28. 14 feet is sufficient to accomodate a hospital bed and a medical team working a patient.

Along with any equipment necessary and a crash cart. So that's why you need 14' hallways.

16' is so wide as to create the illusion that two beds will pass each other easily which creates a hazardous situation that might result in harm to patients or staff. Wider-still hallways present issues of structural stability in an earthquake. That's why you can't have hallways wider than 16'.

(This is all bullshit...but it's passable bullshit. As my friend Charlie used to say, "If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.&quot
