magpie to the TB Ward and I'm taking Mrs. Magpie to hydrotherapy. We'll make them spit the keys out!
This job would be great if it weren't for the patients!

Iron Lung Warning:
OUT OF USE
In light of the recent accident I am barring the use of the iron lung equipment. This applies to all staff, including senior nurses. Patient deaths during therapy are not to be treated lightly. I find it hard to believe that someone could 'accidentally' overload every valve on the equipment and so, until the enquiry has been concluded, I must assume the equipment itself is at fault. These precautions are essential -- we owe a duty of care to all of out patients, even the difficult ones.
Dr. Harris

Status Reprt, 2/7/1961:
Patient: Mrs. ----- -----
Age: 35
Examining Doctor: Dr. Harris
Notes: Mrs. -----'- condition has degraded dramatically in the last few months. Her fantasies of a "mirror world" have become more acute, and she spend more and more time in an apparent catatonic state. She claims that during this time she is in the "otherworld."
She now has full recollection of her attack on her son, but shows no remorse for the incident. Indeed she seems proud, almost smug of her attempted filicide! I am worried that this behavior could be a side effect of the increased doses of Epolineum that the patient has been presribed. I have asked fo her dose to be halved and hope to see positive results shortly.

Amber Incident Report:
AMBER INCIDENT REPORT
Reproting Staff Member: Simons
Incident Description: A male child entered into the sanitarium unchallenged and got through into the female seclusion (doors were left unlocked). He entered Remale Seclusion Room 5, at which point Orderly Michaels observed him and alerted me. The boy was the child of a visitor and was taken way by his father.
Failures: The doors to Female Seclusion were left unlocked by the orderly, and the stff in the lobby failed to notice the boy when he arrived in the mezzanine area. Recommendation: All staff to be reminded of the importance of locking ward doors. Review of staff to be conducted by duty managers.
---------------------------------------------
Patient Notes:
The new patient, Helen Grady arrived today. I was surprised to see how calm and well behave she was.
After reading her notes, I was worried that she might be something of a handful. The woman is in complete denial and claims no recollection of the incident which saw her committed. Indeed, she has asked repeatedly to be allowed to see her son! I have agreed with her husband that it is best that the boy be kept away from his mother. While there seems little hope for any long term recovery, I look forward to spending some time with Mrs. Grady -- her condition is most fascinating.

WHY ARE YOU HELPING HER, TRAVIS? DID YOU SEE THAT NURSE?

Artaud Theater
====================
Theater Program Page:
...folk legends. Take the costume for Caliban. The designer Bill Ortega has taken a native buffalo spirit, fusing it with the stark, iconic image seen in the ancient local cult of Valtiel. His set design for its dark, cavernous cave was inspired by 'Owl Cave', a local historical--

Technician's Warning:
Peter,
Good luck getting ANYTHING to work. This place was wired by IDIOTS! The safety curtain is on the same circuit as the spotlights. If a light blows, the whole thing fuses and you can't move the safety curtains. IDIOTS. Safety inspectors would blow a fuse (literally!) if they saw this stuff. Wouldn't happen in the city! See you when I get back.
