* It was the largest and most luxurious hospital ever seen on a passenger ship at the time. It featured a dedicated room for patients, a surgery room, a dispensary, and even a darkroom for developing X-rays.
* It was equipped with the latest medical technologies. To je vključevalo električno opremo za sterilizacijo instrumentov in izvajanje postopkov ter napredna zdravila in kirurške zaloge.
* It was staffed by a dedicated medical team. Dr. William Thomas, the ship's surgeon, was highly experienced and had a team of nurses at his disposal.
Pomembno pa si je zapomniti, da je bila bolnišnica na Titaniku zasnovana za rutinske zdravstvene potrebe in ni bila opremljena za obvladovanje katastrofe velikosti potopitve. Pomanjkanje ustreznih reševalnih čolnov in kaotična narava evakuacije sta pomenila, da veliko ljudi, ki bi lahko imeli koristi od ladijskih zdravstvenih ustanov, nikoli niso imeli priložnosti.
In addition to the above, the hospital also:
* Had a dedicated operating room. This was considered quite luxurious for a ship at the time.
* Was located on the upper decks. This allowed for a brighter and more spacious environment for patients.
The hospital on the Titanic, while impressive for its time, ultimately failed to save lives due to the scale of the disaster. Služi kot opomnik na pomen pripravljenosti in omejitve celo najnaprednejše medicinske tehnologije pred katastrofalnim dogodkom.
