Competence not Privacy

The ward Enrique is in is totally different from the others he stayed in.

There are no rooms (just curtain dividers). But that means the nurses are
always within earshot.

Also, the patients around him seem to be much sicker.

Nothing makes you want a private room like overhearing a discussion of
bloody vomit during breakfast.

The other main difference is that all the staffers have been really
competent and the whole place feels very well run.

In some of the other units, after 24 hours, I was better able to find
supplies and make things happen than some of the nursing assistants.
