Hospital air: pleasing but unhealthy?

Although they have solar panels on the roof below my room on the sixth floor of Samitivej Hospital, which I take to be a manifestation of political correctness, they also blast air conditioning all over the place. I expect that it would take more than 30 square meters of panels on a typical hot but murky Bangkok afternoon (with about 200 watts/sm of sun power) to power my 24000 BTU room aircon machine. Whether it's the temperature or dryness of the air, it hurts my skin. 

Solution: call for a 30 watt fan, which they readily bring.

Number 2 setting, blowing off the quarter or whatever sailors call it when they are tacking against the wind. Much better!
