Look at this - intensive care ward on the hospital roof!

Marianne72

At last, the research about gardens and well-being being put to practical use - look at this outdoor intensive care ward, on the roof of a hospital. I wonder if they'll ever allow flowers and plants to be brought into hospital wards again. The joy might possibly outweigh infection risks, except in severe cases.

    It looked wonderful, being stuck inside for days or weeks with no fresh air is horrible, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they see a decrease in pain and an uptick in general well being.

    Last year I had to persuade a doctor in a hospital to let someone (long term in a room in an isolation ward) who was severely immunocompromised visit a hospital garden occasionally. 

    He has told me that he thinks he would have gone mad without those times out of the room in nature.
