Mongoose, and eventually almost half the Chicago team, did volunteer
work at a similar clinic in Chicago's Noose. Of course, with no legal
status, the work was risky- OTOH, it was the easiest way to get good
medical care in the noose, and the contacts came in quite handy. It
also was a great plot hook to get us involved with some awful event or
another- we were essentially part time freelance, unliscened, FRT
paramedics in the noose working for a community (or otherwise?) funded
clinic that got its start in the mess ensuing the Sears tower blowup,
the night of rage, and the fact that most hospitals were unwilling to
admit those with no proven SIN.
