You are out of jail. You are out of hospital. These both read fine to me? Anyone else think otherwise?

I just used a SFAK and it displayed the following message, slight grammar issue:

You use your small first aid kit on your wounded arm. You are out of hospital!

Close Use another Use another from faction

It should read:

You use your small first aid kit on your wounded arm. You are out of the hospital!

Close Use another Use another from faction

Just got to add the word "the"

It would only require 'the' if it was a proper noun.

You are out of the Royal Hospital.

'You are out of the jail' doesn't read as welll as 'You are out of jail'

I would keep it as it is.

Current grammar makes it sound like I've run out of jail and hospital to use.

Jail is right, hospital should have "the".
