    Not gonna lie there’s lots of studies that greenery really does help avoid that institutionalized white room effect and things such as ICU psychosis, but also there’s a reason why potted plants were removed from patient rooms because yeah plants can carry a ungodly amount of bacteria. Still would say the most dangerous place in a hospital are bathrooms family members use after raw dogging into Meemaws iso room without PPE.

      the most dangerous place in a hospital are bathrooms family members use

      believe this a million percent

      my mom was in the hospital for a few weeks a couple years ago, and I got to see how my family members washed their hands

      it was horrifying

      I am early 40s, nobody under 30 spent any time in that room, they should all know better

        Having to tell family members that “no you are not allowed to go into a cdiff room without a gown and mask” and then watching them eat off their family members meal tray is one hell of an experience. Enjoy the worst satanic diarrhea y’all have ever had.

    The funny thing is the aesthetic and safe option is steam punk copper rails/handles/surfaces everyetc.

    Copper kill bacteria and cleans itself. But it’s not used due to costs.

      The tarnish is often seen as unsanitary, though it’s not, and unsightly, so the upkeep can be a lot.
      In fact a lot of brass and copper decorative fixtures are clear coated to prevent oxidation, but then they also prevent the antiseptic properties of the metal as well.

      Nosocomial infections are a really big deal in hospitals too. I wouldn’t depend on copper alone to kill bacteria; how well does it deal with getting bleached down?

      For the OP, if some snot-nosed child wiped his hand on the giant greenery wall, the bacteria flourished on the wall, then the AC brought a bunch of germs into an area for the immunocompromised then you’re not gonna have a good time

        I read this, and I’m suddenly realizing that I’ve never truly felt entitled to my own opinion, but also have never felt like anybody’s opinion really matters, and that explains a lot of why I don’t get along in society.

        I’m a stupid dumbass. Why doesn’t everybody else also realize and admit what a fucking idiot they are?

    that’s what kills me, nosocomial infections are not uncommon and can be lethal even when you observe all the safety protocols, some hospitals are simply too old and the decades of pee pee poo poo has seeped into the walls and there’s nothing to do but bulldoze it and start from scratch (which would be great if we lived in the part of the world where the government can still do things)

    yeah, it would be nice to have more greenerty, not i’ve yet to see a hospital that doesn’t have at least a very small patch of greenery somewhere, or like, a tree in the parking lot, just build a garden next to the damn place

      It’s odd that via the counterfactual to this you arrive at the OP, which is this is a bacteria breeding ground for a whole lot of number of reasons anyways and we’re rolling with that, might aswell make it look nicer if sterile isn’t actually a consideration anymore

      And they’re auxiliary to the functional areas of the hospital, where keeping facilities and the spaces between them sterile and well-lit is just basic hygiene practice.

      Dedicated garden areas are great. They improve the well-being of in-patients and staff who enjoy them and people who can’t or shouldn’t use them don’t get forced to.

    I’ve been to a few hospitals that had some Dracaena trifasciata planted around the lobby and other public areas to improve air quality so I don’t think having indoor plants in a hospital is inherently dangerous.
