The Bikini Bottom Hospital is the main hospital in Bikini Bottom that appears throughout the series. It is first mentioned in "Boating School" and makes its first physical appearance in "Suds."

About[]

Description[]

Exterior[]

The exterior of the hospital, unlike its interior, has not changed much if at all. The exterior contains an arch, designed to appear as one-half of a lifesaver, with the word "Emergency" written on it. The main makeup of the building is basically a wooden cube. Expenditures, such as windows and blue building-like extensions, are present throughout the exterior of the building.

In The Patrick Star Show, the exterior is alternating shades of dark blue and white. The life preserver also has its colors inverted.

Interior[]

The interior of the hospital has changed extensively throughout its appearances in the series. In its debut appearance, it only features one large chrome doctor's room, belonging to Incidental 116. Throughout the series, many rooms have been added, such as a waiting room, several hallways, large medical rooms, and other rooms.

In The Patrick Star Show, the hospital has a green, metallic interior.

"No Weenies Allowed"[]

Mr. Krabs lies about being Eugene Krabs. The Flying Dutchman believes him and tries to confirm this claim with the front desk. The Dutchman then returns after the receptionist says that Mr. Krabs' room is Eugene Krabs' room.

"The Lost Mattress"[]

This is one of the main locations of the episode. After SpongeBob and Patrick replace Mr. Krabs' old mattress, Mr. Krabs goes into a money coma because his money was inside his old mattress. He ends up in the hospital as a result.

Dr. Actor tells SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick that the only way to get him out of the coma is to return his old mattress to him. Squidward tries to explain that it was all SpongeBob and Patrick's idea. However, Incidental 118 tells Squidward that since he wrote that it was all his idea in the card that SpongeBob and Patrick made, Squidward also has to help because if he does not he will go to jail. They go to The Dump and attempt to get it back from a guard worm.

Meanwhile, Dr. Actor tells the nurse that Mr. Krabs cannot afford a room. The nurse puts Mr. Krabs, who is on a stretcher, in the hall. Later, Dr. Sileen tells Dr. Actor that Mr. Krabs is blocking a vending machine. The nurse moves the stretcher outside.
