That is one of the reasons I posted. It was such a 'learning' experience, and an eye opener.

Thanks everyone. I KNOW that in part, BECAUSE Dad was OK, that is why we were able to 'observe' so much of what was happening around us. On the other hand, if he had been in more serious shape, we wouldn't have remained in the hallway, we'd have been transferred to a room for care and treatment.

I often have to remind D: if I had wanted a medical education, I'd have gone to med school.
