hi everyone,
Sorry for the wait on the upload of my vid, it will be up soon I was a little disorganised heading to uni today...
Anyway, I have been having some thoughts on hospitals...
So, thinking about hospitals and their function, they are there in a function to turn sick people into well people, to take the symptoms of sickness and do what they can to ease the pain. It can be considered an extension of the idea of pain and the relative treatment that one might seek because of it. Plastic surgery is pain of the self conscious, dental is pain of the mouth, mental is pain of the mind or of society, prisons are pain of the behaviour (a greater stretch of the definition than I could probably get away with).
So my thoughts continue on the idea of a hospital and the relationships with pain and am wondering if something that is considered a 'treatment facility' or something which could be considered to 'ease' pain could come in this category. Maybe we could stretch the definition of hospitals for my purposes to be an artists studio for people with disabilities or something along those lines. Something like the hospital which used laughter as the best medicine.
How far can we take hospital?
I eagerly await posts...

Hi Noa, quoting "prisons are pain of the behaviour (a greater stretch of the definition than I could probably get away with)." This is the level where I would like you to start, when you have a challenge to argue a point then you have an opportunity to do something good. When you argue something we all agree on at the outset then the argument dosen't have to be very good as it's essentially over before it starts. Cheers
