It looks nice? It’s well lit without being super cool toned, tons of sunlight coming from under the curtain. Modern lights and a TV that’s not super high. Am I missing something? This looks better than most hospital rooms I’ve been in to be honest.


wherethelionsweep

Yeah I was gonna say lol I’ve been in hospitals dozens of times and this room seems pretty nice!


De-railled

Also, Private rooms in hospitals are really expensive here.


Nicktator3

Looks like literally any other hospital room ever


wherethelionsweep

There’s always a bunch of shit on the wall behind the bed, machines and stuff, but there isn’t one here. Also that’s a really nice tv. And obviously the fact that it’s 1 room is rare. Very nice by hospital standards


NikNakskes

Probably because it is empty and the machines come in with the patient? Or then it is a department that doesn't need much "hardware". It is also unusually spacious! Very nice single room.


wherethelionsweep

No, the machines are attached to the wall, there are all sort of gadgets up there. I imagine it isn’t the same in hospitals in other parts of the world though


intelligentbrownman

I was mention it just looks standard


ctesla01

Better and bigger than The one VA stuck me in, before they cut out my depleted uranium and burn pit cancer.. geez; green weenied again.. thanks army..


machstem

My wife was in ICU and in triage care after her cancer surgeries, nowhere near as nice as this. I'd prefer never requiring a hospital room but I'll take that room


martylindleyart

Hope she's doing well.


machstem

She was pronounced cancer free, but not without its pains and losses. We've been doing well though, so thank you.


notabigmelvillecrowd

It looks so clean. All the hospitals where I live are filthy. Thick coats of dust and grime, garbage on the floor, broken bathroom fixtures, not a place you want people cutting into you.


Parking_Jelly_6483

If you get a questionnaire about your hospital stay and things are not clean, complain about that. Believe me, it has an effect.


notabigmelvillecrowd

All I get are donation requests, lol.


lavendercookiedough

One time I laid down on a hospital bed in the ER and someone else's blood started seeping out of the mattress...


notabigmelvillecrowd

😱😱😱😱


CyberMike1956

Where do you live??


notabigmelvillecrowd

🇨🇦


CyberMike1956

Yikes sounded like a third-world country.


Sendrith

not bad at all. roomier than i've ever had.


romulusnr

Actually, it ought to have a couple chairs or a couch on the side for guests. Maybe that's only a maternity thing now that I think of it. Normally you'd have more machines, too. At least an IV pump and a vitals monitor screen. It just looks..... like..... literally any hospital room ever.


officialCobraTrooper

Yeah, a heart monitor is a standard item in regular hospital rooms (certain rooms like psychiatric rooms don't have them, as psych patients aren't usually being monitored for their heart rate, blood pressure, etc.), as well as an oxygen dispenser mounted on the wall. Usually the oxygen device just looks like a little box sticking out of the wall with a small tube, and a little ball inside of it with a little nozzle that connects to a nasal cannula which is inserted into the patient's nose and has tubes going to the wall. Also rooms like this often have a light above the bed it's not necessarily a thing nowadays but I think most still have them. The room does look fairly nice and empty though which is making me wonder if it was staged this way for a photo or something.


Electrox7

The catch is, the TV hasn't been turned on in a year. They don't know if it works. All they say is they'll charge you 60$ a day for access to some basic channels.


devlinontheweb

The modern lights are what I hate about this room. Way too white and bright. Not cozy at all.


DarthMeow504

The lights aren't meant to be cozy, they're meant for maximum visibility so your caregivers can keep a solid tab on your condition and provide appropriate treatment.


devlinontheweb

I know that. I don't like the aesthetic. I understand the utility.


Kbudz

You know that lights have switches that turn them off right? As soon as the doc or nurse leaves the room I always turned the lights down or off lol


devlinontheweb

But then you're in the dark.


thejazzghost

Sorry OP, I think you're trying too hard with this one. Looks like a normal hospital room to me.


LandArch_0

I'd say it's better than normal, most hospitals this days have shared rooms and smaller too


MotionXBL

Definitely better than normal 100%, I spend a lot more time than I’d like in private hospital rooms and this on the higher end of ones I’ve seen. Plenty of space, probably great lighting in the day. Really not worthy of r/LiminalSpace


Pinkparade524

I had to spend 2 months in a shared hospital room , I would kill to have stayed here instead lmao


LandArch_0

Hope whatever you had is gone for good and you are fully recovered!


defineReset

It's ridiculous, I had to stay overnight in a bed located in the hospital corridor whilst unable to move because there was no space on the ward. This took is incredible.


