Stripe General Hospital
The Medicine of McSkunkville
Born: First patient: a bridge builder; first bill: forgiven
Model: White wings, warm lights, no man turned away
Role: Heals first, papers later — Chief of Medicine: Dr. Amity Grace Okafor
Dr. Okafor's rule is posted in every ward: NO FORCED MEDICINE, EVER — consent is the first treatment. The town swears the coffee in the lobby has healing properties. The nurses neither confirm nor deny.
Over the entrance: FIRST, DO RIGHT.
Worldwide Access — Stripe General Hospital around the world
First tier of a 38,000-city worldwide rollout — every page its own story.
