Trash Talk

It's hard to throw something away in a hospital. In our room there are 3 color-coded bins that say General Waste, Infectious Waste and Soiled Linens, plus there's recycling for cans and bottles. It reminds me of Penn and Teller's show on recycling, where they demonstrate people's desire to recycle by asking if they will comply with increasingly complex and ridiculous rules, (e.g., "This container is for slightly used tissues.") and people always agree to go along with it.

The other thing I noticed is that there is not a box of tissues to be seen anywhere. I'm presuming this is a way of being more sanitary, but how and where you're supposed to blow your nose is a bit of a mystery.
