Points of Interest[]

Cardiff Royal Infirmary: The Cardiff Royal Infirmary is a hospital situated in the heart of Cardiff, Wales. The hospital began with the beginning of Cardiff Dispensary in 1822. In the Spring of 2006, members of the alien race known as the Raxacoricofallapatorians representing the Slitheen family staged a faux U.F.O. crash landing in the heart of London. Members of the Unified Intelligence Taskforce recovered a body from the wreckage and took it to the Cardiff (referred to as Albion Hospital). This incident sparked the interest of the Ninth Doctor, who went to the hospital to analyze the staff's findings. He learned that the Slitheen had conducted genetic enhancements on a regular Earth pig to make it look like an alien. ^[1]
