History:marion_m_graham-hospital-hallway
(Iron Fist: The Living Weapon#3 (fb) - BTS) - Following her arrival and collapse at Daniel Rand's apartment, the young K'un-Lun native girl Pei was taken to the Marion M. Graham, accompanied by Brenda Swanson.

(Iron Fist: The Living Weapon#3) - In Pei's room, Detective Li met with Brenda and questioned her about Pei's arrival and a recent conflict between Iron Fist and a number of undead cyborg ninjas. Meanwhile, a group of daughters of the Crane Mother of K'un-Zi arrived in search of Pei (who had taken the egg of the K'un-Lun dragon Shou-Lao) and soon violently conflicted with the Terror Priests and Davos (the Steel Serpent) to the Marion M. Graham Hospital, who also sought Pei and the egg.marion_m_graham-hospital-ninjabattle

    As Detective Li joined the struggle, Pei escaped with the egg, followed by Brenda Swanson, fleeing down a flight of stairs. A spider-demon thing, also seeking the egg, then blew a hole in the wall (including the door) in pursuit of Pei.

(Iron Fist: The Living Weapon#5 (fb) - BTS) - Marion M. Graham hospital was evacuated due to the conflict.

(Iron Fist: The Living Weapon#5 - BTS) - News anchor Al began to report on the evacuation of a local hospital having been evacuated "after local gang activity..."

(Iron Fist: The Living Weapon#5) - Brenda incapacitated the spider-creature but was then confronted by Davos; Brenda sent Pei to flee.

(Iron Fist: The Living Weapon#5 (fb) - BTS) - Brenda failed to stop Davos and his Terror Priests, who pursued Pei.

(Iron Fist: The Living Weapon#5) - Detective Li found the fallen Brenda; after she told him about Pei, Li sent his officers to seek out and help her.

    Pei fled the Terror Priests and escaped via dropping/falling through a manhole like hole and re-covering it. Upon impact, the egg shell cracked open, releasing the young Shou-Lao.

(Iron Fist: The Living Weapon#5 - BTS) - Det. Li, the NYPD, and Brenda pursued Pei into the tunnels under the hospital. Pei was joined by the Shou-Lao incarnation Gork, who subdued the One's Undead Cyborg ninjas. However, Davos then captured Gork and Pei and slaughtered the NYPD, although Brenda and Det. Li survived. 

Comments: Created by Kaare Kyle Andrews.

    I don't think this is a real world hospital, but I'm not positive. A search for Marion M. Graham only brought up a high school in Saskatoon named for the educator.
