Recently, I crashed my mountain bike and broke my leg.
This was a very painful accident, and I was rushed to the emergency room in an ambulance.
When they were able to get my leg in a cast, I was stuck there in the bed. I had plenty of family and friends visiting, but there was one thing that really bothered me. This was the fact that the air conditioning system was always running too high. Because of the intense air conditioning, I was always incredibly cold. When I asked the nurses about this situation with the non-stop air conditioning, they let me know it was actually policy for them to run the A/C that high. Even when I tried to get them to adjust the temperature control settings, they just refused to do so. One nurse I spoke too actually agreed with me that it was way too freezing in the place, and she wished that she could make adjustments to the temperature control settings, but she might lose her job for doing so. I just requested additional blankets so that I would be able to remain warm during my rest and recovery in the hospital. I was just counting the days til I was able to get out of that frosty place. My friends and family always encouraged me and told me to hang in there. Even my father was yelling at the nurses about the temperature control settings, saying he was going to sue them if I got sick from being too cold. He actually adjusted the settings at one point himself which was nice for a little while, but they turned it back to freezing temperatures when he had to leave.
