What is dinosaur hospital?

[soljhs, BSN, RN]

So I was talking to this nurse today and she described canada hospital as dinosaur hospital. Does anyone know what this means? Haha

[klone, MSN, RN]

I would guess she means that the hospital is old.

Oh ok thank you

[River&MountainRN, ADN, RN]

My guess one of the following:

1. The hospital building is old

2. The hospital staff are generally older

3. The hospital's patient populations are generally older

Or that the hospital is old fashioned.

The word "dinosaur" has a deprecative connotation, implying something that is outdated or obsolete; resists change or is old-fashioned.

My guess is that the hospital is stagnant and not on the cutting edge of treatment.

"Dinosaur Hospital" could also mean that they only treat dinosaurs, like Dino.

But I don't think so.
