Still in this vast hospital. This is part of a bank of 4 lifts in the central part, The wide corridor goes around all 4 sides of the lifts and the different intensive care units branch off at the corners. Like a big X with the lifts being the centre of it. Visitors and families wait in this central part and can only enter a unit when called. Once inside a unit there are areas for conference with doctors or senior staff, and again you cannot leave that area until directed to go outside again, or proceed to the small unit where your patient is. It all looks a bit chaotic, but the the system works very well, once you work out exactly how it works. The doctors mostly speak some English, some nurses do. My husband has received fantastic care, and we, as family, have been informed and consulted every step of the way. And it has been a very rocky road.
A large photo of the hospital is here, which will show it perhaps better than I can explain the layout.
Thank you all for your good wishes - I am passing them on, and the are an encouragement to me.

It would be rare to see a British hospital corridor so empty Sheila. It looks beautifully clean. I do hope Maurice is on the road to recovery. It must be a bit daunting to be treated in a 'foreign' hospital, although I know it's home to you. Do you speak much Spanish Sheila?
