The Hospital For Historical Ailments is a specialized institution for patients stricken with maladies of prior historical periods. It's difficult enough, after all, to have dropsy or the vapors without suffering the social stigma of having an "extinct" illness and the smug superiority and raised eyebrows of modern physicians who will very likely mime silent "cuckoo" gestures behind your back. The HFHA is sympathetic to these concerns and to the special needs, both medical and psychological, of individuals who find themselves dealing with diseases and conditions many ignorantly assumed had gone the way of the dodo. An imbalance of humors? Neuralgia? Consumption? The HFHA may be just what the barber ordered.
