Default Muggle Studies Lesson 1: the muggle hospital scene



As you walk inside the Muggle Studies classroom you can't help but notice--Wait a minute. Was? There? Much? To? Notice?

For once, everything appears to be absolutely normal! Too normal. Your desks (yes, desks) (no beanbags) are arranged in a large semi-circle with a couple of amphitheater-type rows that face the front of the classroom. Also in front of the classroom is Professor Schmoe (donned in fuchsia), standing up and reading a copy of The Times. Behind him the chalkboard reads "HELLO and WELCOME" in handwriting that may take a you a few minutes to decipher. He asks that you take a seat and pay no mind to the briefcase underneath your seat. No, seriously for reaaaal. They're locked.

Only the observant eye will notice that the walls are three shades whiter than usual. The observant sniffer may note a faint smell of lemon and bleach in the air. Matter of fact? Just about everything in the room screams "antiseptic".

Did.... the chairs feel slightly stiffer than they usually did? Is the air..... stale?


OOC: sup. welcome to our first MS lesson of the year (ooc). seeing as it is mid-october IC, y'alls students would have had plenty of classes with the Schmoe-bro thus far. while you're here, please take a look at the classroom rules. i'll post in about 15ish (give/take, probably give) hours to officially start the lesson. i am EXCITE. ^^

_____ This lesson has officially begun, post as if you've been here the whole time (unless you're willing to face the consequences)!


Lesson Progress:
+ Greetings, earthlings + Question One
+ Question 1 Responses + Question 2
+ Question 2 Responses + MINI-ACTIVITY
+ Final Activity

Well, this was a pleasant change? Everything was normal. Something about this was just strange. The Ravenclaw prefect was simply not used to this. Taking a seat at one of the desks that were positioned in the semi-circle, he sat there quietly, waiting for something to happen because this was just plain old boring.


Ewan watched as Schmoe started the lesson, his eyes following his as seemed to hit everything whilst walking across the classroom. Yup, he was most certainly one of those accident-prone people who just went through life damage wherever he went.

Laughing a little now, his eyes instantly moving to some of the younger students in the classroom because this was about to get suuuuuper awkward for some of the kiddos in here. At least they didn’t have to have a class talk about the birds and the bees and were instead focusing on just the hospitals although, that would have been hilarious. Maybe he should start up the conversation instead… “Well, if you want to talk about where babies come from, that isn’t technically true. They’re born in hospitals sometimes” Babies could be born in loads of different places. “But muggle hospitals can be used for loads of different things. Generally, they’re there to either prevent illness or to treat illnesses. They have doctors and nurses instead of healers” This was a simple explanation from the Ravenclaw but maybe that would help those who have never actually been to a muggle hospital. He, having been there several times growing up knew a fair bit about them.

Where do babies come from?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF course.... That is probably the most awkward question to ask teenagers. Jillian didn't react that much, she was just confused for a moment and let that question sink in for awhile. There were a lot of possible answer for this, one she thought of was the story about the storks?- that could be a valid answer for Muggle Studies right?... she thinks. She was relieved when he continued his awkward pause with 'hospitals'.

Phew. Close enough.

Now that she thought about it she has never been to a muggle hospital- not even once but she has heard of them. "Hospital is a place where they treat sick and injured muggles. From daily check ups to emergencies" such as pregnancy. Contrary to the horror movies she watched about this odd hospital where the nurses are really creepy and the doctors are quite unstable. Surely she is hoping hospitals are nothing like that during the night shift? Because that would be alarming.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

The door being closed is exactly the way they all knew that class was starting. Claudine watched Schmoe with interest; his awkwardness intrigued her. But that question had her blinking right back. Did he want the actual answer? Why was no one answering? Were they too shocked by the question? But then…

Oh. Hospitals.

Well, really they didn’t always come from hospitals. Babies were sometimes delivered anywhere. But there was Ewan , who was seated beside her saying her thoughts out loud. Claudine hadn’t the intention of doing that, anyway.

She raised her hand and when her turn came said, “I’ve heard that Muggle doctors like to cut their patients open.’’

Literally.

THE BIRDS AND THE BEES?! FOR REAL? Was this really happening? From what Whitney had heard and understood, Hogwarts usually avoided such topics at all costs. This was going to be interesting. Would definitely show who was mature and who was still really a child.

Oh. Hospitals. Should've known by the antiseptic smell. "Ewan's right. Sometimes babies are born in hospitals. Other times they're born in cars, parking lots, on trains, at home....it just depends on the baby and the parents." Unlike Hogwarts, Illvermorny did study this stuff. "Anyways, hospitals also usually have a cafeteria of some sort for those who are visiting a patient, just in case they're there long enough to get hungry....." There might've been a small smirk on her face by the end of that sentence. "....and a gift shop."

