What I worked IN
Though Nissen-Hut was a fairly good-sized hospital, we didn't always recieve everything we needed. Lots of hospitals didn't. Infact we were seeing close to 1000 patients a day, with a 834 bed capacity. Looking back, we probably would have been accused of countless health violations, but we saved lives.
The Hospital

-every 4 buildings was considered a ward
-group of buildings farthest from main war were cabins for employees
-specialized wards for burn, shock, disease, and amputation patients
-buildings sectioned off for eating, laundry, weaponry, and storage