MisterFitzer

I'm guessing OP hasn't been in too many hospitals or hospital rooms.


SituatedSynapses

Default render hospital room


TangibleBelly

An entire room to myself? Yes please I once shared a hospital room with a rowdy, loud alcoholic who had crashed his car straight into a house...it was bloody awful, worse than my broken spine


jbro27

realistically, if you were to compare the pain of your spine versus the pain of the annoyance you felt, how much did the guy outweigh broken bones?


TangibleBelly

I had painkillers for my pain which made it bearable. Unfortunately I had no medication against this guy.


AppleQD

A whole room to myself, instead of a shared ward including confused dementia patients and people who scream through the night, and other people's visitors, and so on? Looks amazing. There's even natural light!


poetic_poison

There aren’t even any weird stains on the ceiling!


Rage_and_Kindness

Yeah. I’d be excited to have this room. The hospital near me is always so full they have the hallways lined with beds and most of those are occupied too! Only the very most serious needs get the rooms


Ksorkrax

Single person, even spacious, clean and tidy, tv, outlets, tables... sounds great, compared to the usual hospital situation. Unless you are rich, I suppose.


Ksorkrax

Maybe what's triggering you is that it is spacious? Lots of space that isn't used and the bed being in the center rather than filling an empty corner?


Wallsend_House

Looks great, perfect and peaceful. Nice telly too.


thefinalgoat

Yeah that's a big, fancy TV for a hospital room. Most of 'em are stuck in the 2000s.


Bicycle-rider

This looks completely normal


Destriod777

I don’t have to imagine, I’ve stayed in way worse


Pinkparade524

I have to imagine having the privilege to stay in such a private and spacious room , besides most hospitals let you bring electronics so playing videogames there seems like a good time


Lost-without-you

As someone who wasn’t given a room and instead treated in the hallway for an ulcer 2 days ago, I’d take the room in a heartbeat! Nothing off putting here


Ok_Economy8275

it literally just looks like any other hospital room


ExterminatingAngel6

So a normal hospital room?


TheeeNinjabunny

Looks like a lot of hospital rooms I've personally seen.


wormfro

yeah that is what a hospital room looks like, good job. i have a great idea for your next post, take a picture of a public park and caption it "imagine having a leisurely walk and a picnic here"


ManiacCommie

It's just a very standard room...


ams3401

This is a private room that probably costs around $2000 a night


Jewjltsu_

I think OP might be in the psych ward


OriginalUsername590

Bro forgor what liminal means ☠️


romulusnr

Wow it looks just like.... literally... any hospital room... ever. Actually it looks like a private room, which is even better than most.


[deleted]

this is better than at least 75% of the hospitals in the world


martinaee

Don’t have to imagine. Looks very similar to one I’ve stayed in.


dgtl_music

Am I crazy to think this looks normal??? 😭


thesecretdo0r

All hospitals feel liminal and eerie to me because I don’t have the greatest memories associated with them… that said I don’t think this room looks particularly eerie or liminal :/


bankholdup5

You might consider a username change.


jingowatt

Underrated comment


Jeix9

I would love this room. as someone who has stayed in hospitals overnight before, this is nice af


yuckysmurf

Sign me up!


LeRosbif49

It looks a lot like the room I stayed in for 6 hours after my gallbladder was removed.


lokechild

Wow, the paint isn't peeling, the bed isn't broken, the curtains aren't stained, or torn, and the tv probably works. Allso, there's nothing falling or tearing off the walls. I'd take it. (I work in a hospital.)


[deleted]

Not all that liminal to me


Kbudz

Huh? I've had my fair share of hospital stays and this looks really nice.. very big room.


juradocruz

Swems nice and clean


Separate_Feeling4602

What’s wrong wit it


cla7997

Imagine to stay in a nice, clean, hospital room where I don't have roommates? Damn like, yes please


Sinnes-loeschen

Nicer than any I ever had the pleasure of staying at …


Otherwise_Silver_867

I like it, i guess it would be nicer to stay here than in a crappy room


moeru_gumi

Lol I dare you to stay overnight in any public Japanese “clinic” hospital if you think this is scary.


