Our Lady of Hope Hospital

Our Lady of Hope Hospital is located near Vernon Square Station in the ruins of Downtown DC in the Capital Wasteland. It's a good source for medical supplies and explosives, and it plays a role in the Reilly's Rangers quest.

Layout
There are entrances to the hospital from the Square as well as the dry sewers. A broadcasting antenna has fallen from the hospital into the Statesman Hotel, and the only way to enter the hotel's upper floors is by crawling over the broken antenna.

Ground floor
The ground floor has a large number of super mutants, including at least 2 centaurs and 7 super mutant brutes. With the Broken Steel add-on, you may also encounter a large number of super mutant overlords throughout the building, most of which wield a tri-beam laser rifle.

The terminal that controls the turret system is located in a room in the northeast corner of the hospital lobby.

On the east side of the first floor, there is a locked (average) closet. Unlocking the closet reveals a still-functioning Mister Handy who will proceed to wander the halls and attack centaurs and super mutants, although they will quickly kill him. Also, there are 4 first aid boxes in here, making it worth some of your time.

In the eastern hallway there is an explosive (60 skill) baby carriage at the first ceiling lamp.

In the north end of the building in the lobby are several super mutants, as well as several traps, including:
 * A frag mine next to four fire extinguishers atop a gurney
 * A grenade bouquet in the women's bathroom rigged to a tripwire
 * Both bathrooms have microfusion cell traps built into one of the cisterns that will zap you if you are to drink from the toilet. Both hold plenty of microfusion cells.
 * A room to the north east has 2 working computers, the one closest to the door has a tell-tale rotating sensor atop it, using the back plate of it reveals a frag grenade trap. This trap only activates when you use the front of the computer.
 * On the top stair leading up to the second floor balcony are 2 frag mines (A super mutant will usually detonate these if he runs to attack you)
 * In the staircases several tripwires activate grenade bouquets.

Notable loot

 * Pre-War book can be found on the western counter in the lobby/waiting room on the ground floor.
 * 2 D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine in a room at the South East corner of the hospital, ground floor. Turn northwest as you enter the room and it will be on a table next to the radio, below the clock. The other D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine is on a table in the cafeteria (next to the leaking gas pipe) on the second floor. You can access the second floor from the northwest corner of the main floor.

Appearances
Our Lady of Hope Hospital appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * A player with exactly 60 Explosives skill may not be able to disarm the baby carriage trap; the game will still state that a 60 Explosives skill is necessary.
 * When dropping multiple items at the same time within the Hospital, items beyond the first do not drop as expected but instead appear in the first floor room with the frag grenade computer trap, wall safe and Vernon Square exit.