They were going to learn about WHAT? Alexandre half considered fleeing the classroom until Professor Schmoe mentioned hospitals. Oh. Okay. That was fine, yes. Nothing terrifying about that. He could talk about hospitals. Before answering he tried to listen to what his other classmates were saying. He was trying to be better at that, listening to other people before jumping in. But he also wasn't very patient so he didn't listen for too long before raising his own hand. "Professor, I don't think muggle hospitals are much different than wizard ones. I mean, sick people go there and the healers make them feel better. It's just that they can't use magic or potions or stuff to heal them." Which was really too bad because it seemed like using magic was a lot easier and helped people get better a lot faster.

His 'not worried' was a normal person's 'very worried'... Maybe.

"I'll err....... Keep that in mind, Bernadette," ha ha ha ha. He laughed awkwardly, quickly turning his attention towards the door.

Fortunately he was too busy setting his newspaper back onto his desk to see the acrobatics she was doing at her desk because ho ho ho, talk about nErVoUs. Didn't need injuries today, no! That would be awfully ironic given their...... SUBJECT MATTER.


Finneas checked his watch one last time, before bumbling his way over to the door and closing it shut. He then bumbumbumbled his way over to the center of the semi-circle, giving the class an unnatural try-hard smile. "Hullo, and er, good afternoooooon," he nodded his head as if agreeing to his own statement.

”Today we are going to answer the age old question: ...... Where do babies come from?” The fettuccine noodle of a man paused for an uncomfortable moment, his eyes scanning the room and blinking rapidly.
”……………………………………”
”……………………………………”
”……………………………………”
He inhaled quite sharply, before continuing the longest pause in human history…. Or close to that. ”That’s right!” His students were so smart, they were all on the same page, surely. ”Hospitals!” Yes. TADA. He looked around for the excitement that was surely gracing all of their faces. ”Specifically Muggle Hospitals, of course,” this was a muggle studies class, after all. Ho, ho, ho.

He waited for all the excitement to settle down before continuing. A nice, open question to get the ping-pong ball rolliiiiiiiiiiing! ”Let’s errrrrrr…… See what you may already know. What can you tell me about Muggle Hospitals or the people who, er, work there?” He looked from one side of the room to the other. Beady eyes glistening with… something.
No need to LAUGH, Schmoe, this was a serious offer from your TA, who looked serious and had a judgmental expression on her serious little face. Bernie sniffed imperiously and poked her glasses further up her nose. She folded her hands in front of her as she took a second to think a rarity! before answering the first question. Did Schmoe, awkward Schmoe, really want to talk about where BABIES came from? She didn't think he had the maturity for this type of conversation... though, granted, Bernie wasn't sure on the details of how babies came about either, so she was just going to go with the generic 'hospital' answer. She finally raised her hand.

"Well, my mum is a Muggle nurse," she answered, "Muggle hospitals have all sorts of wings for different patient needs. Like my mum works with the old people, in the geriatric wing, and before that, she worked with the dying ones, in hospice care." Wasn't that delightful? "Hospitals even have like a MORGUE on site." She knew this because no matter how many times she'd asked to visit it, her mum had refused to take her. She was pretty sure it was in the basement though.

Cassi looked almost horrified but then tried to cover it with the worst smile ever as the strange professor gave her an odd smile. This whole experience was odd to her. And to make matters seem even more odd was the fact the Gryffindor young man didn't seem to even acknowledge her. Of course, it was a classroom and not the hallways.

Cassi's green eyes looked up in horror once more as the professor began to asked where babies came from? Her hands clamped to her face, covering her eyes, or maybe it should have been her ears. What kind of class is this? And then she heard the next question and began to feel a little better. One by one, her fingers began to peal from her face, exposing her questionable expression once again.

Hospitals? She had no idea what that was or who worked there. Quietly, she listened to the answers given and waited to figure out exactly what these things were.

A blushed look immediately filled Isla's face, and she let out a muffled giggle from behind closed lips. A typical eleven-year-old response to the question that had just been asked. A second later, though, the topic had moved on to hospitals, but the first year was still trying her hardest not to giggle. A few deep breaths later, and she was sure she'd stopped the urge to laugh.

Anyway...