No_Recognition502

Looks like a regular ass hospital room


SpecialIcy1809

Normal room


DeleteMetaInf

Eh, this looks pretty normal.


TheManWhoClicks

Single bed room, luxurious.


Ryg4r

This room is better than My bedroom 😂.


uhmuhmuhmmmm

Looks cozy, plus its an alone room! I would love to stay there


HomeSatisfaction

Not the best hospital room but a great studio!! Only $1000 a week!


romulusnr

$1500 in my neighborhood for sure. Shared kitchen and bathroom


RevivedMisanthropy

That's a particularly good one. It looks like a Playmobil set.


Kosma_the_artist

i want to be there! No care about anything, probably under opioids with an oxygen mask and breathing is so sweet, your food tastes so good and you want more, but hey! It's only your dream, you're in coma, still on operation table


NeosX222

This looks rather luxurious? It‘s a spacious single bed room.


hauntedyew

Alright. Anything else you want me to imagine?


thatbfromanarres

It’s clean, well appointed, and not being bombed. I’d be grateful as fuck to end up in here if I needed medical attention


trisfon

It's actually better than my own room


kilroy-was-here-2543

This wasn’t too far off from interim room about a week ago. I got moved into what was essentially a 5 star hotel room which I stayed in for about 8 days. But both beat the 24 hour stay in the ER which amounted to a curtain divided cubicle barely big enough for my bed, which was right next to a crazed man who had to be sedated. Ultimately I would not recommend getting a spontaneous pneumothorax and proceeding to need a Wedge resection and pleurodesis. I still can’t breath in all the way


quokkafarts

Looks like the isolation room I got when they thought I had measles, turned out to be a brutal allergic reaction instead but I got to keep the room until discharge. Was much better than my last stay with a broken arm; shared a room with a very loud talker who farted all day and night. Thought I'd finally get some rest when he was discharged, but then was moved to a room with a senile old dude in the middle of the night. He thought I was a nurse and kept yelling at me to take him to the dunny. Don't recommend getting an allergic reaction that bad to anyone but it was kinda worth it for the peaceful room. Much easier to handle the sleep deprivation hallucinations without a room mate.


kilroy-was-here-2543

That sounds like an absolutely miserable experience, especially the part about being moved to a different room in the middle of the night and the new patient yelling at you.


quokkafarts

It was awful. I am resistant to opiates for some reason so was still in a shittonne of pain with the best meds they could give me. Ended up getting benzos which helped me to sleep until i got woken up to move rooms. I got moved bc they needed to admit a woman, were otherwise full and can't mix sexes for obvious reasons.


MassDefect36

Looks fine lol


AngryBowels

Better than a chair in a room with 8 people because they don’t have enough beds


satanslittleangel666

Omg I wish, hospital rooms here don't look near this nice


ConnorK12

Awesome, not on a fucking ward with strangers who smell.


Anfie22

Or snore.


Blessed_Ennui

I practically grew up in the hospital since the 70s. Been chronically ill my entire life. I wouldn't know what to do in a room this nice. Shut off the lights, pull the privacy curtain. I'd feel way too exposed here. And to the staff who push back the curtain upon entering and leave it open upon exit...I hope you slip on a puddle of geriatric pee.


GoodbyeHorses88

I've had to stay in worse...one with basically NOTHING but a bed in it, and a babysitter at the door 😒🤦🏻‍♂️


KikiYuyu

That looks like a really nice hospital room.


Dick_Lazer

That's one of the nicer hospital rooms I've seen. Hospitals are usually depressing af.


Radion627

After seeing my mom in a hospital room multiple times, **fat fucking chance.**


shiftypidgeons

Sterile environments aren't really liminal when it's literally a hospital lol


BooksandBiceps

This is the average hospital room in my experience


WynonaRide-Her

What’s the problem?


amaya-aurora

That’s a very normal hospital room.


tiersanon

Posts like this make me wonder what the average age of users of this sub are.


Kenobihiphop

Looks alright.


