And the doctors can't figure out why I'm getting worse!!!
"Hospital rooms go green
Here comes the green hospital room: low-flow faucets, flooring made with renewable materials, nontoxic materials in the ceiling, bed, and walls. There is even a balcony to help you connect to nature, which research shows can aid healing.
It probably does; however, the UNCEASING AGENDA-PUSHING is MAKING ME SICK!!!!
The architectural firm Anshen + Allen, International Facility Management Association, and construction manager Skanska USA Building have created a 400-square-foot green patient lab to demonstrate that green materials and technologies can be used in hospital construction - and not always at exorbitant prices. Joe Reilly, project executive for Skanska, declined to give a price for the room, saying, "It's about ideas and thinking outside the box."
Green characteristics also include a smart heating system that changes the volume of air in a room as needed, high-efficiency glass, LED lights, and an emphasis on natural light. Materials low in volatile organic compounds were used, and vinyl was eliminated.
What about the birds?
The design team took some pointers from environmental psychology to design a room that can help patients and family feel more comfortable and in control.... No one wants a hospital visit. But if you had to have one, the green patient room just might make you feel a bit better.
I don't think so!
