There are a lot of people that don’t like going to the hospital, but I’ve never heard of someone who dislikes it as much as my husband.
- I’m not sure when my husband started to hate the hospital so much, but it’s been this way as long as I’ve known him.
His reasons for not wanting to go to the hospital are many. He is not comfortable around doctors. He does not trust modern medicine. He has a fear of needles. That’s honestly just the tip of the iceberg. The only time that you will ever find my husband at a hospital is if he’s on his deathbed. Another reason that he doesn’t appreciate going to the hospital is because of the heating and cooling control units. He particularly does not appreciate how the hospital uses its Heating, Ventilation plus A/C units; Obviously, hospitals are sizable buildings, so they have a lot of Heating, Ventilation plus A/C units in order to keep the entire building comfortable. Even with state of the art oil furnaces and central a/c systems, they cannot manage to ever keep the control unit set to a temperature that is actually comfortable for the people who are in the hospital. To be fair, I have never been to a hospital that wasn’t noticeably cold… Regardless of whether or not they are using the oil furnace or the central a/c system, the temperature at the hospital always feels cold; Now, I try to tell my husband that they have a reason for setting the control unit to a colder temperature. They say that it is healthier for everyone to have the temperature cool at the hospital! However, my husband is so fixated on how he feels too cold to be truly comfortable. Since he already does not feel comfortable at the hospital, the lack of comfortable air temperature really just sends him over the edge. However, even if they did raise the temperature to make the hospital slightly warmer, I’m sure my husband would still find fault with it.
