Before admitting oneself to most hospitals, a seat in the waiting room is obligatory. But something unusual prevails here.
Hospital (Day 070) is presented as a grand tour through an experimental lab site where diagnosing urban malaise is a daily concern.

A hidden camera with a roving wiretap on local cellular phone bands. An RX paypoint outside the front lobby dispenses mental-health prescriptions to those suffering from urban malaise. A display of terminals appears to be generating phonetic wordplay – or is it random nonsense?
