Hospital

"The world has many great places to vacation, a hospital is not one of them." By Poet There are times when we go to the hospital by car or by ambulance. One gets hurt or becomes sick, then off we go. We may need rest, but they keep us up all night. We may even need a repair or two, like Frankenstein. A hospital is not a fun place, even the sick will agree to that. Next time you need a vacation, take out a map.

Hi Paula. I worked in a hospital for 26 years and can safely say I'd never like to holiday there too. The theatres they have there are not the theatres I like to visit on holiday that's for sure. :) Cheers - Gary

I totally agree with you my dear poet friend Paula. If possible, i don't want to step on a hospital or even look at it when I pass by. But sometimes, I couldn't avoid stepping on it. I enjoyed your beautiful and creative poem my dear poet friend. The last line makes me smile. I love it and the quote above. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you always. Hugs

I fell and broke my finger on the morning we were due to travel home - spent 4 hours in the hospital they x rayed it said it was broken didn't even get the gravel out of the cut and sent us on our way. we got the ferry home, went to the local hospital about 10.30 pm they couldnt have been more caring! one thing for sure, holidays and hospitals do not mix Paula. hugs jan xx
