[Perspectives] Hospital histories

We never quite know what goes on behind closed doors. Hospitals are incubators for the most vital and vivid of human interactions. Much of these are secret and enclosed, sealed against the outside world. We are stripped down, as patients, wheeled on a trolley for surgery, our flawed and faulty bodies all we are left with. We become reliant on others to fulfil our basic bodily functions. Often dependant and frightened, patients are ministered to by staff, who also come with their own needs, anxieties, and dysfunctions.
