Yup, probably just because that's where it was, no need to move
it... :) And probably more convenient for the patient than having to
walk long halls of the hospital to get to it... :)
Probably so. LIS was in a small outbuilding with its own parking lot
(IIRC trees all around), so no mega-parking lot hassles, no "go up to
the 6th Floor".....
Indeed convenient... :)Yes. Assume it's still there -- haven't needed to go. One
consideration to move is the hospital campus it's on is now dedicated
to cancer treatment and ....something else which isn't coming to mind.
The 'good news' is the Genesis East facility, the known-general site,
is the one closest to the house so if something where self-transport
would occur would go there automatically.
And they could decide whether to keep you or to send you on to more
specialised care... :)
Right. Initially thinking being sent on means something major like
cardiac, though that particular hospital has the cardiac center. The
'send on' could be for a lesser issue: here kidney stones and the like
are usually done at an independent complex.
And with Covid being an issue now, the lesser (but still critical)True - again no person experience. I was at the urology center (independent site but affiliated with both hosital groups) for a
things have been being done at out-patient facilities to separate
them from the virus...
followup to a low-spike in my PSA level (came back down) at the
beginning of the COVID-19 and no masking and plexiglass barriers yet
but there were signs posted if one had a fever other than due to urological stones to not come in and reschedule (phrased nicer, of course).
Thank you: reminded me I have an installer coming Monday morning and I
want to make sure the come to the correct street: there's a short
half-street and it has the same address number as I do.
So, the installer got to the right place...? And you now have fiber
optics rather than DSL....?
The installer called before arrival; I did tell him not to go to the
half street which he thanked me for that heads-up and sort of
indicated it wasn't on his notes.
Might not have mattered, but knowing in advance made things moreIf one comes from one direction will hit this street first and no problems. If one is coming from the other direction will hit the half-street first and a potential problem as the street sign is, or
likely to go smoothly... ;)
has been, partially covered by tree branches so if that or simply
counting down would turn down one street too early.
The install went fine, no fiber optic service yet as the light level
from the main feed isn't sufficient -- he said '40' and I think he
said should be at 90 or greater. He did have a second tech check and
he put in a work order.
I haven't seen anyone around (though the problem could be at some far
end) nor seen anything in my account for work to be done. Actually I
didn't see anything for the installation so that kind of work might
not be on my level.
Did do an inquiry last night to try to find out what's going on and
'shake the tree' a little. Too early to have a response.
Murphy strikes again....Uh-huh! In hind-sight I'm thinking maybe I did have fiber optic
service as I never did see that red light the tech mentioned. He told
me about it outside before leaving, and then I went downstairs to see. The LEDs on looked green to me, but then so can some yellow ones look greenish. Big enough should pick up red. Well, he said.... In
hindsight maybe the master system needed a few more minutes to realize
I was connected?
In the interim there should be a post about a follow-up tech four days later and everything is all nice now. Well, a few 'headaches' because
of the new LAN IP addressing (went from 192.168.0.x to 192.168.4.x)
- 'major' computers updated, 'minor' ones to be done.
Lately we've been getting a bunch of spam calls from all over the
country: Erie, PA, Denver, IA (!), Dillon, SC. etc., etc., all with
the same recorded message. He must have some great frequent-flyer
miles!! <g>
Or a good gazetteer, to find all those varied town names.... ;)
Or my favourite: throw darts at the wall map!
It's probably an online listing of names, and chosen randomly.... ;)Possibly, have seen the same town/city come up.
Horray!! <g> Plus I half-learned how to edit the Phone Book (in the
cell phone) so when they called the number would come up identified as
the clinic and not "Unknown Name" ==> able to add several numbers under
one heading, but then found another number they had used and couldn't
figure out how to add to the original listing; cheated: made a second
header with the two numbers I found. Now "Clinic" and "Clinic 1".
Good enough for now!
That works ok, at least... :) On my cellphone, one of the options forYes, I was looking for an update option as the original (new) form
a "No Name" call is "Save to Contacts", which then gives me the choice
of "New" or "Update"... The latter lets me add it to an existing
listing as an additional number... Just did that with our dentist
office... we both were there for our 6-month hygenist visit, and the
routine at the moment is call from the car to let them know you are
there, and then they call back when they are ready for you to come into
into the office... I was called in first, so I handed the phone to
Richard to wait for his call... later I saw that the first call was the
one I had in the directory, the second call was an alternate number...
It's now added to the directory... :)
allowed home, two or three work numbers, FAX, etc. Would allow and update, so theoretically couldn't even correct and we know that's not correct. For right now the 'Clinic', 'Clinic 1', if needed 'Clinic 2' will work, though the latter might be enough to trigger reading the manual!

My next one is coming up in December... ;) They probably have no
real need to move your machine, no matter how hospital usage
changes.... ;)

My experience has been second-hand, with people I know dealing
with things like that... And the way the offices have been

Were you to go now, no doubt there would be masking and barriers
along with the fever warning signs.... :)

"just because" there are barriers doesn't mean the little coronavirus nasties can't travel through the paperwork pass-throughs and spaces
around the barriers, so the masks are still needed.

I don't think I have a manual for my phone.... But, anyway... I'dI've either downloaded the electronic version of the manual (and
guess that the function would show up under the options when you
go to view the new number for the Clinic... :)
whatever else of interest I can find) and save to
/File Cabinet/Manuals/<Manufacturer> <model> <description>
If no electronic version or something I want (like serial number
sticker) just scan that.
Not really trying to minimize paper, just easier not to paw though a
bunch of folders. BTW, and may be part of my over-zealousness - file cabinet paperwork goes in a hanging folder which has either a regular
file folder in it or an envelope style ==> folder with accordion sides
so small stuff doesn't fall out. The use hanging folders keeps the folders (inside) from sliding/drooping.
