Goon, wailing upon arriving at Gotham General: I didn't even do anything.

Paramedic: Cops said he knocked one of Robin's baby teeth out.

*Cubicle falls silent*

ER Doctor: Do you realise how lucky you are? The last guy came in with his legs tied in a knot like a goddamn pretzel. How dumb do you got be to hurt a Robin? We have a whole ward for Robin-related injuries. It's full of guys like you who think they can swing on a Boy Wonder.

Goon:

Nurse: I'll call upstairs, see if there's a bed free in the Jason Todd-Wayne Memorial Wing.

Gotham General hospital

“Hi and welcome to Gotham General Emergency where we put the hell in healthcare. We have a variety of areas based on your unique medical needs so listen carefully.

“If you have been exposed or suspected exposed to a toxin, pollen, pheromone, or chemical, go through door number 5 where you will receive a full radiation shower before treatment.

“If you have dehydration, malnutrition, or exposure related to kidnapping or being trapped in a Riddler puzzle for an extended time period, go thru door number 4 where you will get rehydration therapy.

“If you received injuries in an attack, mugging, stabbing, rape, or shooting related to a random thug, go through door number 3. GCPD is available on-site. This is also where you go for Batman related injuries.

“If you were the victim of a supervillain attack not related to chemical exposure then go thru door 2. Note if a goon attacked you during the course of his or her or their job, this door counts for you. If they freelance attacked you, then door number 3.

“If you have a random medical emergency like a broken arm or heart attack then door number 1.

“And finally if you have COVID, get the fuck out because that the least dangerous thing in Gotham and I don’t have anymore masks.

“Welcome to Gotham.”

Welcome to General, Gotham City’s tier one trauma center.

Power is out, fires are burning, transpo is shot, and the calls just keep coming. There are more patients than beds, half presenting with respiratory complications, the other half suffering hallucinogenic psychotic episodes. In every other emergency department in the DCU, this would be a catastrophe.

For Dr. Ava Dastur and the men and women working at General, it’s a Tuesday.

DC Comics is pleased to introduce you to the staff of Gotham General. No capes, no costumes, and don’t call them heroes, this is their job.
