The doctors and nurses are busy on their rounds and the patients are literally pinned to their beds.
The clinics are prepped and ready for the sick and injured, needles on hand for any procedures.
But all this mini medical action is not taking place at London’s Nightingale Hospital, it is spread out in a bungalow bedroom in Caister.
Reporters from across the country have descended on Margaret Seaman’s neat front garden, standing on the sun-trap bench to peer at her Lilliputian lockdown creation - dubbed Knittingale Hospital - and speak to her through the window.
The 91-year-old is stunned but grateful for the attention, but only if it raises money for the good causes close to her heart.
“I prefer to stay in the background,” she confesses, while rounding on a national newspaper for not putting in the Just Giving fundraising link which was “the whole point”.
Having already amazed her home county with her knitted versions of Great Yarmouth, and Sandringham House, the hospital with its fiddly beds and numerous people has been her biggest challenge to date.
Working out all the scale was a major headache, she said, her mind constantly buzzing with ways of how to do this or that, or solve a knitting conundrum.
She created her first stitch on April 1 and has been working on it everyday for up to 12 hours since.
In an ironic role reversal her daughter Tricia Wilson, 72, said she was now the one spotting the sliver of light under her mother’s bedroom door at 1am and telling her to go to bed.
“It is a bit of an obsession, it never stops,” Mrs Seaman said, even though her knitting fingers lock painfully and she has to wear wrist splints at night.
Having not been out of the house for 10 weeks, knitting had been her saviour during lockdown, she said.
The latest model also meant branching out into crafting, building and making beds, which often went wrong first time and had to be made again.
And while most of us are not going to achieve anything on the scale of Knittingale during our lockdowns she did have one piece of boredom-busting advice: “Find a hobby. Find something to do.
“Even if you are only reading. If you just sit in a chair and look out of the window you are going to be bored to tears.”
Mrs Seaman is raising money for Norfolk’s three hospitals and is reckoned to have raised tens of thousands over the years through her creations, starting with a garden pond.
