Spring is coming?

Yesterday I was in Mina 1 Mai, checked the dispensary, been at the school, at the flat and hospital. They are waiting for the guests, and all has been fine. The central heating system is finished, in fact now John the painter is decorating the room of the doctors.
Up in the flat all was OK, put some things in the fridge and turned it on.
The plan is that Thursday morning to meet the head nurse and the doctor, Friday morning I go to the Metro with the LDS church elders and buy things for the hospital and deliver there.
Fitted a new rear door spring on the car.
The school building has new roof as well and they have now a new boiler room building at the back. And a lot of mud.
In fact a lot of mud everywhere in Mina. It looks like spring is coming...
Now I have to wash the car and go... to the airport.

A few more things

I have discussed with the head nurse and she confirmed that the burst pipe is now repaired. I really hope so, and hope that is well done. I had a meeting with the dentist in Brasov, discussed a few things, she may need some more medicines, and if so , she will give me a list and I will purchase for her. Also she was complaining about the water heater which is broken down (almost like always), water is leaking there and she can't use it. I suggested to discuss with the plumber, and I will tell this to the plumber and head nurse.
Monday or Tuesday I shall meet the LDS Church humanitarian aid elders, and it looks like we shall make a big shopping for the hospital from the Metro. I have already purchased 4 circular saw blades and a second hand sewing machine for the hospital, which was on their list.
Wednesday I will go to the airport to meet Matt and John and spend a week with them.
The weather is getting warmer, snow is melting and there is a lot of mud and water around.

Banta Singh Letter to Bill Gates

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

This letter is from Banta Singh from Punjab. We have bought a computer for our home and we found problems, which I want to bring to your notice.
1. After connecting to Internet we planned to open e-mail account and whenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only ****** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we typed appears, but we face this problem only in password field. We checked with hardware vendor Santa Singh and he said that there is no problem in keyboard. Because of this we open the e-mail account with password *****. I request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what the password is.
2. We are unable to enter anything after we click the 'shut down ' button.
3. There is a button 'start' but there is no "stop" button. We request you to check this.
4. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friend clicked 'run ' has ran upto Amritsar! So, we request you to change that to "sit", so that we can click that by sitting.
5. One doubt is that any 're-scooter' available in system? As I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.
6. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot for tracing the key with this ' find', but unable to trace. Is it a bug??
7. Every night I am not sleeping as I have to protect my 'mouse' from CAT, So I suggest u to provide one DOG to kill that cat.
8. Please confirm when u are going to give me money for winning 'HEARTS' (playing cards in games) and when are u coming to my home to collect ur money.
9. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when u will provide that?

Best regards,
Banta Singh

Patients sleeping on doors!!!!

According to the European Union standards there is a limit now how many beds can actually be in each hospital ward. This law will be valid gradually in the whole country. In order to accomplish these demands many hospitals have removed beds to make more room in each ward, to meet these standards.
By removing these beds unfortunately the number of patients are not decreasing.

So in such situation is the main Brasov County Emergency Hospital, who removed the "unnecessary" beds, and now patients have to sleep, on... doors!

You read right, on doors! And this is happenning in the centre of Brasov. Comparing to this our friends in Mina 1 Mai have a better accommodation. They surely deserve it.

Important! I was thinking hard and hard again, what to do with the patients who have incontinence. This is a real problem as nappies are expensive. And finally I magicly found the solution! See below my soution for patients with incontinence:

Do you like the vehicle? Just wonder if we can register it? (That was a joke)

Lucky Number...

Three men are in the maternity waiting room at Hadassah Hospital in Israel.
A doctor comes in and says to the first man, "Mazel Tov, your wife just gave birth to quadruplets!" The man replied, "Wow, what a coincidence, I live in Kiryat Arbah and arba is four."
Another doctor comes in and says to the second man, "Mazel Tov! Your wife just gave birth to septuplets." The second man replies, "I can't believe it. What a coincidence -- I live in Be'er Sheva, sheva is seven."
Just then, the third man faints and thuds onto the floor. The others rush over to him and one of the doctors is able to revive him. "Sir" he says, "what happened? Are you alright?" The man looks at the doctor and smiles weakly, "I live in Meah Shearim. The neighborhood of a hundred gates."

Mina 1 Mai latest

Had a good visit in Mina 1 Mai. Stoped first at the village surgery, where I had to stop the electrical heating. It was too warm inside even the heaters were on the very minimum. And the power consumption was very high. In less than 5 months it was used as much as I use at home for 15 months. Let's have a try and check it again. Inside the main room it was about 24 C, I think. Just too warm.

Within a week or two the new heating system of the hospital will be finished. In the flat's building it is already running since the end of November. Still, as one radiator from the hallway was removed and not replaced, one pipe has burst and needs replacing. The pipe is very close to the boiler, above the stairs. The flat was OK, but some roof tiles needs replacing.
At the dental surgery I checked the compressor and the dental cart. The measurements I gave to Peter. The pressure gauge of the dental cart was showing the air pressure at both drills, but not showing at the air/water outlet. The compressor needs rubber mount, about 40 cm round or square piece of rubber.

The head nurse informed me about her recent phone conversation with Dr. Grigoriu. Basically, Dr. Grigoriu would like us to continue the electrical rewiring of the hospital and changing of tubes, sockets... Also would like to capture more water streams to increase the water supply.

Also got the information that the house next to the hospital has been regained by the authorities, and the people who live in it, must empty it and leave it, as it will be hospital's property and possibly a new OT room. However they have some time to do it, is not urgent as I understand.

In the past days was very cold in this area, we had even - 20 C, no wonder the pipe has burst, now is getting better yesterday was about -8C, today -5C. But I have a feeling that the winter is not over yet.

Honesty is the best policy....

Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. So they loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north.
After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.
"I realize its terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed," she explained. "I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house."
"Don't worry," Jack said. "We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light."
The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night. Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.
But about nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.
He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, "Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north AB out 9 months ago?"
"Yes, I do." said Bob "Did you, ER, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?"
"Well, um, yes!," Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out, "I have to admit that I did."
"And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?"Bob's face turned beet red and he said, "Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did. Why do you ask?"
"She just died and left me everything."