She raised her hand, having several things ready to roll off her tongue about muggles and their hospitals. "Well, they obviously don't use magic or have potions, so doctors and nurses use antibiotics or sometimes do surgeries to heal their patients," she said. They'd even had a school nurse at the muggle school she'd attended just last year. She totally avoided mentioning what happens with babies at muggle hospitals. The last thing she wanted to do was start a fit of giggles again.

Naya sat up straighter when the professor began to speak. It was showtime. Class was starting and as always, she wondered what they would be learning today. Naya didn't have to wait long. The professor got straight to the point. Where do babies come from? Say what now? She didn’t know that it was going to be that kind of class.

Whew. Okay, they weren’t really going there. They were just going to talk about muggle hospitals. So what did she know about them? Naya thought for a moment and then raised her hand. “Hospitals have emergency rooms where people go if they need immediate medical attention. The doctors figure out what is wrong with you, treat you and decide whether or not you need to stay in the hospital.” Yes, Naya had had a few experiences with the emergency room.

Phoebe's feet still waved in the air as she kept an eye on her suitcase (briefcase), although she held onto Flynn to keep herself from falling out of her chair completely. It was a little awkward to raise her hand, so she opted to raise her foot instead.

'Cause they were learning about babies from Schmoe. She was going to owl her mother to tell her that the professor was teaching her about where babies came from. That would go over so well. "Oh, professor! I know about hospitals. They can't heal with magic, so people go there when they're sick or wounded and then they just chill out there for a long time until all the beds are full and then they either get kicked out or they die."

Charlie felt horrified to have to have this conversation. Where was this going? What on earth did this actually have to do with educating the young minds of Hogwarts. She seriously couldn’t think of any. But none the less she decided to pipe up. “Some of the people who work there like to heal their wards with wholistic medicine. Like herbs and “ancient” methods. Which is kind of cool.” but now she was concerned for whatever was going to be a part of this class. And why did Schmoe look so worried about all of the students in the room...?

Uhh… All Heath could do was stare in disbelief as Professor Schmoe asked that question. Somebody please tell him this lesson wasn't headed in the direction he thought it was! He squirmed in his seat, growing more uncomfortable the longer that pause went on, but then the professor mentioned hospitals. Blink, blink. That was… not entirely accurate, but it was much less awkward than the alternative so Heath wasn't complaining.

What did he know about muggle hospitals? Heath thought for a minute. He knew they had ridiculously long wait times, for one thing! Like, when his grandpa got injured chopping firewood and had to go to the hospital, it took over six hours for them to call him back.

But somehow, Heath didn't think that was the kind of answer Schmoe was looking for, so he'd have to come up with something else. He thought until something came to him, and his hand went up. "There are different kinds of muggle hospitals," he said after being called on. "Some treat a certain group of people, like childrens' hospitals, for example. Other focus on a specific type of injury or illness, like burns or cancer."

Was it bad that Kaiser didn't even want to give Schmoe grief for the implication that all babies "came from" hospitals? (Not that he was every serious about giving the man grief; Schmoe was... a twitchy, nervous-seeming noodle guy, and Kaiser wouldn't want to add fuel to that fire, as it were. Schmoe just said some... weird things sometimes. Made some incorrect generalisations. Everyone did it, but it was hard to miss with him, and harder to let it slide. Usually.)

Kaiser had been born into the muggle world, but had not been born in a muggle hospital, or indeed been anywhere near one in his life. His experiences with healthcare providers had begun in his teens, once he was fully integrated with the wizarding world. Even then, it had mostly been 'school healer' type interactions. Mostly.

That wasn't to say he knew nothing, however. What Kaiser hadn't experienced himself, he'd heard from his old associates or picked up information about in his reading. Non-academic reading, always.

Kaiser sort of half-dipped his hand into the air. "Stitches," he said quietly, and lowered his hand again.

He didn't need to explain further; Schmoe could pick it up from there. All shortcomings aside, the guy knew his stuff.

Were they really discussing the origin of babies in Muggle Studies? Avalon blinked right back at Professor Schmoe, not knowing whether she should laugh, look confused, or simply ignore it. Thankfully, the professor moved the lesson on relatively quickly.

While Avalon had been raised in a wizarding household, she wasn't a stranger to the Muggle world. Living in the heart of London exposed her to plenty of non-magic folks, and her maternal grandparents were Muggles as well. She recalled visiting her Grandpère in the hospital a few years ago when he was ill with pneumonia. She particularly recalled the much-too-bright lights and weird, antiseptic smell. Kind of similar to the one in the classroom today actually.

