I think Anthony Appleyard has a bunch of hospital-related stuff.
I want a badger, but too bad. And a wolverine, but in my dreams. I bought the Meerkat last week to console myself.
One thing I think is very useful: trivial stuff that's low-poly. I recently picked up a free Doorag in Happy Valley, and the dang thing is 6 megs. Now, I dunno what wonderful morphs it has, but 6 megs for a hankie is never gonna get in my libraries, free or not. Sometimes detailing is important. For example, I have a 2 meg tambourine that has brass studs. I could use morphable zills (belly dance cymbals), and if they hit 2 megs, I'd be fine with that.
I use the tambourine in extreme closeups. But for a gypsy camp scene, I'd make zills out off crushed primitives, and I might make the tambourine the same way. When you need a flashlight in a complex scene, it shouldn't cost you 2-5 megs.
