We often hear that hospitals aren’t the cleanest places. Often, this refers to certain diseases and viruses that are circulating. However, there are situations when certain external factors can also contribute to the untidiness of these places. Recently, a Redditor shared images of a few unwanted visitors inside Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Massachusetts. The shocking part is that these stowaways have been spotted in the dining area, and contrary to popular belief, they are not there to cook some Michelin-level dishes.
Redditor Ken-Popcorn shared a video of their recent visit to the Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Massachusetts. In it, they share their “dining” experience in this locale. Apparently, there are a few rodent guests around.
The video shows a couple of mice below the counters and stools, which, as you can imagine, is not hygienic at all. These animals run around the place without caring about the world. From the looks of it, this appears to be an infestation, which could be detrimental to the hospital patients.
The sad discovery about this comes from a Redditor who claims this isn’t the only hospital that suffers from these tiny invaders.
“I’m sorry to report, this is every hospital cafeteria in existence.” – Chance_Ad_4676 via Reddit.
Unfortunately, having critters inside a hospital is considered normal, but as other Redditors note, this is a common occurrence in many establishments. However, it should not be the norm.
A few members of the Massachusetts community were kind enough to share a few of their solutions to this matter:
“I operate a skilled nursing facility in MA and worked with the state to put a program in place so we can have cats. We went from spending 50k/ month on pest control to 0.” – jsamm1023 via Reddit.
The above solution isn’t the best, but it’s still one way to keep the mice at bay. Still, it is alarming that many people see this as normal. Ideally, there shouldn’t be critters around an establishment, especially if it is a hospital. Hopefully, the staff at Brigham & Women’s will see this video and take action regarding the mouse infestation.
