Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Scootaloo didn’t know what was worse right now. Suffering through almost three months of camp fever because of one bowl of water, or having to constantly visit the same hospital that featured rude staff like Nurse Coldheart.

Every memory Scootaloo had of that place, wasn’t very good. Even if there was sympathetic people like Nurse Kindheart, and Doctor Stable Hoof (who Scootaloo still couldn’t believe was never potty trained), every visit ended in tears and with her crying for her new mother, Fluttershy.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had finally tied the knot, and agreed to resume the sessions of baby and caretaker they had indulged in from time to time in the past.

But that constantly took a back seat, to the numerous medical visits Scootaloo had to go through.

“Why do I have to keep these painful procedures?” Scootaloo complained, fresh tears in her eyes, as Fluttershy carried her home “I hate that hospital with a burning passion! Why haven’t they been shut down yet?!”

“Scootaloo, Dashie and I are trying our best to save up enough money, so we can move back home. But for right now, we have to make do with what we have,” Fluttershy said, as she tried her best to calm down her crying daughter “This time, the endoscopy results should efficent enough for us to know when your body will be ready to start potty training again.”

“You said that the last few times, and they’ve always produced the same results!” Scootaloo complained once more “As long as it’s from that hospital, they’re going to keep getting the results mixed up because they keep hurting me! I thought you said, doctors and nurses took an oath not to cause their patients harm?! Why don’t those quacks follow that oath?!”

Fluttershy just sighed, and shook her head “I don’t know, Scootaloo. I really don’t know. All we can do is wait. And I promise you, that if we get the same results from this endoscopy as all the other endoscopies, we are NEVER going back to that hospital again. Doctor Stable Hoof actually told me that he and Nurse Kindheart are hoping to transfer somewhere else, and that the medical board is sending one of their own to re-evaluate the hospital.”

Scootaloo cheered “I hope they shut that place down, throw all those quacks out on the street, and burn it to the ground! They deserve it for everything they’ve done to me!”

“Scootaloo, you know that Rainbow Dash and I don’t like hearing that sort of stuff coming out of your mouth,” Fluttershy scolded, as she reached the house she and her wife were sharing “Even if that hospital is a bad place, we don’t wish bad things onto other people. They have lives as well.”

Deep Injection was anything but pleased with what he observed when he entered “Molisan General Hospital”. Everything was a mess.

Doctors, nurses, and surgeons, were rushing about to try and tend to patients, or wheel them into operating rooms.

Several of the hospital staff were disregarded the no smoking signs, which only placed more unnecessary stress onto the lungs of sick patients.

The sound of children crying, and parents yelling at the staff behind the desk, was almost deafening.

And to top it all off, it seemed that Doctor Stable Hoof was not the only one wearing diapers. Apparently, the workload was so massive and so piled up, that the hospital staff had no time for bathroom breaks.

“What kind of crackpot excuse for a hospital is this?!” Deep Injection bellowed angrily “I demand to speak with Doctor Muffin Top, he has a lot of explaining to do!”

“Sir, it’s not my fault, I’m trying my best,” Doctor Muffin Top pleaded, as Deep Injection lodged complaint after complaint at him “We’re facing a serious budget crunch and have had to cut back on our staff to make room for the new medical equipment! We’re trying our best!”

Deep Injection only shook his head “Then why have you not fired Nurse Coldheart?! I don’t care what sort of connections she has, she has proven to be incompetent and has shown a complete disregard for bedside manner and the Hippocratic Oath! She is a bad influence not only to this hospital, but to all the medical students interning here!”

“Things will get better, I swear! I’ve got some promising returns from overseas investments, they’ll be arriving any day now!” Doctor Muffin Top insisted.

But Deep Injection only replied with “You’ve given me that very excuse countless times already, and it hasn’t arrived! I have no choice but to shut down this hospital, and dismiss you, Nurse Coldheart, and most of the remaining staff! Doctor Stable Hoof and Nurse Kindheart have already managed to find work at other hospitals in Naples, so I suggest you start looking, and hope that this experience doesn’t completely ruin your resume!” And with that, Deep Injection stormed out of the office.

“I knew it was a mistake to let inexperienced medical school graduates run a major hospital!” Deep Injection grumbled to himself “Am I the only sane individual on the board?!”
