Lucille Bluth: I'll be in the hospital bar.
Michael Bluth: Uhh, you know, there isn't a hospital bar, mother.
Lucille Bluth: Well, this is why people hate hospitals.
Truer words are rarely spoken. Why don't hospitals have bars? They should to help families deal with the interminable waits, the overbearing knowledge that a loved one is terminally ill, and the fear of impending surgery. Not to mention, having extra alcohol on hand if the hospital should run out of anesthesia or disinfectant. That how they did it in the old days - no morphine? have a bottle of whiskey.In a similar vein, libraries should have coffee shops. It would cover the smell of homeless people, recycled air, and dusty pages. And I would be much more likely to go to the library if they had scones and lattes.
