Asked to Leave the Hospital Emergency Department

I got kicked out by the triage nurse at Lahey Hospital.

"Sir, I am talking to her, not to you".

I said a sick 80 year old may be a little confused about things.

"She can talk for herself".

Um, no she can't.

She didn't know dates she was in the other hospital or her meds.

But I'm not allowed to answer.

Or give them her meds list.

"Sir you need to leave now".

A perfectly healthy person could be overwhelmed in a hospital, let alone one who was in another hospital for 9 days and is screaming in pain.

I later asked the front desk person for the triage nurse's supervisor but was refused.

Security guard came.

Front desk woman then said "unless you have legal guardian paperwork you can't be here".

I have legal Power of Attorney paperwork that specifies medical situations (legally I can place her into any hospital or facility) among many other things.

"That is not accepted here".

Even though it was drawn up by a lawyer years ago and it's been used to buy & sell property, file income taxes, and much more.

But this place has decided that they won't honor this legal document.

Solar Juice Solar Powered Charger/Solmate Universal Portable Solar Cell Phone Charger - Review

http://www.asseenontv.com/detail.php?p=458339

This item goes by two different names. I have tried both of them (because the store doesn't accept returns; they only do exchanges). Both of them worked exactly the same.

1) Takes way too long to charge. The pamphlet inside says that it takes 15-20 hours of sunlight to charge. Most of us don't get 20 hours of sunlight. It can be charged in about three hours by USB, but the point of this is that it is supposed to be solar powered.

2) The power output is barely a trickle. It doesn't work at all on my tablet. On my Android phone a full charge of this device lasts about 40 minutes and only gives me about 12-17%. After charging it in the sun for 20 hours.

There are many other external USB batteries that cost less money than this and have better power output and better charging capacity.

10/4

This week and especially this date in history is meaningful in many ways for me: I started working at my two best jobs (which became my career), friends got married, and another getting married today.

So with the #GovernmentShutdown are we supposed to keep track of our own phone calls & internet activity and report them to the #NSA?

Wicked Fast!

On the radio tonight

One of my awful friends does a terrible radio show that I'm doing a new segment on sometime between 6-8et. It's Eve Radio on the TuneIn app

#R.I.P.D. #3D

I know about a half dozen people who worked on it but I didn't see any of them for sure. I could barely see myself as a quick blur in the background (the guy they investigated who works at Fenway Park hid behind me so Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds wouldn't see him from across the street, so I hoped to be more than just a momentary flash in the film).

Lots of action! I liked it and thought they did a really good job with the special effects and with the 3D. The 3D wasn't overly used for silly nonsense but it added a nice depth-of-field and a few occasional times of things flying at us. Maybe the 3D is the reason I couldn't see people I know in the background so I may have to go see it again in non-3D, but for the best overall experience I suggest everyone pays the extra few dollars to see it in 3D.

Why do I bother paying for slower home internet than I get on my phone
