People only go to the hospital or see a medical professional when they really need to, and otherwise nobody wants to be there. That drive to get through the process as quickly as possible is why folks don’t notice the whimsical and absurd things hidden in medical centers.

The best example of this is all the signs, notices, and posters in this list that patients came across in hospitals. They certainly add a sense of brevity to the experience, which can certainly make folks feel much better.
