Question about at home cancer patients?


I'm having a script filmed that takes place in a hospital room with a terminally ill patient. We're having trouble finding a location, so we might shoot it in the patient's bedroom at his house.

What kind of equipment would there probably be in the bedroom?

It depends on how limited the patient is. A hospital bed, an overbed table, an overbed triangle for the patient to hold on to so he can pull himself up, a bedside commode, possibly a walker or wheelchair.

It depends on the med status of the patient.. I mean if they are on iv meds there will be a pole and maybe a pump. If they are on oxygen there will likely be an o2 tank. Most home patients arent on any kind of telemetry (sp.. the heart monitors) monitoring so that should not be a worry. In what I have seen that probably will likely be all. But there is a possibility of any number of things.

If this is not a real patient and you are just trying to make it look real, and iv pole with an iv hooked up or even just a hospital type bed is good.
