Have you ever been loose in a hospital?
I worked in a psych ward for five years, and also worked in a children’s hospital in another part of my youth
It was very different because the psych ward was basically a halfway house, and the children’s ward was “we’re helping kids”
What was the children’s hospital’s stance on the color red?
Red is a symbol of pain, death, and danger in children’s hospitals. (My kids’ hospital put red crosses on the doors of the emergency rooms so parents could know where to go to find their kids if they were hurt.)
Actually red has a lot more positive connotations than negative ones. It’s just color theory.
Yeah, a lot of people (including me before my kids’ hospital education) said that children were afraid of red because it was the color of blood and pain, and that this was a bad thing. In fact, in my experience the color of blood and danger has made a lot of children more afraid of hospitals, as they’re much more likely to get injured there.
Frank, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Why don’t you look up color theory and learn something?
I know about color theory, I just think that it doesn’t apply to children’s hospitals! Red is not a symbol of death and pain in children’s hospitals because they are filled with bright, cheerful colors and candy!
