If Lohan Is Hospitalized In England, She May Not Receive Flowers

Lohan seems to spend her share of time in hospitals.

Within the last few years she's injured her foot, her leg, and

been ill. Fortunately her hospital visits have all been within

the United States because if she'd been in a certain hospital in

England, she may not have received any flowers from her loved

ones. That's because a hospital in Gorleston, England, which is

northeast of London, has made the decision to no longer allow the

delivery of flowers to patients' rooms.

Paget Hospital representatives say the ban on flower

deliveries to the injured and ill staying in their hospital is

simply because they don't have the space for them. When hospital

administrators made the difficult decision, they took steps to

make local florists aware of the ban by sending letters to them.

Nick Covenay, director of nursing and patient services for

Paget Hospital told the Norwich Evening News, " We are asking

people not to bring in flowers because the wards are cramped for

space and they add to the clutter. The policy was introduced so

the ward is easier to clean and manage and to keep things as

minimal as possible for emergency situations. "

Although the flower ban makes things easier for the hospital, it

may not be the best thing for the patients. One florist from

Glenda's Sprig of in Gorleston expressed concern to the

paper saying, " When people are sick...receiving flowers can

really brighten up their day. "

The florist is absolutely right. Research studies have shown that

flowers have immediate positive improvements on the mood of those

who receive them. They've been shown to produce genuine smiles

and have a lasting effect on happiness.

Fortunately, most hospitals do allow their patients to receive

flowers. However, certain parts of the hospital may have

restrictions. For example, it's fairly common for the intensive

care units of hospitals to request that flowers not be sent to

the patient's room. Other hospitals may place some restrictions

on the size of the arrangements that can be sent due to space

restrictions.

To ensure your ailing loved one can receive your gift of flowers,

be sure to work with a florist local to the area of the hospital.

Most florists are familiar with the policies for floral

deliveries of the hospitals they commonly deliver to. You might

also wish to hold off on sending flowers until the patient

returns home to finish his or her recovery. Your gift of flowers

will help speed the recovery process just as well at home as they

would in the hospital.

One thing is for certain, if Lohan is ever shooting a

film in Gorleston, England, she should be extra careful not to

become ill or injured-if she is, she might have to wait until her

hospital stay is over to receive her get well flowers.
