"There's nothing to do here
All just lie and complain
In bed at the hospital
Coming and going
Asleep and awake
In bed at the hospital..."

I shot this from my room at the Commons Rehab Facility in downtown Orlando. I have shot this same view every night for the last four days with my I phone. I think this is the best one. I’m going home tomorrow, so this will be my last attempt.
In the restored chapel of a 12th-century hospital building with superb timber beamwork, this museum shows various torturous-looking medical implements, hospital sedan chairs and a gruesome 1679 painting of an anatomy class. But it's much better known for its six masterpieces by 15th-century artist Hans Memling, including the enchanting reliquary of St Ursula. This gilded oak reliquary looks like a miniature Gothic cathedral, painted with scenes from the life of St Ursula, including highly realistic Cologne cityscapes.
The largest of the Memlings on display is the triptych of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist, commissioned by the hospital church as its altarpiece. Look out for St Catherine (with spinning wheel) and St Barbara, both seated at the feet of the Virgin. The artist's secular portrayals are just as engrossing as the devotional work, and include the delicate Portrait of a Young Woman (1480), in which the subject's hands rest on the painted frame of her portrait.
Heading for L-P on the "Hospital branch" in Newberry with 4151 and 2253 is WC job LO-42. This is one of the few times I shot a train on the branch although it seen service nearly every day back in WC days and still sees service a few times a week even in the CN era. November 12, 2000.
The University Hospital Aachen, planned from 1968 and built until 1985, is one of the largest hospitals in Germany with almost 6,600 rooms. The enormous dimensions resulted from the concept of combining all medical sub-disciplines as well as research and teaching in one building.
The main building has a length of 257 m and a width of 134 m and is accessed vertically via 24 stairwell shafts 54 m high. The stairwell shafts protrude 9 m from the eight-storey building sections, creating a castle-like impression. The building was constructed as a reinforced concrete skeleton structure, with the stairwell cores made of in-situ concrete and slip formwork. The remaining components were precast concrete elements.
For sure, this project is certainly not a typical example of “classic” concrete brutalism. The brutalist aspect here arises in particular from the fact that the construction method was left visible on the façade without any cladding, as was the building technology, which is prominently displayed, for example, by the exhaust pipes marked with yellow rings. Thanks to this design, the enormous building is regarded as a representative of high tech architecture, to which the Centre Pompidou in Paris also belongs.

Located on the western side of Tiber Island, the hospital was established in 1585 and is currently run by the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God. The hospital is known for having sheltered Jews during the Holocaust by diagnosing them with a fictitious disease called "Syndrome K".

For those of you that have been following my stream for a while, you know my mother has been having some health issues the past year.
For the last eight months she has been steadily improving. This past week she has had a set back.
So for the majority of the weekend this has been me.
I'll be back eventually.
This mural by Hendog, a graffiti artist who works secretly at night, was discovered in April 2021 on the wall of the hospital in Winchester. It is his tribute to the nurses for their work during the pandemic.
I am always happy to find a new mural by Hendog, who is sometimes described as Hampshire's answer to Banksy.
Here you can find those which I have discovered so far:

Patio interior del Hospital Tavera, en Toledo. Supongo que es una imagen muy habitual, pero no podía resistirme a esa línea de arcos. La luz del sol era muy potente, me recordaba a la luminosidad típica del Mediterráneo.
The curtain around my father's hospital bed in a two-bed ward at Penang's Lam Wah Ee private hospital.
Each morning the physio would come and pull the curtain shut before proceeding with his routine of moving Dad's arms and legs to exercise them.
That time of year is coming round again for Jonathans check up..
I take photos to keep my mind engaged :)
