Thinking out of the box or too stressed?

One of our hospitals is facing capacity issue, i.e. not enough beds / wards...other than further space expansion, my manager came out with the following idea...

She suggested: why don’t we have double-deckers in our wards...
Our response: we are a hospital, not a hotel / hostel...and how are the nurses supposed to bring the patients up to the upper level?
She: haven’t u heard of the pulley system?
Us: alamak n speechless...
She: n patients are not supposed to move around, so by warding them at the upper level, it fits the purpose...
Us: she must be too stressed!
