Most hospitals, today
have gift shops and food courts which
brings in an extra income for the hospital.
Probably the first such shop in a hospital was the Bikur Cholim Hospital in Yerushalayim, established
almost 200 years ago.
The shop didn't sell flowers
or chocolates.
When
“The Ashkenazi Perushim Hospital”
(original name before it changed to
Bikur Cholim Hospital)
opened up, the Rabonim made a
Takana
that the only place
one may purchase Tachrichin
from, was from the hospital
shop.
Even people who had their own
Tachrichin had to pay the
equivalent to the hospital.
This Takana somehow
wasn't enforceable. It didn't last long
and ended up becoming a
forgotten piece of history.
