Overview

The premiere hospital world in Confedus, Rheeds is covered in hives and massive hospital complexes that serve hordes of refugees, guard units rotated off fronts, and the throngs of Rheeds's lower hivers constantly sick from radiation and pollution. Large transport ships frequently travel from other worlds selling passage to the desperate who can pay in an attempt to get treatment (though occasionally those who believe they're heading to Rheeds end up slaves or indentured servants), as do Ecclesiarchy outreach vessels who carry devout pilgrims seeking aid and well to do nobles seeking the latest treatment or cosmetic procedures. The best doctors and chirurgeons of Rheeds are incredibly skilled and renowned to be able to treat just about anything, though they're reserved for the wealthiest or most connected individuals, whereas the worst doctors (who may either accidentally treat the patient successfully or remove a lung to try to stop foot pain) treat the bulk of menials. Still, Rheeds massive hospitals have proven crucial in fighting the tide of plagues Nurgle's followers spread in Eternum, and their tithe consisting of skilled doctors, medical staff, and the much loved Weisscoat Regiments who, clad in the long white trenchcoats and protective gear, cleanse and purity toxic and biological hazards on the battlefields across Eternum. Rheeds is governed by the Medicae Council, who direct the flow of resources to different medical hives, and ensure the non-hospital hives (which mostly contain the famed medicae scholas) remain safe and productive. So famed are the doctors of Rheeds, on more than one occasion the apothecaries of the Crimson Bulwark have shared research notes on different diseases (carefully omitting that could prove too dangerous to know).
