protect the hospital function only in the human realm, and because Eidolon knew he'd need to employ humans, and humans couldn't use Harrowgates to travel to the hospital if it were located in Sheoul.
Underworld General uses the same modern equipment, supplies, and techniques known to human medicine. Eidolon stays as current as he can, and he actively recruits ter'taceo to attend human medical schools to ensure he always has enough staff. Educated, trained staff mem bers are responsible for training those who can't pass as humans in medical schools. Because most demons can't attend medical school—and because some demons are natural or mystical healers—he doesn't require his staff to have medical degrees to work at UG, but he does require that they be adequately trained and skilled.
Demon medicine provides a challenge unlike any other. Every demon species' physiology is unique, and every doctor's talents and skills are just as unique. For the most part, Eidolon and his staff are learning as they go.
To aid in the learning process, every new species or breed that is admitted into the hospital is given a thorough examination, X-rays, blood and genetic tests... basically, Eidolon insists that every demon be catalogued and stud ied. All demons are also asked to donate blood for the bank.
Running an operation such as Underworld General is expensive, as one would guess. Though Eidolon was able to raise funds for the initial costs through his family con nections, coming up with additional funding required creativity... and Wraith.
Wraith's suggestion to "squeeze the patients" was immediately met with resistance, but Shade had quickly come around. Though most demons can't pay with money, they can pay with favors specific to their breed or their occupation. The barter system works, but it brings in only a small percentage of the income needed to run the hospital.
A large percentage of funding comes from a by-prod uct of Wraith's job, which is to gather ancient artifacts and magical items for hospital use. Extras and anything that can't be used to cure patients is sold on the legitimate and black markets.
Wraith's other suggestion, to "squeeze wealthy fucks," was one Eidolon agreed to right away. The human world is crawling with ter'taceo who use their underworld con nections to gain wealth and power, and after a little of Eidolon's convincing and Wraith's "squeezing," they've been more than happy to donate to a worthy cause like Underworld General.
