Worried about your surgery or are you going to be nervous for your scheduled hospitalization? It is totally normal to feel anxious before a surgery. But Google maps can help you. Yes, you heard it right. This is what I was telling to my doctor colleagues in a recent seminar and others supported my view. By using Google maps people can virtually experience in hospital which may reduce their anxiety in emergency. Here is a 360 degree video of an operating room. You can virtually experience what is happening inside.
A few hospitals in our city already opted for professional Google street view inside imagery and they published it into Google maps. Apart from their business benefit I believe it helps patients as well. Here are some examples.
@Yohanad @StephanieC Yesterday I saw some beautiful 360 photos of different locations in this forum. Having 360 degree inside view of space station and business listings such as hotels, restaurants are nice. Now 360 views are available in Hospitals as well. To inform this news to others I am tagging you in this post.

@DrShaunak This is really educative and informative. I think it's time wie can also have a board for Travel and Health Tips. This is board will not be meant to provide professional health care services but just to give out helpful health tips such as this. We can have doctors like you as well moderating the boards and providing valuable health tips. I think I will make this Feedback to the Local Guides Connect Team as well. Thank you @DrShaunak for sharing this information with us 👏
I did made a feedback as well:https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Feedback-and-Feature-Requests/Feedback-To-Have-Travel-amp-Heal...
