I spent most of the day yesterday at the hospital where a friend was<br>
recovering from surgery. I fetched his bride over there (she doesn't drive)<br>
and hung around for about six hours to haul her back home, but didn't stay<br>
in his room for more than about a minute, because I didn't want to risk<br>
exposing him to my germs.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It was cold and blustery outdoors, so I walked just over 8 miles indoors<br>
yesterday inside the hospital in Sunnyvale, a nice, clean, modern multistory<br>
facility. I realized that by walking the halls of a hospital I was exposing<br>
myself to more airborne diseases than if I parked my ass in a chair.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Then a thought occurred to me: the hospital segregates the patients<br>
according to the nature of the malady from which they suffer. Of all the<br>
floors in that hospital, the one I paced for hours is probably the safest by<br>
a good margin.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Puzzle: any educated guesses on which malady that hospital floor treats?<br>
