It just occurred to me...

...that I can't remember if the infirmary rooms have earth doors or not. Like, in my mind, they sectioned off rooms in the infirmary that have actual honest-to-goodness doors in them, not activated by the hand thingies (because if you're sick or injured and can't somehow get to those, having a door that's already wide open is a boon... plus putting myself in the shoes of a medical professional, the last thing I want to do is make it possible for doors to malfunction and someone die on the other side when I could have just turned a knob and gotten inside, you know?). But we've seen a lot of the infirmary, beds and the like, and while a lot of the heavy-duty stuff was done in 'labs' (like the exploding tumor surgery, Michael's transformations, Ronon's detox, etc.), there are scenes (such as in Echoes) where we see hospital beds and people are clearly in rooms. Can I make up an area of the infirmary where people who need to be there for longer than a few days are in rooms with real earth doors, or do I have to edit what I've already written to take out the 'door is half open,' 'he kicks the door shut' kinds of references?

Help me, Obi Wan Friends List, you're my only hope!

I may be wrong...

The only doors I can remember are the Atlantean ones when the city was in lockdown and Ronon and Jennifer are trying to get out by exploding oxygen bottles...That was the infirmary, wasn't it?

But you could put earth doors in with the reference that the infirmary/longer term ward area has Atlantean doors around the whole are so that it can be locked down...

Yeah--the thing is, I can't remember if there are many scenes with one bed by itself in a room, which I would assume there are in their infirmary, but we've just never seen them. If we haven't, and have only seen multiple beds for brief stays, then my writing single rooms with earth doors as a sort of compartmented thing that the expedition mocked up won't be too crazy.