She raised her hand, trying to think of something new to add to the discussion. "When my grandfather was in the hospital, they took this weird picture of his chest called an X-ray. The photo came out looking all transparent and showed all his bones and organs." Not exactly the question Professor Schmoe had asked, but she felt like it was interesting to share nonetheless. "Muggles have their own type of healers called doctors and nurses. Doctors are usually the ones that diagnose people, and nurses are kind of like the assistants. They help out with treatments and keeping the person comfortable."

She had been sitting there the entire time and getting ready for class, so when her head of house got started she just stared at him. Oh, professor, poor, poor professor. Older students shouldn't be so immature to laugh, but there were first years and worse third years in here. They were sure to giggle about where babies come from. Even if he meant the hospital, minds of the young.

With all the answers she felt that it was covered, but she did want to give a response not just sit here. Her hand raised and when it was her turn she spoke, "They have a delivery room and once the baby is born the mother stays for a little bit. They could be in a private room or have a roommate. I was actually born in a muggle hospital after my mother and my muggle great-grandma were in a car accident." All on her daddy's birthday too.

A quiet Ah and a nod was a sign of relief, thinking of those places. Her hand raised, "Uh, the hospitals, at least most of them are equipped with Muggle technology to help diagnose and treat the illnesses of people who are patients there..." About the people, there were lots of people to mention that worked in hospitals, and sure many knew about them.

This was his favorite part of every lesson, hearing from his students. Finneas looked around the classroom expectantly, his eyes landing upon Nora's raised hand. He smiled and waited as she began to speak. "Yes, very good," he bobbed his head up and down. Muggle hospitals have many a technology! X-ray machines to see bones, heart monitors to keep track of your, er, heart, computers to keep track of patient files ..... this is the digital age, afterall!" Yes, yes. Very good.

Tom wanted to say something to the Professor to explain their mistake but he didn't fancy getting a detention so he just sat there quietly as the Professor continued to speak until a question was asked.

Tom raised his hand "Well, in a hospital you have to wash your hands and put on some sort of anti-biotic gel before you can visit anyone."

Of course Finneas knew that babies didn't actually come from hospitals. He was a Muggle Studies Professor. He knew they came from storks, duh. Jk. He properly knew, okay. This was all for the funnies. Professors could tell jokes too!!! Though, er, it seemed as this one did not go as well as he had hoped.... AnYwAy.

"Hospitals and those who work within them are meant to keep in tip-top sanitary conditions, yes," he nodded. "Antibiotic gels.... Are not something I have, er, heard of. But they do frequently use hand sanitizers to kill errr hand germs." And germs of other kinds.

'Umm..well, there are different kinds of doctors to attend to different kinds of illnesses. For example, a cardiologist is a heart specialist, an ophthalmologist deals with eye diseases, and a dermatologist deals with skin disorders and all, to name a few..,' she said, raising her hand.

Man, was his joke reALLY that ill received??? Finneas couldn't believe it!

"EXCELLENT!" He looked at her with his beady lil eyes before turning to look at the rest of the class. Did they all hear that?!? "It, er, depends on the size and capacity of the hospital, but most have a variety of doctors with various specialties. Those were great examples." The BRIGHTEST students in all the land.

Laughing a little now, his eyes instantly moving to some of the younger students in the classroom because this was about to get suuuuuper awkward for some of the kiddos in here. At least they didn’t have to have a class talk about the birds and the bees and were instead focusing on just the hospitals although, that would have been hilarious. Maybe he should start up the conversation instead… “Well, if you want to talk about where babies come from, that isn’t technically true. They’re born in hospitals sometimes” Babies could be born in loads of different places. “But muggle hospitals can be used for loads of different things. Generally, they’re there to either prevent illness or to treat illnesses. They have doctors and nurses instead of healers” This was a simple explanation from the Ravenclaw but maybe that would help those who have never actually been to a muggle hospital. He, having been there several times growing up knew a fair bit about them.

Note to self? Do not tell jokes in class. Got it! Finneas did nod, letting Ewan finish before responding to all that the Prefect had to say. "Of course! To say that baby-delivery is one of the only, er, matter that hospitals deal with would be a grand oversimplification." Yes, yes, yes. Finneas had his PhD people. He knew what went down in hospitals.

There were a lot of possible answer for this, one she thought of was the story about the storks?- that could be a valid answer for Muggle Studies right?... she thinks. She was relieved when he continued his awkward pause with 'hospitals'.

Phew. Close enough.

