Re: OT Theft in the hospital

I pack very lightly when I go to the hospital. The only things that I

take are toiletries and a change of clothes. I will have to wear one of

those God forsaken hospital gowns while I'm there. I'll be there for four

days post procedure.

Theft is, unfortunately, common in hospitals.  Take a laptop with

you only if you are willing to accept the risk of theft of the computer

and the information on the hard drive.

Never, ever, ever take anything valuable into the hospital. They don't want you

to do it. 

The valuable either. Certainly no credit cards. I always kept my drivers license

and keys in my purse, and my lunch money in my pocket even I had a lock on my

little locker.

A hospital is essentially a public place, and multiple people come into a room

each day. There are hundreds of people who work in most hospitals, not to

mention the visitors.
