Palomar West The Hospital of the Future
I just got back from the Hospital of the Future in Second Life, Palomar West, I think I am about a pound lighter after the experience. This place will be something else and if it is truly like this in rl, it will certainly draw people to the area looking for better healthcare. The virtual version has a GREAT walk through demo of what it will be like, taking you through the room, surgery and recovery, it is definitely worth checking out.
This is the main lobby, make sure you have updated your version of QuickTime to the latest, I had not upgraded mine when I first got there and couldn’t get the bracelet that you need to try it out.
I need to have my gall bladder removed, Oh Noes!
This is my Doctor, Dr. ummm, I forget, I should try to remember that.
Look my insides displayed on the wall.
Is it morning already?
Guess so!
Wow, a whole team of doctors, just for me?
Doesn’t this guy look like one of the criminals from the CSI: NY sim? Or is it that noob I keep running into at that sex exercise place?
Back in my room, optimized for recovery. In Palomar West you always have the same room, all to yourself, and they bring the equipment to you.
Ahh, the green grass and fresh air sure make you feel better, wait, I guess that’s the point.
They say, “Your comfort and care are our top priority”, well, I believe it if the real thing will be anything like the virtual version.
Here is a short video tour.

Having had a rl gallbladder removed, I went off to see what this hospital had to offer the NHS doesn’t.
Seems gallbladder problems are common in sl, I too had the same complaint. Operation was quick, easy and painless. Recovery time was super fast. But it was a fun experience.
In my opinion rl hospitals have a long way to go to beat this one.
