OK, no life-or-death calls were lost or transferred to the bus station.  Depressingly, a slow afternoon/evening - either everybody knew which room their relativ/loved one was in and how to direct dial or pretty much nobody bothered to call them.  Best call was the LNG supplier calling to find out if we had a local power failure as they were getting an automated signal that the reserve tank for the stand-by generator was drawing down past halfway, and would we like a refill that night.

Hospital security, maintenance and the fire department all checked for a leak and could not find anything.  The LNG tech who came out and fixed the short in the monitoring whatsis actually thanked us for saving him from a deteriorating family gathering - something about alcohol and politics.

All is well, and as far as I can tell nobody died.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.
