The post-surgery rehabilitation center of the University Hospital Zurich was like a spectacle out of a sci-fi movie. Everything that could shine did shine. There was stainless steel, sleek floors, and beautiful art on the walls, making up an exquisite ambiance that was as bright as glacier melt-water or spring flowers. The air around the entire place had a pure fragrance, not sterile, just clean. Music at just the right level played in the background to give the patients and staff an emotional lift. It was unquestionably a world-class health center, and even at that late hour, the nurses and doctors were as busy as ever, moving from room to room to tend to the patients.
