I think Shaenon’s process is she sits down, thinking of what most people would think of as mutually exclusive words, where one word relates to death and mutilation, writes them down, and builds plots around them.
It’s not so much that they’re mutually exclusive that they’re not needed if the deathtrap is properly designed and triggered. It’s only for the amateur or inept deathtraps that the infirmaries are actually useful.
A deathtrap infirmary is more for your Batman TV show “deathtrap”, and doesn’t need to be much more than a fresh, dry costume and maybe a bandage.
So, I realize he can’t bring it up in front of his team, but there’s a very good chance the people at the other end of Tip’s earpiece were not blacked out for those 16 hours.
Also “deathtrap” and “Infirmary” are mutually exclusive.
Alphaghoul: Not when you’re in a war zone and the other side know where all of the hospitals are.
Or if it’s where you repair broken deathtraps.
Or depending on the safety and maintenance of the hospital building.
I think it’s an infirmary for treating the victims of deathtraps

Is this the guy that built those robots from the first story arc?
“Nope.”
“Free Vision Check! Rest your chin here… \/”
“Stick your arm into the orifice for a free blood pressure measurement!”
“Feet” is a perfectly fine measure of blood pressure, right? (And “square feet” would be the corresponding blood volume!)
Video gamers?
D&D players as well. ^_^
I’d take offense if I didn’t know a few players that would actually think like that.
They could all wind up in the shoe maintenance theater.
I am reminded of the Python sketch of the apartment building abbattoir.
“No flying pieces of flesh inconveniencing the passers-by!”
The shoe maintenance theatre is on Youtube. The videos are by The Elegant Oxford.
On the other hand, “murder hospital” is a tautology.
Actually for anyone who’s visited the southermost hospital in New Jersey….
“They told me to emphasize oxymoronic treatment when designing it”
“We said oxytocinic treatment”
“Same diff!”
