An Edinburgh woman was treated to a day out of her intensive care unit by nurses after spending months on a local ward.
Claire Vaughan has shared how she was over the moon when staff at the Western General were able to take her out to the Van Gogh Alive exhibit during her huge stay in hospital. A long-term patient in the ICU following a tracheostomy in March, Claire had told staff she was desperate to see the exhibit in the city centre as it reminded her of fond childhood memories.
The exhibition, which was in Edinburgh’s festival square for a limited time only, allowed art lovers to immerse themselves in Van Gogh’s super-scale masterpieces and absorb them from every angle, adding in sound and fragrance.