Now that she thought about it she has never been to a muggle hospital- not even once but she has heard of them. "Hospital is a place where they treat sick and injured muggles. From daily check ups to emergencies" such as pregnancy. Contrary to the horror movies she watched about this odd hospital where the nurses are really creepy and the doctors are quite unstable. Surely she is hoping hospitals are nothing like that during the night shift? Because that would be alarming.

"Wonderful errrrr point!" he smiled at Jillian. "When we think of hospitals, we may think about the, er, emergencies... When in fact, they're quite errr regular too. Check up and preventative appointments take place... Consultations... The works!"

Oh. Hospitals.

Well, really they didn’t always come from hospitals. Babies were sometimes delivered anywhere. But there was Ewan , who was seated beside her saying her thoughts out loud. Claudine hadn’t the intention of doing that, anyway.

She raised her hand and when her turn came said, “I’ve heard that Muggle doctors like to cut their patients open.’’

Literally.

.......................... "Uh." Finneas blinked, before quickly correcting himself, "I would er, like is perhaps not the right word... Surgery is not done willy-nilly." He scratched his head, wondering where she had heard this information from??? What were kids talking about these days, honestly? "Just when there is a bigger, internal issue at hand... More often than not, er, requiring very complex methodologies." One did not just snip. Y'know?

Oh. Hospitals. Should've known by the antiseptic smell. "Ewan's right. Sometimes babies are born in hospitals. Other times they're born in cars, parking lots, on trains, at home....it just depends on the baby and the parents." Unlike Hogwarts, Illvermorny did study this stuff. "Anyways, hospitals also usually have a cafeteria of some sort for those who are visiting a patient, just in case they're there long enough to get hungry....." There might've been a small smirk on her face by the end of that sentence. "....and a gift shop."

Finneas was quickly turning a shade of bright pink. This was not how he had hoped his introduction would go over. "Yes, don't worry. I am aware, Ms. Quartermaine," he gave her what was supposed to be a wink, but turned out to be more like an awkward.. blink. Either way, he knew that not all babies were delivered inside hospitals. One because most people knew this it was general knowledge. And two, because he was a smart guy!! Despite the way he looked. And bumbled around rooms. It's not what it looks like!

AnYwAy. "Well........................ yes. Yes they have those too." But....... Cafeterias and gift shops were not the, er, focus of today. But she wasn't wrong?

He could talk about hospitals. Before answering he tried to listen to what his other classmates were saying. He was trying to be better at that, listening to other people before jumping in. But he also wasn't very patient so he didn't listen for too long before raising his own hand. "Professor, I don't think muggle hospitals are much different than wizard ones. I mean, sick people go there and the healers make them feel better. It's just that they can't use magic or potions or stuff to heal them." Which was really too bad because it seemed like using magic was a lot easier and helped people get better a lot faster.

"That is, er, partially true, yes," he nodded in agreement. "But muggle hospitals are often, er, more expansive. Because of the availability of potions and, er, simpler fixes... There isn't a need to have as many specialized healers within wizard healthcare. That and the amount of personnel in general can be cut quite a bit." Magic was a shortcut to most things, honestly. "They're goals may be the, er, same, but the mechanisms and innerworkings can differ quite a bit." Which is essentially what his classmates were getting at.

Did Schmoe, awkward Schmoe, really want to talk about where BABIES came from? She didn't think he had the maturity for this type of conversation... though, granted, Bernie wasn't sure on the details of how babies came about either, so she was just going to go with the generic 'hospital' answer. She finally raised her hand.

"Well, my mum is a Muggle nurse," she answered, "Muggle hospitals have all sorts of wings for different patient needs. Like my mum works with the old people, in the geriatric wing, and before that, she worked with the dying ones, in hospice care." Wasn't that delightful? "Hospitals even have like a MORGUE on site." She knew this because no matter how many times she'd asked to visit it, her mum had refused to take her. She was pretty sure it was in the basement though.

It was very excellent that Bernadette raised this point after Alexandre because it did very well to emphasize some of these differences. "Excellent points," he nodded. "Each wing is filled with doctors and personnel that have been, errrrrr, specially trained to work with certain types of ills and issues." Which was very important when you couldn't just take a pepperup potion and call it a day!

Cassi's green eyes looked up in horror once more as the professor began to asked where babies came from? Her hands clamped to her face, covering her eyes, or maybe it should have been her ears. What kind of class is this? And then she heard the next question and began to feel a little better. One by one, her fingers began to peal from her face, exposing her questionable expression once again.

Hospitals? She had no idea what that was or who worked there. Quietly, she listened to the answers given and waited to figure out exactly what these things were.

If Cassi felt uncomfortable, Finneas had not at all taken notice. He was far too busy not making eye contact. He did, however, glance over her way to notice she was ... listening. Hopefully.

