The medical world does not need to be sterile and boring. Most waiting rooms have big screen tvs now. Chairs are comfier. They are trying to relax the patients a bit more.
I have been taking a family member for treatment to an area at the hospital where I haven't spent much time in a few years. I have noticed they are expanding the creature comforts for the patients and their family members. There is art. There is a lending library. There is saved seating. There is free coffee. Just nice little touches for long waits.
Then I saw this online:
A bunch of young men were seen running around a parking garage roof which is visible from the ICU rooms and oncology rooms of a
Chicago hospital. I got a kick out of it. Apparently patients and providers a like did as well for its short life.
Engineering students made thousands of paper cranes for a hospital in Florida... The images are lovely and can be seen
here.
While spending too much quality time at a medical facility, its nice for a little peek at something soothing or amusing.
