Dr. Suchong's Free Clinic



Dr. Suchong's Free Clinic was a business that operated out of Apollo Square. Jack must visit this location during the events of BioShock.

History
The Free Clinic was set up on the second floor of the Artemis Suites by Dr. Yi Suchong. Similarly to Frank Fontaine's Poor Houses and the Little Sister's Orphanages, the clinic was created more as a business venture than as a genuine act of charity.

Many of the working-class citizens of Apollo Square who could not afford the expenses of the Medical Pavilion came to the Free Clinic seeking first aid and health care. It's suggested that Suchong used the Free Clinic as a place to further his experiments by using his patients as test subjects. What is known is that Suchong experimented on and created Lot 255: the pair bond between Big Daddies and Little Sisters. Suchong believed that the pair bond was not fully functional, but he received a firsthand demonstration of its effectiveness when, in a fit of frustration, he lashed out and struck a Little Sister. In retaliation, the Bouncer in the adjoining room drilled Suchong to his desk, putting an end to the cruel doctor.

BioShock
In an attempt to cure himself of the effects of Code Yellow, Jack journeys to the Clinic of Dr. Yi Suchong to find a dose of Lot 192. When he first arrives at the Artemis Suites, a Nitro Splicer stands outside the clinic guarding the area from intruders. The clinic itself is well protected: a Security Camera positioned on the west wall sounds as soon as one steps through the door, a low slung electric trap wire prevents one from running forward for cover, and a Machine Gun Turret guarding the back forms the final defense.

The central part of the clinic has a waiting area in the front with two couches, a pair of metal bunk beds and a Gene Bank in the back. The eastern room is a converted bathroom and kitchen that served as a surgery wing. It's also a bloody mess, with bodies everywhere. In one of the stalls is the Medical Expert 3 Gene Tonic, but a Leadhead Splicer is playing dead in front of it. The western room contains Suchong's office and a secured test area where he performed the Protection Bond experiment and other tests on Big Daddies. After Jack takes a dose of Lot 192, several Splicers will spawn outside for Jack to deal with.
