 What
is the policy regarding cellular phones?
Please refrain from using your cellular phones anywhere on hospital
premises. It has been proven that these phones can seriously interfere
with the functioning of certain medical equipment. Cellular phones
may be allowed within certain patient rooms; please check with your
nurse.
What
are the types of beds?
Your bed is specially designed for your ultimate comfort and safety.
You may adjust the height of the head or the legs of your bed by
simply pressing the up/down buttons on your safety bars. For your
own safety, the side bars of your bed should be up at all times.
Is
there a nurse calling system?
The Nurse Calling system allows you to communicate with your nurse
from your bed or from the bathroom at any time you feel the need.
The system also allows the nurses to monitor you from their posts
at all times.
What
is the hand-held unit?
The hand held unit has three basic functions: The TV button switches
the TV on/off and scrolls through the channels; the light switch
turns your light on/off; and most importantly, the nurse button
gives you hands-free access to communicate with the nursing station
whenever needed.
What
about the television service?
As mentioned above, your hand-held unit controls the channels and
volume of your television set. Patients may choose from a variety
of local channels, or, for a nominal charge, a remote control for
cable channel access may be requested from the Admissions Office.
For your comfort, and for the comfort of other patients
on your floor, we appreciate you keeping the volume of your television
set to a minimum.
What
about telephone service?
To make an outside call, dial 0 followed by the number. Calls will
be charged to your room. For internal calls, dial 1 followed by
the extension.
Are
there fax services?
You may send and receive facsimile messages through the hospital.
For outgoing faxes, please call the hospital operator at ext. 9
for assistance. For incoming faxes, the hospital number is: (00-961-602
318).
What
are the visiting hours?
Visits from family members and friends are important during recuperation;
however, your rest is also important. For this reason, we limit
visiting hours to between 10am - 12:30pm, and 4pm-8pm. Children
under the age of 8 are not allowed. If at any time you do not wish
to receive visitors, please inform your nurse.
Can
relatives stay?
A close family member who wishes to stay may do so by requesting
an extra bed from the nursing station on your floor before 6 pm.
There will be a nominal charge for the bed.
