hospital literature

I just brought my friend to the hospital to get a follow up x-ray of her broken wrist and as I sit here in the waiting room I can't help but ask myself why there are nothing but health magazines. I mean, I understand that the context is right but wouldn't you think that people would want to get their minds off of their medical problems instead of convincing themselves that they have more or even worse health problems than that which they're here for in the first place. I'm probably missing something but I like to rant. Enjoi.
