The Mechanical Nurse At Guy’s Hospital Is Equal Parts Creepy And Brilliant
September 8, 2025
This mechanical nurse asking for donations at Guy’s Hospital in London is truly a sight to behold.
"It's better give than to receive" is the hospital's motto.

How It Works
A nurse figure spins in circles with a cup in hand, encouraging donations. When a coin is dropped into the slot, the machine springs to life—sending the coin to a “sick patient,” whose mouth opens wide to swallow it.
The patient then slowly rises and beams with a smile.

The quirky creation is the work of Tim Hunkin, an English engineer and artist known for his wonderfully offbeat machines. His distinctive style makes everyday interactions—like giving to charity—memorable, surprising, and just a little bit eerie.
Whether you find it creepy or captivating, one thing’s certain: this mechanical nurse knows how to get people talking — and giving!
