Every hospital should have a patient education library ! It could just be a simple 100 square foot structure as pictured above, with books, TV and an internet terminal, staffed by a librarian or nurse, to help patients ( and their family members) get answers to their questions ! Not only will this save the doctors' time ( because they can "refer" them for "information therapy" to the librarian; it will help to create a lot of goodwill in the community !
