Healing with nature

Implementation

In a classic 1984 study with patients recovering from gall bladder removal surgery in a suburban Pennsylvania hospital, some convalescents were able to gaze at nature while the others saw only a brick wall. Those with trees outside their window recovered faster, and requested fewer pain medications, than those with a "built" view. They even had slightly fewer surgical complications.
