I spent a lot of time in hospitals when I was a kid. I ate plenty of hospital food. And not once have I since thought to myself, “Gee, wouldn’t it be cool to eat in a hospital-themed restaurant where the food is served in flasks and I can be tied up in a straitjacket if I’m in the mood?” But a group of entrepreneurial physicians in Latvia have imagined just such an establishment called Hospitalis, thus demonstrating that the free-market system is capable of turning just about any late-night bullshit session into a business plan. Judging from the photos, Hospitalis has kitsch appeal, but I’m not sure it will garner a lot of repeat business.
And I do have to confess a certain fondness for the waitstaff’s outfits:
Wow. That’s about all I have to say. Wow. Where do you find this stuff????
The persons who have the nerve to turn such an original business dream into reality are to be admired.
Or perhaps…to be pitied, …depending on the success their plan will have.
