Will hospitals ever update their televsions in patients rooms?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) April 15th, 2010

I just had neck surgery at a well-known hospital in my city. my hospital stay was the best. doctors and nurses treated me like a king and i thank them for that. i was amazed that this hospital had outdated televisions in all the rooms. some tvs go back to the late 80s. i know the old saying. “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. i also realize that new televisions would mean higher hospital stays for all of us. but, sooner or later, the antique televisions are going to die and then what? will tvs be eliminated altogether? i know this is not a high priority on the list for hospitals, but lets face it, when recovering in a hospital room and you have no company, the tv is all thats left for entertainment. i thought my vision of the tv screen in my room was from the pain medicene i was receiving. not so, Opry Winfrey had a red face and the rain outside appeared to be a blizzard. am i blowing this out of proportion?
