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. James 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 James 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 Heather 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 Lindsay 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wesley Berry is member of the American Academy of Floriculture (AAF) and President of Wesley Berry Flowers (http://www.wesleyberryflowers.com), a successful multi-million dollar floral business that was established in 1946.
