JFKvsNixon Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Don't forget, we are customers now, not patients. So we are charged accordingly. Quite wrong, but there you are. Angel1. The hospitals do not make a penny from the TV system installed, it's run by a completely separate company and the hospital did not get any say on the matter.

BHRemovals Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 think about how long patient will be in for may work out cheaper to buy an ipad if they are soap addicts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidneystone Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thank you,hope only to be in hospital 3 day's,so will buy probably 12hrs. 12 Hours will last just that, 12 hours. You can't have an hour here and an hour there. Whether you watch it or not, your 12 hours will be up 12 hours after it is switched on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999tigger Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Its very expensive imo. Some people are in for a lot longer than a few days. In that case you are better off with a tablet. Do they allow mobile phones and can you get a signal ok? Surely the only thing they need these days is decent wi fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisT70 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hence my post, the cards are a scam as the timer starts immediately you verify the card. So when your relative is asleep or having treatment the clock ticks. The original company went bust and was taken over after all the debt was written off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daven Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 A better way round this is to just plug it in and ignore the PAT requirement. Why so ? I am surprised you advocate such dangerous advice I have witnessed first hand what can happen on a hospital ward when a patient uses faulty electrical equipment they have brought in from home. It could have been so much worse but only involved a burnt mattress and singed sheets thanks to the quick action of nursing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
