I know that hospitals typically have a tendency to leave the thermostat at a cooler setting so that the central air conditioner stays on, but this was different.
It was the middle of the winter, and I was pretty sure when I walked in that the furnace was broken.
Now, everyone knows that hospitals have a tendency to be colder. Hospitals always keep the temperatures on their thermostats at a colder temperature. Apparently, colder temperatures help to prevent the spread of bacteria and infection, and colder temperatures also help surgeons and doctors to do their jobs comfortably and more precisely. However, the central air conditioner shouldn’t have been on during the winter, and there was no way that the hospital would have set their thermostat to this temperature. The temperature inside the hospital building was definitely close to 40 degrees, and it was freezing. I had an appointment, and apparently, they were not canceling appointments because of the broken furnace. They did offer to reschedule because of the broken furnace, but my appointment couldn’t wait, so I had to come. They didn’t even bother to tell me that the furnace was broken. When I walked in, I took off my coat, but I immediately put my coat back on. They apologized about the furnace, but I still had to endure the colder temperatures for over an hour because of the broken furnace. I hope that the HVAC technician fixes that soon, because I have another appointment later in the week, and it would be terrible if the furnace was still broken.
