I think you're what they describe as a bed blocker
It is crazy though, that for the sake of a 1 hour slot on magic machine, you can take up a hospital bed for several days. I know when my mother was in and out, we waited 4 days for the pharmacy to get act together (they'd buggered off early on Friday, so she was stuck till Monday, then they got it wrong). Madness.
I found it quite amusing that the cardiologist, when asked when the angiogram might take place, just shrugged helplessly and said "We don't know, we just have to wait for them to ask us to send people"
FTFY
FirstWorldPrlblems is being sat near service desk in the loung to be near the champagne and having to listen to Americans complain as they’ve missed their flight. Heck they are early so are in the Sheraton - the Hilton is an additional 5 minutes walk
The nurses have just done the handover to the night shift, and so one of the new ones came round to do our blood pressures and what have you. They record this data on an iPhone, which communicates with some central repository. Anyway, this nurse was complaining about how bright the screen was set and that she didn't know how to change it, so I showed her how to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access Control Centre and adjust it
