The Not-So-Late Public Service Announcement

 

"Falls Galore" by Herr D in Paint3d. An interesting idea--Not to scale, but not unreasonable for time and distance by probability. Unfortunately, bad ideas are much more common.-Shelob

Shelob? Here.

[cam picks up both-eye blink times two] So, I have this late public service announcement? Please explain.

One of the things my company does is crunch numbers for people. The local hospitals asked us to tabulate some files (with patient identifiers removed to preserve HIPAA) and figure out some data about recent emergencies. I didn't see most of the project, but GOOD GRIEF! A lot of people fell compared to normal. I stayed awake working imagining someone calling up Google Earth and seeing lots of soles of feet sticking up all over Northern Virginia. I didn't bother putting anything but  soles in the graphic I just made [upload] but this is still somewhat funny. Please! Everyone! Give your local hospital less work to do! Be careful! Sound advice at all times, so it is not late. Thank you, Herr D. [disconnect]
