Recovery

In summary, in comparison with the wall-view group, the patients with the tree view had shorter postoperative hospital stays, had fewer negative evaluative comments from nurses, took fewer moderate and strong analgesic doses, and had slightly lower scores for minor postsurgical complications.

Okay, so there used to be this show called "Medical Detectives," but I guess they changed the name to "Forensic Files." Anyway, it was about using medicine and science to investigate murders. The narrator for that show was Peter Addenbrooke Thomas. His voice has stayed with me and I know it whenever I hear it. 

Anyway, if you wake up from surgery with the TV on in your hospital room and you hear the voice of the guy who used to narrate "Medical Detectives," it probably isn't great for your initial recovery.
