It Never Ceases to Amaze Me

How when you go to a CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, nothing is designed for children.

We're talking about about 1/4 to 1/2 of the patients that are too small or don't know any better and need things designed for them.

FOR EXAMPLE:

1. No children toilets.  They don't even have the little commodes.  They don't even have the little toilet seat adapters for small butts so that you don't traumatize your little one when they almost fall into the big potty.  They don't even have stools or low sinks so that they can wash their hands!

2. "Toys" that are not age appropriate.  While cute and a nice thought to give the kids a little something fun to take home at the end of the day, but when the toys are small enough to be stuffed up a nostril, you kind of have to wonder what the F these people are thinking.

3. Dolls.  I'm sure we all remember the Patch Adams movie that made famous a doctor that tries to make a hospital visit not scary for kids.  There was a huge trail of copy-cats after it came out. Well, what happened?  Now, the doctor's don't even bring in a doll to show the kids what they're going to do before they pull out some rather scary looking instrument and shove it in their ear.

Just makes the whole trip even more miserable.
