I'm wired to a bed in a hospital for a week. AMA
(toast.ooo)
Oh okay so this is an ama. Into radios?
Okay, I'll ask the obvious. Why?
epilepsy monitoring unit
My wife is going to Stanford for that next week . Best of luck .
thanks, tell hear to be extra diligent with staff about exactly what meds she needs and when. They are medication Nazis.
Fortunately we are the medication 101st Airborne.
How long does it take on average until a nurse shows up when you press the button?
hmm ๐ค less than a minute

What are you going to do today?
suffer and hopefully talk to real doctors
Tell them they're all fake people for a free extension to your stay!
** CAUTION: may incur relocation to a different wing
but may get free lobotomy.
learned there's a big difference between night staff and day staff.
day staff is good.
Do you get to eat food? And if so, what are your meals like?
What do you do to keep yourself entertained?
surprisingly no need, things are very busy.
Especially since I'm not allowed to go to the ,๐ฝ by myself

What's the make and model of your bed?
idk but I'd like one at home ; it's electric
Are you still you or is the bed AI taking over?
oddly enough, 'I, Robot' was the first thing on the TV.
I'm sure that's not a coincidence.

I just spent a few days sitting with my FIL in hospital. We binged Gunsmoke. I am a reluctant fan of Festus now.
- do they have you scheduled for any sight-seeing like CT or MRI scans?
- can you order UberEats to your room? I watched them come and go frequently and wondered if it was for employees, inmates, or both
- do you ask all the nurses for crunchy ice?
- have you asked that one nurse for a bed bath?
- are most of the nurses pregnant like they were at my hospital? Wtf is in the water?!
24/7 EEG
other stuff was done last month
idk about uber eats, I'm poor lol.
I love crunchy ice, I'll have to ask.
I give myself washcloth baths in the bathroom ; it's ok.
Ha, they all have kids, idk if they are pregnant. A lot have those fancy flag pins now, and it's a metro hospital so maybe pregnancy is going out of style.
I think you know what's in the water.
