When an unexpected visit to hospital turned into a lengthy stay, Linda Wride’s iPhone became her bedside saviour The post Taken while in pain and physically restrained, you won’t believe these stunningly creative iPhone photos were shot from a hospital bed appeared first on Amateur Photographer .
During an extended hospital stay in August, I found myself confined to a bed, in pain, and physically restrained by medical equipment. The experience began when I arrived at the hospital with worsening back pain, only to be diagnosed with an infected wound that had entered my bloodstream. After surgery, I was placed on the Neuroscience Red Ward, where I endured frequent IV antibiotic treatments, regular observations, and continuous pain relief medication.
The daily routine involved being connected to a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy dressing, which required a heavy pump that limited mobility. To combat the boredom of this situation, I turned to iPhone photography to document the hospital environment. Initially, I captured images of objects in my room, including the white walls, red chair, various medical equipment, and sunlight streaming through vertical slatted blinds that cast shifting shadows on the windowsill.
These photos provided a creative outlet and a means to capture the unique atmosphere of being in the hospital bed during a challenging time.
