Travel ban starts in Mass at midnight Monday (Jan 26 - Jan 27)

[merrily]

5. I don't know about hundreds of employees, but they've had folding beds

for doctors on overnight duty. They set them up in the visitors' lounges on each floor at night. Since patients are fed, medicated and bedded relatively early and the lounges are darkened, sometimes with drapes drawn, many patients never notice.

The residents and interns also had dorm-like rooms for sleeping, given the inhuman hours they are expected to keep.

As you may have guessed by now, I have been "blessed" with a number of inpatient stays, some of them long.

Something else you may or may not not have known: Mass General was the model for the hospital in the old Dr. Kildare films.

It also has a small museum nearby--free admission--tells about things like the first time ether was used, etc. I found it very interesting.
