“In the home we make certain distinctions about functions of rooms and corridors; we do not deliver the groceries straight into the baby's crib. In hospitals we do not take the food trolleys right through the operating chamber, and we rarely have the recreation room next to the convalescent room. We sort out the functions. We have to sort out the functions of the city and the streams of traffic and re-create arterial systems that allow us to breathe ... the shape, pattern and sense of community which you expect if it were a home.” IfsHomeCertainNextCommunityRoomsCitiesBabyShapesFunctionPatternsBreatheStreamsDistinctionHospitalsTrafficChamberGroceriesRecreationCorridorsTrolleys Author:Barbara Ward, Baroness Jackson of Lodsworth
“Once various forms were signed, I was separated from my free will, led down the corridors into a room which was now to be the boundary of my existence, told to surrender my clothes, handed that comic invention, the hospital gown, and sent to bed in broad daylight like a child being stripped of her privileges.” ChildrenFormRoomsExistenceBedClothesPrivilegeVariousSurrenderBoundariesInventionComicFree WillHospitalsBroadsDaylightGownsCorridors Author:Dorothy West
