There are many reasons that I think a hospital on a hill is a bad idea. Here are my top 5:
1) Sick people don't have the strength to climb hills
2) Parking
3) Ambulances are not the best vehicles to speed up winding steep roads
4) Earthquakes + Gravity
5) When the fog settles around the hill, and a patient unfortunately has end-stage disease, they may look out their window and have a terrible existential moment. Am I already in Heaven? Is Hell this hospital room where I have to see the same residents everyday, much like Sartre's play No Exit? No joke, the following is a picture from the hospital on a hill.

Dude that photo's awesome. I finihsed Harry Potter 7 not long ago, really enjoyed all of them, especially the last few and book 7 itself was probs my favourite.
Is that picture stolen from Google search? Bec. otherwise - WOW, that looks like something out of a disney cartoon movie.
It was stolen from a google search, and I was going to credit the flickr person who took it, but I lost the link. The hospital is totally bizarre. Because it's on such a steep hill, you can exit to the outdoors on the 1st floor in 1 building, the 8th floor in the next building, and the 10th floor in the next building.
Harry Potter 7 was fantastic. I want to read it again when I have time.
"you can exit to the outdoors on the 1st floor in 1 building, the 8th floor in the next building, and the 10th floor in the next building."
I want to go to there.
Also, I don't know what to read anymore now that I've got to the end of Harry. I would read them again in the future, but what do I do now?! :(
I have no time to read for fun, though I've started life with jeeves.
I need to re-read HP 7. I was not down with it the first time I read it, but that was the day after it came out and I read it in about 2 minutes (speedy excitement reading). A lot of people seem to be reading it and really enjoying it lately though.
Reading suggestions: NOT Twilight. How about hitting up a classic you always hoped to read but never got to? I'm on Catch-22 and man, it is messing with my head.
I'd quite like to re-read it even though I spent a few days on it. I can't do speed reading :(
I interrupted 1000 splendid suns to start the HP series so i may just go back to that now. For some reason I really want to read Invisible Cities as well.
It's funny that you said not Twilight cos I did actually consider it for a moment after HP. I don't know much (anything) about it but I think I'll take your advice and leave it well alone.
Where have all the ballers gone?!?!?! :)
interview season makes it terribly difficult to blog, we'll be back soon!
We will be back soon! We will blog about interviews and other exciting happenings soon....
Awesome! Looking forward to it :) Hope interviews are going well insha Allah.
It's not a hospital on a hill, it's a treehouse for adults. What, no picture of the longest pedestrian skybridge in North America?
And yes, we love it here.
