natural light and warm colors are prolly fine (?) only making patient color non-universal across places

greenery can only be done in those ecosystem-in-sealed-bottle tho

deep uv frier coming to hospital near you. i mean its a solvable thingy, slightly greener wall won’t hide piss or something. Would it benefit that much - doubt it, the association depresses people not colors

The fact that he is using the term sterile as a negative thing in a hospital is evidence enough that he is a genuine brain genius

Every now and then it’s important to give yourself a pat on the back for being a materialist. Literal vibes-based BS all around.

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.

I wake up, the nurses and doctors are there to greet me and they get to about “G’day most distinguished gentlem-” before I turn off my own life support

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

You just ban people from throwing up in hospitals, or at least charge them a $175,000 vine cleaning fee

If someone throws up on a vine in the woods, it just stays there forever, full of human pathogens, everybody knows that.
