New Hospital?

A while ago, there was this elderly gentleman who came in to the ED with chief complaint of body weakness that started after a sudden fall.

After a while,

Patient: Excuse me, can you please tell me in which hospital I am
Me: You are in the emergency department in *hospital name*
Patient: Oh I see
Me: Do you live anywhere nearby?
Patient: Yes I do live very close. I thought the ambulance brought me to another hospital because the place looks brand new!

I couldn't help but chuckle...The hospital I am currently placed at is pretty old. According to one article I previously read, it was built in 1882 and of course, since then, there have been quite a number of renovations.
