The fact that he is using the term sterile as a negative thing in a hospital is evidence enough that he is a genuine brain genius
Not gonna lie there's lots of studies that greenery really does help avoid that institutionalized white room effect and things such as ICU psychosis, but also there's a reason why potted plants were removed from patient rooms because yeah plants can carry a ungodly amount of bacteria. Still would say the most dangerous place in a hospital are bathrooms family members use after raw dogging into Meemaws iso room without PPE.

believe this a million percent
my mom was in the hospital for a few weeks a couple years ago, and I got to see how my family members washed their hands
it was horrifying
I am early 40s, nobody under 30 spent any time in that room, they should all know better
The funny thing is the aesthetic and safe option is steam punk copper rails/handles/surfaces everyetc.
Copper kill bacteria and cleans itself. But it's not used due to costs.
we could have had copper steampunk hospitals but we can't, because of woke
You're disregarding the psychological damage of being in a steampunk hospital
Me, in a neck brace because even slight movement may snap my neck
"Oh no, that looks like one of them new steampu-"
Cringe
Snap.
I wake up, the nurses and doctors are there to greet me and they get to about "G'day most distinguished gentlem-" before I turn off my own life support
G'day
I, too, would euthanize myself if I woke up suddenly in Australia
If you don't do it, the kangaroos, drop bears, or clock spiders will do it for you.
The tarnish is often seen as unsanitary, though it's not, and unsightly, so the upkeep can be a lot.
In fact a lot of brass and copper decorative fixtures are clear coated to prevent oxidation, but then they also prevent the antiseptic properties of the metal as well.
Tarnished, return to the hospital, and become Isolation Ward!
Nosocomial infections are a really big deal in hospitals too. I wouldn't depend on copper alone to kill bacteria; how well does it deal with getting bleached down?
For the OP, if some snot-nosed child wiped his hand on the giant greenery wall, the bacteria flourished on the wall, then the AC brought a bunch of germs into an area for the immunocompromised then you're not gonna have a good time
What is it about western Anglo brain that makes you feel so privileged in your ignorance as to be comfortable making these grandiose and absurd statements that could truly only spring from the mind of a simpleton?
Bog standard white supremacist "I'm white, therefore I'm right."
Imo it's the individualist dogma of everyone being entitled to their opinion and the associated implication that everyone's opinion is valid and worth hearing.
I read this, and I'm suddenly realizing that I've never truly felt entitled to my own opinion, but also have never felt like anybody's opinion really matters, and that explains a lot of why I don't get along in society.
I'm a stupid dumbass. Why doesn't everybody else also realize and admit what a fucking idiot they are?
Yeah that’s a sentiment that super common place and Is just absolutely absurd when you think about it critically even a little bit
How can you be an adult and not know why scientific and medical stuff is white?
Scientific and medical stuff is white
Sensible hospital designers 
reddit race scientists
In case anyone is wondering, it's sensible cause you can see if it's getting dirty easier.
Fact check: True.
The dirty soul of the KKKracker is evident to all.
"sterile"
No shit the hospital is sterile. Do you want it dirty?
Imagine if someone throws up on the vines. How would you ever clean that?
carnivorous vines.
Little Hospital of Horrors
The cleansing flame
that's what kills me, nosocomial infections are not uncommon and can be lethal even when you observe all the safety protocols, some hospitals are simply too old and the decades of pee pee poo poo has seeped into the walls and there's nothing to do but bulldoze it and start from scratch (which would be great if we lived in the part of the world where the government can still do things)
yeah, it would be nice to have more greenerty, not i've yet to see a hospital that doesn't have at least a very small patch of greenery somewhere, or like, a tree in the parking lot, just build a garden next to the damn place
It's odd that via the counterfactual to this you arrive at the OP, which is this is a bacteria breeding ground for a whole lot of number of reasons anyways and we're rolling with that, might aswell make it look nicer if sterile isn't actually a consideration anymore
I can see how someone would think that, but to me, it's like starting to abuse coke because you're an alcoholic anyway; that's just making it worse.
Sterile huh 
Some hospitals do have atriums like this. Pleasant little places to go and reflect, or gardens on the ground.
natural light and warm colors are prolly fine (?) only making patient color non-universal across places 
greenery can only be done in those ecosystem-in-sealed-bottle tho
Harder to notice contaminants and missed cleaning spots on warm colors.
deep uv frier coming to hospital near you. i mean its a solvable thingy, slightly greener wall won't hide piss or something. Would it benefit that much - doubt it, the association depresses people not colors
I've been to a few hospitals that had some Dracaena trifasciata planted around the lobby and other public areas to improve air quality so I don't think having indoor plants in a hospital is inherently dangerous.
The defining aspect of the Internet seems to be giving the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet a platform from which to spread their stupidity.
i love bacterial and fungal infections
bacterial and fungal infections are the best!
the worm I got from drinking pond water tells me to tell all my human friends to drink pond water
don't listen to this person, they've got cordyceps
we must retvrn to humoral theory and leeches
imagibne if hospital had dirt
no john i think the patients would heal faster if they weren't worried about going fucking broke
The amount of plants that would be immediately yeeted from the proposed list would mean nothing but cactuii... maybe.
Why no sandy beaches and wave pools at the hospital? America is communist!
Great! Now you can get a staph infection and have your hay fever act up at the same time. I know that'd improve my mood if I was recovering from surgery.
I'm fully on board, you don't have to have the plants in the operating room
Is it so hard to imagine building hospitals where the patients actually enjoy being?
Surgeons need to walk through patient areas. There would be so much particulate in the air, they would have to completely airlock surgery and recovery areas from the green spaces.
