Beaulac Clinic
-Trinton Division File Report
Beaulac Clinic was founded in
2116 by Dr. Desmond McManus, who studied medicine at the Montressor
Clinic under Dr. Zweidler himself. Dr. McManus served his internship
with distinction on the Ganymede Orbital Station Lucien
before transferring to Luna to establish the Moon's largest Æsculapian
clinic.
The clinic is named after Dr. Alison Beaulac, one of the first
Æsculapian psions, who was killed in the Esperanza disaster.
as a tribute to her service and memory, Dr. McManus dedicated
the clinic in her honor at a ground breaking ceremony. attendees
included Proxy Zweidler, Qin ambassadors and many other representatives
of the governments and orders of Earth. ISRA Proxy Herzog also
made a rare appearance at the ceremony. The key note address
of the day was given by Dr. Zweidler, transcribed as follows:
"We
gather here in a place our ancestors could never have imagined
us standing. We are here through the wonders of technology, the
imaginations of architects and engineers, and the hard work and
dedication of countless men and women. These visionaries have
lifted us to the skies almost literally on their backs.
"But we would not be here today without sacrifice as well.
The sacrifice of good people, hardworking people, talented people
- people like Dr. Alison Beaulac. It would be pointless for me
to list the hurts she salved, the lives she saved, the patients
she gave of herself to heal. That form of tribute would do her
work a

disservice.
Instead I give you the Alison Beaulac memorial Clinic, the truest
form of memorial that can be made to a dearly missed doctor,
partner and friend. Here, under the watchful care of psions and
doctors inspired by the same spirit that moved Dr. Beaulac, more
lives can be saved, more people can be healed - as Alison herself
would have done, had she been given more time. Remember her,
or someone you know like her as you enter these doors."
Today, Beaulac Clinic is the largest hospital on Luna, even though
the Æsculapian Order still maintains its administrative
offices in Yutu Tunchon. Run with the direct assistance of the
Moontressor Clinic in Switzerland, Beaulac Clinic has over 30
major satellite clinics in every part of Olympus and in surrounding
Lunar settlements. The Clinic also sponsors the Doc Hopper,
a mobile hospital that flies from outpost to outpost all over
Luna, providing emergency medical care.
The clinic itself has 11 levels, enabling it to provide care
for any sort of illness or injury. Furthermore, its corps of
psions and doctors is on call 24 hours a day for on site or remote
work, including rescues, emergencies and counseling. Supported
by contributions from patients, the Zweidler Foundation and from
the Olympus government, the clinic is able to provide services
to the entire Lunar population, and maintains a thriving research
wing devoted to furthering the frontiers of modern medical knowledge.
Beaulac Clinic even offers tours for those who want to meet vitakinetics
out of curiosity, not necessity. The tours are offered every
hour on the hour from 0900 to 1400 LST, Monday through Friday. |
