Hospital power loss, 2.26.18 am
#2
I've worked in hospitals when the power went out. At one hospital, the generator was right outside the windows of the first floor patient wing. When it powered up, man, was it noisy! We had to move patients to other rooms so they could even hear themselves think.

For the most part, everything works seamlessly. Power goes down, emergency lighting come on, the equipment shifts to battery backup, and then the generators come on line. And for the most part, staff knows what to do and tend not to panic, at least in the places I worked. Can't speak for other hospitals. Smile

This dream kind of tags in on the 25Feb bot run and its references to hospitals. Might need to pay attention on this topic.
