09. Is there going to be a hospital in space so when people get burns they don't have to keep turning; instead they would float and they could heal the burns faster? (A K2S Question)

There are no plans for a hospital, as we know it on Earth, to be built in space. Many concepts, such as the suggestion for burn management, are interesting, but a typical Earth practice may not be practical in the space setting.