A few deep breaths later, and she was sure she'd stopped the urge to laugh.

Anyway...

She raised her hand, having several things ready to roll off her tongue about muggles and their hospitals. "Well, they obviously don't use magic or have potions, so doctors and nurses use antibiotics or sometimes do surgeries to heal their patients," she said. They'd even had a school nurse at the muggle school she'd attended just last year. She totally avoided mentioning what happens with babies at muggle hospitals. The last thing she wanted to do was start a fit of giggles again.

At least someone had gotten the joke. That was all he needed to qualify it as a success. "Antibiotics," he nodded, echoing her sentiment. "Often come in the form of small tablets," he demonstrated a small width with his fingers. "Used to treat bacterial infections.... Unfortunately, overuse of antibacterial medicines can lead to bacterial resistance, making it exceedingly difficult to--AnYwAy. That is a conversation for another day." He was getting ahead of himself.

The professor got straight to the point. Where do babies come from? Say what now? She didn’t know that it was going to be that kind of class.

Whew. Okay, they weren’t really going there. They were just going to talk about muggle hospitals. So what did she know about them? Naya thought for a moment and then raised her hand. “Hospitals have emergency rooms where people go if they need immediate medical attention. The doctors figure out what is wrong with you, treat you and decide whether or not you need to stay in the hospital.” Yes, Naya had had a few experiences with the emergency room.

"The EMERGENCY ROOM!" Excellent, very very very good. He smiled bigtime. "Should one find themselves in an unfortunate circumstance and need immediate attention, emergency rooms are usually open tweeeeenty-four seven 'round the clock." It was a wonderful feature, in his opinion. Though, he had never needed one himself. He had gone on fieldtrips.

'Cause they were learning about babies from Schmoe. She was going to owl her mother to tell her that the professor was teaching her about where babies came from. That would go over so well. "Oh, professor! I know about hospitals. They can't heal with magic, so people go there when they're sick or wounded and then they just chill out there for a long time until all the beds are full and then they either get kicked out or they die."

Finneas called on the next raised foot in the--wait, what? He blinked a few times just to make sure his eyes were not deceiving him. "............. Ms. James........... Please, er, sit properly." This was making him nervous ????????? And as for her answer....... Again, Finneas really wanted to know where they were getting all of this information from because it was...... questionable. "Errrrr.... Well.... A good hospital would hopefully avoid that circumstance." Because..... That was..... Not ideal. "Though if, er, they are understaffed and have a high volume of patients, the hospital may, er, reach capacity."

Which is kind of cool.” but now she was concerned for whatever was going to be a part of this class. And why did Schmoe look so worried about all of the students in the room...?

Evidently there was a time and place to make awkward and uncomfortable jokes and this was neither the time nor the place. Yes. Got it. "There are some hospitals that do encourage alternative medicines," he... agreed with mild reluctance. "But, er, I would say that is .... far more common in an individual private practice, as opposed to... a hospital."

That was… not entirely accurate, but it was much less awkward than the alternative so Heath wasn't complaining.

What did he know about muggle hospitals? Heath thought for a minute. He knew they had ridiculously long wait times, for one thing! Like, when his grandpa got injured chopping firewood and had to go to the hospital, it took over six hours for them to call him back.

But somehow, Heath didn't think that was the kind of answer Schmoe was looking for, so he'd have to come up with something else. He thought until something came to him, and his hand went up. "There are different kinds of muggle hospitals," he said after being called on. "Some treat a certain group of people, like childrens' hospitals, for example. Other focus on a specific type of injury or illness, like burns or cancer."

"Very good," Finneas was always impressed by the depth of knowledge his students had. So smart. Much intelligence. It was absolutely groovy. "In the same way that hospitals have specialized wings and errr doctors, there are also specialized hospitals too." He would elaborate, but Heath covered the major points. Honestly, honestly.

SPOILER!!: Kaiser

Schmoe just said some... weird things sometimes. Made some incorrect generalisations. Everyone did it, but it was hard to miss with him, and harder to let it slide. Usually.)

Kaiser had been born into the muggle world, but had not been born in a muggle hospital, or indeed been anywhere near one in his life. His experiences with healthcare providers had begun in his teens, once he was fully integrated with the wizarding world. Even then, it had mostly been 'school healer' type interactions. Mostly.

That wasn't to say he knew nothing, however. What Kaiser hadn't experienced himself, he'd heard from his old associates or picked up information about in his reading. Non-academic reading, always.

