In the ER of the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), the beds of patients under observation are everywhere, spread all over the ER like the roots of a tree. Numbers are hung on the walls of the corridors. As soon as a patient is admitted, one need only place a bed under the next number and the patient has his bed space.
走進台大醫院急診室，留觀的病床一床接一床、像樹根般在急診室裡蔓延開來，走廊牆上也標上了號碼，病患一來，只要在號碼下方加一張床，馬上變成一個床位。
