"May you live in interesting times." ??? [grin]
Though unexpected, things were such that it was a convenient time to have it done; no yard work needs to be done since the grass signed off for winter.
The hospital actually had a "Patient Transport" department who sent guys to wheel me around the various departments. The main hospital is over a century old and is probably 90% additions now, so it’s a maze inside. One of the PT guys said it took him weeks to learn where everything was.
OR was on the other side of the campus, and we went through a long series of double doors. Apparently they’re keyed to RFID or Bluetooth since they opened automatically each time we went through one. I made a comment about the opening scene of Monty Python’s "Meaning of Life", but the PT guy had never heard of the movie, and I’m fairly sure he didn’t know who Monty Python was, either. Kids today…
The other interesting thing was the hospital was quiet inside; no blaring PA system yammering "Code Blue, Room 2214, Stat… Nice Try, Guys." I’m pretty sure they’ve moved to cellphones for all the stuff they used to do on the PA.
