This is a new therapy I've come up with. It's called big guns. And it is the only hospital wing of its kind, using humor as a key part of patient recovery. I don't want to have to resort to these measures. This is serious business, what we do.
People die here.
But George Bernard Shaw always said that life does not cease to be funny when somebody dies, anymore than it ceases to be serious when somebody laughs. Okay, you have a good day. The unit staff make feeling better feel better. If I can give them five minutes of laughter and five minutes to forget about what's going on in their life right now, I've done really well. And initial surveys already show that patients who stay in 6 West complain less and return to the hospital less than patients staying in traditional wards.
