Party Till the Doctor Comes

Party Till the Doctor Comes

During carnival, Cologne’s hospitals experience a peak period of intense activity, taking care of the many party people who have pushed too hard. To accommodate the extra demand, hospitals set up camp beds in corridors and first-aid tents throughout the city centre, where the sick can be treated. And in order to keep the good vibes going, even in hospital, the corridors are decorated with garlands and balloons. At the same time, many carnival enthusiasts love dressing up as doctors and showing off their individual interpretation of the medical profession.
