Post News, In a Hospital Stay, No Time to Rest.

I know this is a fact because I was in hospital for seven days and I didn't get any rest. A nurse came in my room every 3 hours to get blood.

News, Grand Central Terminal may be synonymous with noise and haste. But as I recently discovered, it can be a lot quieter than a hospital bed.

On the busiest day at Grand Central, I might visit the bakery and newsstand, buy a train ticket, drop into the bookstore and drugstore before picking up some flowers and maybe buy a coffee for the ride home. That’s about seven transactions, all brief, that I choose to initiate when I have time and energy.

Contrast this with my recent stay in a 235-bed suburban nonprofit hospital where I faced at least 34 separate interactions, most of them convenient for everyone but the patient.