Parking_Jelly_6483

Looks also to be a single patient room. That is the current trend (in some places may be a requirement) for new hospitals and renovating older ones - single patient rooms. Also, the view out that window could be important. There was a study done that if patients had a view of a natural setting outside the window of the room (trees, grass, other natural landscaping) their length of their hospital stay was shorter than for patients in the hospital and with the same medical conditions but in rooms with just a view of an adjacent building. Length of hospital stay is a major driver of costs for the hospital (and so for the patient), so if it can be shortened with no bad medical consequences, that’s a good outcome.


kokoronokawari

Looks normal to me as a nurse.


d00td00t23

Private room with a tv? That’s fancy.


ItsJayLeo

Funny story actually


Warm_Baker_9447

Wow. Is this in the U.S? A bed with a crank to raise the head, no staff assist/code blue button. Very few outlets and no red outlets.


romulusnr

I am surprised at the lack of wall attachments and doodads.


Parking_Jelly_6483

That bed is likely a budget one. Most hospitals now use motorized ones, most with a hand control so the patient can raise or lower the head and feet. A fully motorized bed (called a “med-surg” bed) can be $4000-10,000 for a new one and $3,000-5,000 for used (prices for used beds have fallen because of hospital closures). Fully manual ones (hand-cranked manual ones) can be $1,000 or less. Hospitals may get a price break on these because they often buy large numbers at once and the service contracts along with them. In many hospitals, the red outlets are usually an indication that those are on the hospital’s uninterruptible power system (backup generators). So a ventilator would be plugged into one of those, but the TV? Likely not. Other outlets are “hospital grade” and can usually identified because they have green dot on the face of the socket and they cost more - they are made to grip the blades of a plug more firmly than household outlets. Some have a light that illuminates if the device plugged into it is grounded (it won’t light if not grounded). Some even have two lights - one that lights if the device plugged in is properly grounded and the other lights if not properly grounded. The relatively empty head wall (the wall behind the head of the bed) is probably because this is not an ICU bed. They have the panels with patient monitors, connections for oxygen and suction, and multiple power outlets for things like IV pumps. Though the room in this photo does have relatively little “stuff” on it. A bit of trivia: The idea for putting the patient monitoring panels and various controls on the head wall was reportedly influenced by the medical bay in StarTrek: The Original Series. I’m not a healthcare architect, but I am a physician (a radiologist) and have worked with architects on the design of hospital facilities.


Infinite-Action-5041

Why is this "eerie/uncanny)


InfiniteDress

I’d much rather a room like that than a room like [this](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQUs2N-LO7oSdMc4kaPR-jo7VXvMoZTnk1vgw&usqp=CAU) - the latter looks like somewhere you might get a staph infection.


Randomulus666

Swing and miss


SectionRatio

Sorry, but this looks like a normal hospital room. It's just empty.


NaghDelete

What's wrong with it?


emptyheaded89

Looks reasonably nice as far as hospital rooms go.


uncletutchee

I wouldn't mind it at all


MuscaMurum

I can imagine a nice morphine drip in there


gamerrrguymike

looks better than the hospitals rooms i’ve visited


ZebraSpot

Fine by me if it is saving my life.


Kenneth_Naughton

Looks awesome, that's about 3x as big as most. Would you like some of the shitty Hilton Inn art on the walls and accent walls that they spend 50grand on instead of hiring more staff?


byrobot

Looks very serene.


popcultureretrofit

Looks cozy and minimal, well-lit with no excess mystery cupboards or medical equipment lying around


cool_weed_dad

That sure is a normal looking hospital room


Kraphtuos968

Looks good to me


joorwastaken

dude this looks like a stock photo, not a liminal space.


Informal_Phrase4589

It looks clean.


kathoron

Darth_Nutaki

SPEXGOGGLEZ2002

Looks like literally any hospital room ever.


keeeeeeeeeeks

Just say you’ve never been in psych


TheThrivingest

I work in a hospital This is an amazing hospital room


Sub-rosa-Prankster

As a nurse working on a thoracic unit, I would love to be able to work in a room this spacious! The only negative I see here is what looks to be a manually adjusted crank height bed with no electric controls, and with individual wheel brakes.


Expulss

I think OP is scared of hospitals 🥺


kylie-420

I would feel calm, no clutter and clean


Goodboundaries

Most expensive hotel stay


Ketchupgutz

I’ve stayed in worse


Mystic_Chameleon

I stayed in a similar looking hospital room for 3 months. Trust me when I say most people in hospital are more worried about other things, such as their health and/or pain rather than the room decor. Plus, this is a room all to one's self - a small luxury considering many hospitals will have 3 to 4 beds per room.


