Intense security? Went to hospital to visit my mom after knee surgery, walked in and to her room without a word from anyone. Only a reception desk at 2 of the entrances, and they don't even say hello unless you walk up to them, all others you can just walk in and stroll the halls as you please. CCH in Sanford.@RatLabGuy, You'd argue the ears off a billy goat...
First off, you have to check in and out. A hospital has some intense security beyond the information desk. There's no way anyone not a patient or family/ friend can come into a waiting room. (I am pretty familiar cause I've been in one on and off for the past 2 weeks).
The homeless sleeps anywhere in cardboard boxes. Those uncomfortable chairs would be Cadillac's. And the 1 news station that you can't change becomes re-run news and gets boring in the first 30 minutes.
You had to make me do a search..."Usually, these rooms are designed for functionality instead of comfort. In most cases, hospitals go the most cost effective route for waiting rooms for they are purchasing hundreds of chairs at a time. Hopefully, what comforts that may be missing in the waiting rooms are made up for in patient rooms."
Everybody agrees that they don't make a sanitary dependable recliner (yet) or they would have them. Food and personal belongings fall in the cracks and then there's the children playing on them (people fighting over them) with liabilities and sorts like that.
But they are companies specializing in comfortable waiting room chairs that are doing very well. But the price is so much more it's only a consideration. These companies explain that half the time the hospital is a choice and they WANT you to come there. It's just now come into play with technology and patient experience having more to do with waiting rooms for every ounce to edge out the competition.
But totally agree with "recliners are expensive. And break. And people fight over them."
yeah you caught me, I do liek to argue. Just too much fun.@RatLabGuy, You'd argue the ears off a billy goat...

I use my flashlight app daily. Not only as a flashlight but it also provides a viewfinder you can zoom so it's great for looking at stuff up close.
@RatLabGuy
UNC (campus hospital) and UNC in Hillsborough. I like to argue as well but I do it to learn. Most the time I think I'm right until I am forced to research it and most the time realize I'm wrong. But I like to see where / how I'm wrong in the process so I don't make the same mistake again. I usually try to base all my opinions on common sense but that ain't always the best. Plus it passes time away and this site would be boring without arguers like you here.
When is smartphones going to get something REALLY useful. Like a bottle opener, corkscrew, knife blade, flat/ star/ square and phyllips heads, tweezers. The kind of stuff a swiss army knife has...
b/c the phone provides the smarts for them.
that makes you the squirrel
Whens the last time you needed a cork screw???
You maybe,but I don't picture him as much of a world traveler.
I bought one of these in silver a few months ago:

Best multi-tool I've used. Everything I need, and nothing I don't...I don't miss the scissors, that's what trauma shears are for
I thought so,I pictured you as more of a boxed wine kinda guy anyway.