Kaiser sort of half-dipped his hand into the air. "Stitches," he said quietly, and lowered his hand again.

He didn't need to explain further; Schmoe could pick it up from there. All shortcomings aside, the guy knew his stuff.

Finneas looked at Kaiser with eager anticipation. Stitches. Yes. He waited for the rest. And waited and waited and WaItEd some more. But the rest never came and Finneas continued waiting for a minute longer, before taking an audible breath to fill the silence. "Sometimes a cut or injury errr requires stitches in order to heal properly..... and... a hospital is a place where they do stitches... Yes."

SPOILER!!: Avalon

While Avalon had been raised in a wizarding household, she wasn't a stranger to the Muggle world. Living in the heart of London exposed her to plenty of non-magic folks, and her maternal grandparents were Muggles as well. She recalled visiting her Grandpère in the hospital a few years ago when he was ill with pneumonia. She particularly recalled the much-too-bright lights and weird, antiseptic smell. Kind of similar to the one in the classroom today actually.

She raised her hand, trying to think of something new to add to the discussion. "When my grandfather was in the hospital, they took this weird picture of his chest called an X-ray. The photo came out looking all transparent and showed all his bones and organs." Not exactly the question Professor Schmoe had asked, but she felt like it was interesting to share nonetheless. "Muggles have their own type of healers called doctors and nurses. Doctors are usually the ones that diagnose people, and nurses are kind of like the assistants. They help out with treatments and keeping the person comfortable."

Finneas smiled at Avalon as she explained. His smile was somewhat unnatural looking, but at least he was working on it, y'know? Like all things, improvement would come with time. He wasn't even 40 yet. There was pLENTY of time. "Excellent description of the X-ray," he nodded.

SPOILER!!: Chloe

Even if he meant the hospital, minds of the young.

With all the answers she felt that it was covered, but she did want to give a response not just sit here. Her hand raised and when it was her turn she spoke, "They have a delivery room and once the baby is born the mother stays for a little bit. They could be in a private room or have a roommate. I was actually born in a muggle hospital after my mother and my muggle great-grandma were in a car accident." All on her daddy's birthday too.

Finneas did not know how to respond to this. He was not a sympathetic person by nature. So, er, this new knoweldge about Chloe's life made him feel slightly uncomfortable and instead of adding to her answer like he normally would have, Finneas just paused in front of her desk and gave her the world's most awkward smile before.... er... moving on.

AnYwAY. That was fun.

It was time to move on now, and Schmoe took to the center of the room again, staring at a spot on the wall behind the rows of desks. "Thank you everyone, for your errrr contributions." They were all excellent. Except for ... some. "As you may have realized by now, hospitals are home to many-a-tasks and resources." Specialized doctors, technologies galore, and errrrrr all the other things they mentioned. "Now that we've, er, covered some of the various aspects of hospitals..... Let's delve more into the whys and hows."

He stuffed his hands deep into his pockets, shifting his balance from one foot to the other. "Some of you touched upon some potential treatments, but let's consider errr some more of those." Yes? Yes? YES? "Using what we now know about resources available in hospitals, what kind of issues or injuries can we think of that may, er, warrant a hospital visit? Can you think of any specific scenarios?" He paused for a long moment. "And how may a muggle doctor treat the patient in that specific case?"

OOC: wooo! y'all are gr8. Second question is up and i'll move us along in 24+ hours.

Kaira beamed at the Prof. She was glad that the Head of her House had found her answer interesting.

She raised her hand again. 'There was this time that I had a fracture on my arm. We went to an orthopaedic surgeon. He put a cast over my arm,' she indicated to her elbow. 'Which umm..repositions your broken bones in the umm..right way, so they can heal,' she continued.

'Different kinds of doctors use different equipments to treat different symptoms..for example, an orthodontist may put braces on your teeth to straighten them,' she added.

Tom looked at the Professor, seriously what was this talk about hospitals about, why couldn't they just go on a trip to one... He would break the Professors leg in the name of science... if it meant getting a free trip to Hospital... Well he wouldn't do his own leg because it would hurt but surely the Professor wouldn't mind.

Tom was thinking about that when the Professor asked another question. He raised his hand "Professor, if you break your leg... you go to hospital and they sort it and you use crutches or a wheelchair." He had broken an ankle playing football once and was on crutches for weeks.