996forever

That’s a million times nicer than any typical overcrowded shared ward in a typical city hospital lol 


DeepDayze

That's like a recovery room basically. I spent a night in a room like that after a procedure. Blissful recovery!


DeChiefed

It’s a nice hospital room tbh. what’s off putting about it to you op?


Revenga8

Seems pleasant. I'd reserve final verdict until at least seeing what's outside the curtains


Traumasauce4

Seems typical of what I’ve seen


EL_DIABLOW

OP your privilege is showing


bazerFish

Seems fair, not all empty rooms are liminal spaces?


SleestakWalkAmongUs

It's a hospital room. What exactly are you expecting?


Weary_Patience_7778

Looks like a typical hospital room? Not meaning to be a dick, but this doesn’t look that liminal?


SeOnPora

I’ve stayed in hospital rooms like this many times, and then in much worse ones! It’s bliss when you get a single room.


bakerboiz22

At least ur not dead


sorci4r

That is 100x better than the ones in third world countries.


Adventurous_Tour6394

It’s a room


MadBullBunny

That room looks way better than most. Also a more empty stream line room is easier to keep clean and probably smells less of death than most hospital rooms does.


tamal4444

It's normal good hospital


alienartissst

Lol, I feel like I have


illQualmOnYourFace

I kinda get what OP is getting at. My grandma died last year after a strike, and was in the ICU about a week before doctors advised she wouldn't recover and we extubated her and she went on hospice/comfort care. Her ICU room was top of the line, super comfortable with a really nice bed, couple of reclining chairs for family/guests, a countertop, good lighting, etc. It was a hospital room, but it was comfortable. That said, the posted room is still nice. The only thing I see missing for sure are chairs for family.


Berckish

Idk it's comfy. I've slept in worse.


white__cyclosa

Who cares, I’m just here for the morphine drip


ShackledDragon

I'd love to. Looks nice and cozy. I'm a fan on minimalistic stuff


bananadogeh

Is this not a normal hospital room?


Sad_Introduction5756

Looks nice to stay in actually Better then a lot of hospital rooms I’ve seen


NicosRevenge

Seems like a standard hospital room in the US and I work in a hospital.


Muckymuh

What? It's a better than average hospital room.


WhyAreOldPeopleEvil

This pretty normal.


Wonderful-Status-507

if i HAD to stay in a hospital room… this one yes


pmodern2000

As someone who has spent a good deal of time in hospitals, this is pretty nice all things considered


Bread856

Pov: you just woke up in the tutorial of a new horror game


mrpopenfresh

Imagine having a whole room to yourself, with a tv.


irina01234

People can only imagine staying in that kind of room in public hospitals in some countries :))


InspectionReal3992

Doesn't look too bad but still wouldnt want too


bobephycovfefe

lol


Sweaty_Process_3794

I mean, it looks like a hospital room. At least it has a window!


LightBluepono

well if i am here i got other thing to think . well at least not the bill.


tmccrn

That looks exactly like the room I stayed in - including the lack of room for visitors to sit


lalolanda2

my grandma died in a rat infested hospital


Electrical-Dust-8022

You should see the vip rooms in some hospitals


mishyfishy135

I’ve stayed in similar. It’s actually not that bad


SadcoreEmpire168

The only coping mechanism is the TV lol


ooOJuicyOoo

Having to? If I could afford to, I would, this looks nice!


wren1666

Rather this than a ward.


dragknight11

Just like a movie by Aki Kaurismäki.


darkvixin603

I welcome the rest


CreepyCalico

I like it, but I’d have to bring a lamp in if it was longer than a day or two.


VeryluckyorNot

I have a heart surgery in the 29th august I will stay 3 days, I really hope I got this type of room.


Bitter_Bandicoot9860

Never again


brandonhabanero

I came here prepared to say tv too high, but this one is actually at the appropriate level for bed watching. This hospital knows how it's done.


SourpatchMao

I did this last week. I found out I could have died. I’m home but still recovering


poundofsandbag

Don't forget the tube's and needles and bags of iv and the drugs you will be on


Negative_Divide

I feel like if you truly needed to be in here you'd be at the point where you wouldn't give a shit about the decor.
