Walker General Hospital



Walker General Hospital was a large hospital in San Francisco. In 1999 Grace Holloway worked there as a cardiologist. The Doctor was brought there after being shot by a criminal gang. After the Doctor died under anaesthesia and his body disappeared from the morgue, hospital administrator Salinger covered up the incident, prompting Grace to quit.

The hospital was particularly significant to the Doctor, as its morgue was the location of his regeneration into his eighth self. The event was apparently traumatic enough that it introduced a phobia of hospitals in the the Doctor's psyche. (EDA: Legacy of the Daleks, Kursaal; DW: New Earth)
