It's a shame...

That we don't treat our adult patients the way we treat our pediatrics patients. The pediatrics floors are brightly decorated and there are murals and pictures and scales that look like rockets and giraffes and there's so much effort put in to making a stay at the hospital seem less scary and more fun. And yet, we don't do that for adults. There are far more adults in a hospital setting with bland, boring walls that blend into white tiled floors and seemingly little effort put into making an adult floor more appealing. I think it's wonderful that the peds floors are so nice but what about the adults?
