The Hospital Habit and Hospital Horror Explored
A New Orleans physician describes the hospital habit and the hospital horror, noting patients who feign illness to stay in hospitals, the unexpected intellectual interest of such cases, and the fear some feel toward even the finest institutions. He recalls encounters with a self trained nurse, patients dread of private rooms, and the paradox of better care yet stronger nerves in some. The piece includes anecdotes of an English accountant and a pneumonia patient who preferred misery over hospital life.
