Over the past 4 days, I would have to say my favorite place we have visited as a class was Hospital in the Rock. Hospital in the Rock was built in a cave and used as a running hospital during WWII. The need for the hospital was unbelievable. Due to their high demand, the hospital has terrible working conditions and patient conditions. They were over capacity by 500 people causing the hositpal to be over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (that’s as hot as a hot tub). Over capacity caused improper space between people causing widespread bacteria, increased temperature, and being forced to reuse materials. To further explain, the employees of the hospital were forced to reuse gauze and bandages from dead bodies. I couldn’t imagine personally experiencing this.

I don't know how anyone could have ever handled the temperatures. It makes me wonder if any patients died from the heat down there.