For Flynn's part, he was actually disappointed this wasn't about actual babies. He knew all of that. He had one at home! Well, his mum and her boyfriend Fintan had one, his little brother Zane. But he had learned all about all of that stuff even before Zane was born because there were lots of babies born in his family, cousins and stuff, and his mum had shown him books and really he felt like a pro so it was a shame, he thought, that they were telling about hospitals instead. He absently reached his hand out to keep Phoebe steady in her seat with a sort of practiced air that suggested he had needed to do so several hundred times in the past twelve years and nodded sagely in agreement with her answer. Yep. All of that.

Flynn put his hand up (the one not currently bracing Fifi's shoulder). "Wouldn't muggles go to their hospitals for anything that we would go to a magic hospital for? Being sick or hurt and not being able to get better at home? Except muggle healer people use technology and science to make people better, not spells and potions."

dream until your • dreams come true ~ Human pygmy puff

Naya was trying to figure out where the professor was going with the hospital theme. Were they going to role play a hospital situation with doctors and nurses and patients? It was always fun to guess. In the meantime, there was another question to be answered. There were so many possible answers, but Naya settled on one in particular.

After raising her hand, she gave her personal experience answer. “You could go to the hospital if you had a very deep cut. The doctor would give you stitches. Then you would have to go back later and have the stitches removed.” Yes, she had been there, done that. Cut, blood, stitches. Just one of her many hospital experiences.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Claudine shrugged. Hey, she was, as mentioned earlier, rubbish at Muggle Studies. The only parts of the lesson that she sometimes shined at were the activities. She proceeded to make jottings of answers Schmoe didn’t seem to have a problem with.

As she listened to the lesson’s progression and trying to filter out all the ‘er’s, she pondered on the next questions. “Stomach bug,’’ Claudine began and lowering her hand. “Um… maybe they’re treated with something like a potion?”

Listen. This Snakette really had no idea about how stomach bugs were treated by Muggles.

Oooh, were they going to get injured today? Or maybe they had to play doctor on each other, and that's what was inside the briefcases? Doctor equipment, like stethoscopes???

Bernie agreed with Flynn the Vomithead's answer about 'any injury.' But since she was being the good TA that she was, she played along with Schmoe, and raised her hand to name a highly specific injury. "People go to the hospital for avocado hand, sir, which is when they think they know how to cut the avocado open, and take out the pit with their knife but instead they misjudge their knife skills and they cut their hand open. I've seen it happen. It's gruesome." Her brother had an awesome scar on his hand now, the big idiot. "So you want to get a Muggle doctor who's good at sewing to do your stitches to minimize scarring. Like ideally a plastic surgeon."

SPOILER!!: Catch-up
Learning about where babies come from? Cecelia raised her eyebrows and was ABOUT to share that she already knew, but it seemed they were only talking about hospitals. Muggle ones, at that. What did she know about muggle hospitals? Well.. "They have this REALLY clean smell. Like, almost too clean. It makes my nostrils burn, honestly."


The next question was SUPER simple to answer 'cause Schmoe had already given them a response. "Professor, you could go to the hospital so the doctors and nurses can help deliver your baby." See? She'd been listening! "They have all sorts of machines and stuff to make sure the mum and baby are safe during the WHOLE thing and medicine for the pain too, I think." Not that women HAD to take medicine for that stuff 'cause women were STRONG and TOUGH and could do without it, too. Probably. She was guessing.

See? SEE? Schmoe had it covered. He knew his stuff. Look at him schmoe go.

Naturally, though, there were more questions. As soon as Schmoe asked the one about what afflictions might warrant a hospital visit, one word flashed in Kaiser's mind, small but bright. Breakdown. He shook his head, tried to banish the thought and think of something else, and how it might be treated. Breakdown. But everything he could think either was a bit too much for a classroom setting, with all these kids around- breakdown -or was something he wasn't really sure had a treatment. Or, if he knew it did, he didn't know what said treatment was. Breakdownbreakdownbreakdown.

Again, Kaiser shook his head, slightly more aggressively this time. Irritating brain; he'd give it 'breakdown' in a minute.

Well, no other thoughts were coming to him, so Kaiser decided to just keep his mouth shut this time. It was generally the wisest course of action for him to take. Back to you, Schmoe.

Giving his fellow Ravenclaw (Whitney Jo) a small nod and smile as she agreed with his answer, his attention now turned back to his head of house, his head slightly tilted in bemusement. He wasn’t sure what Schmoe had expected as an answer but he couldn’t help but be slightly amused at some of the responses and obvious embarrassment that was around the room.

With an expression that could only be described as unamused, he just put up his hand and answered the question as bluntly as he possibly could “Car crashes”, his voice low and husky. This was not something he really did not want to talk about but the urge to at least give an answer was just a little too much to ignore.
