Laptops

[eazes 0]

Does anybody know if you can bring your laptop into the hospital? The surgeon I'm seeing will require me to stay over night at the hospital and I would like to have my laptop with me so I can watch movies or play games. Basically to pass the time. I can only do so many crossword puzzles. Also are their many hospitals with WiFi?

The hospital I stayed at had WiFi. I thought about bringing my laptop...but brought my iphone instead. Good luck to you.

I just had my surgery on May 20th and my doctor also required an overnight stay (which I highly recommend). The hospital had free Wi-Fi and I also brought my laptop with movies, etc. However, my room had a TV with cable including Encore, Starz, etc., plus several "Free Hollywood Movies." The choice to watch included Hairspray, Harry Potter, Evan Almighty, Wild Hogs, No Reservations, Elizabeth, among many others. Encore (east and west) had several good movies too.

I think it really depends on the Hospital. I was in the Hosptial for 8 days, and I brought my Laptop and had no problems. They did not have WiFi, but I have the type of cell phone with which I could use it as a Broadband modem, so it all worked out well.

As it turned out, because of the nature of my surgery, I was not able to even pull out my laptop until the day before I left the hospital. But for that day, it was a LIFESAVER!
