Castle Anguish
This is where I work weekends, 6:30 a.m to 7:30 p.m. It has nearly 1,000 beds, each filled with someone who doesn't want to be there tended by caregivers who feel the same. It is an inexorable economic engine largely fueled by poor decisions. Already monstrous, it continues to bloat and swell in synch with the local populace. Its ramparts loom over the surrounding vassalage. It even has a moat.
There hasn't been a study, but I'll bet you could find a direct correlation between number of items consumed from a gas station and number of nights in a hospital bed.
