The new London Hospital

This is the view from the 13th floor where my friend is a patient. brand spanking new, in debt up to its eyeballs, miles of long corridor, separate entrances to the wards for staff and patients and relatives. It seemed a very scary place, not on a human scale at all.  The single rooms are quiet, air conditioned with fridges but no TV or radio- it felt very lonely indeed. The view from the rooms is brilliant but the windows are too high to see if you are in bed.
