Hospitals are very short of funds, advertising in hospitals is a good way to get a message across to a captive audience. People don't talk much in lifts so they read the ads. Anyway hospitals are large complexes full of staff, nurses and doctors. Ads can be targetted to them as well. Hey they all need to eat somewhere, drive cars, buy insurance, look after there loved ones. Hospitals don't allow funeral palour ads - that would be tacky. Maternity and Children's areas are happy places so why not have ads there as well. Gee Whiz people spend a lot of money on new bubs and kiddies. So good luck to the hospitals who have taken aboard this great idea. Anyway the government should be funding them more. Hope you guys don't need to go to a hospital any time soon, coz they are all understaff. So I say let them raise reveue. Deb I also like Daniel’s viewpoint.

Would be great to see advertising for skydiving, safari tours or nude beaches (aka bucket list!) I like Daniel’s point.

My view is you go to the hospital when you are sick so that you can get fixed up and live! I suppose if you go to hospital enough you get used to it (although my visits predominantly revolve around getting injuries fixed :) My wife recons hospitals are full of sick people. But if you stop and watch what is happening then you will notice lots of people getting better and plenty of kids being brought into the world – happy times. Sure, people die … but people die in car accidents as well but you don’t feel uneasy about going for a drive do you? Matt, next time you are in hospital (remember they said that you are guaranteed to be back there some day), then swing past the maternity ward. I think this type of advertising would be better placed around there where mothers and fathers are now thinking about securing their family’s future.
