Bellevue Hospital Analysis
Bellevue Hospital
Recently in class, I had the opportunity to view a film in which it followed what goes on inside Bellevue Hospital. Here, there were many nurses and psychologists who helped with the care and watch of the patients.
While watching the film, I noticed that a lot of the nurses and psychologists had a sense of humor behind closed doors. When they were dealing with the patients, they were serious and you could tell that they really cared about the well being of the patients.

A lot of people respond to colors, and, as previously mentioned, I think if there were more colors in the hospital, it would help ease the patients. I wouldn’t put any dark colors or colors that are associated with negative emotions, like the color blue for example. I would use vibrant colors that give off the feeling of positivity and happiness. I think this would be food for the patients because it would maybe help them stay positive and would keep the hospital looking fresh. From what I can imagine, it is not easy being in a mental hospital. From what I’ve seen, it
