How old/young are you (to all)?

why is it a hospital clock aus?

if anyone i havent met is there, (following auslander's example) i am 15yrs, 2 weeks, 4 days and approximately 19 hours old. but i wasnt born at midnight. i was born at half nine PM. so it would be 2 weeks, 3 days and ... approx. 5 hrs. but not good at maths, so that might be wrong.

 

i was born in a hospital, eva, so that they put my time of birth according to the hospital clock, a clock that i doubt was synched with either my watch or one of the national atomic clocks years ago.

 

oh rite yeh, i thought you'd meant like you'd just worked out the time on a hsptl clock or summat, but rite yeh i got ya. but hsptl clocks arent very accurate anyways are they? i would've thought that the nurses just check the time on their special nurse watches/wrist watches. you dont normally see hsptl "clocks", unless they have real nice ones on the mantelpiece of evry ward.

 

there's generally a clock on the wall of most operating rooms and other rooms in the hospitals around here...lol, thinking about this, i remember the room my mom told me was born in at a hospital a bit north of here...314, i believe. lol.

 

lol, well i wouldnt know about clocks in a hospital. i've never actually had to go to one on account of me, except for birth and the nose incident (when i was 4 - so nowhere near recent) and of course, visiting people, which come to think of it has only been maybe 2 people. i was born in a hospital in the next town either-north-south-east-or-west from here, a friend of mine was too. she was born in the same hsptl, same ward (theres only one birthing ward thing), like THREE hours after me.

 

How lucky you all are. I was born at home, in the country, 40 miles from the nearest hospital. We didn't have electric power at that time, so my Mother just said I was born at night.

 

i'd love to live like that, but WITH electricity in the modern world. i like the idea of an "in the middle of nowhere" sorta thing. but then you'd have problems with transport...

 

We had a car, my Dad went to get the Dr. He came to the house, voila, I was here. I personally never remember no ecectric, or phone, as we had all of that by the late 40's.

 

well thats good. why wasnt it a midwife?

 

I am 28.

 

let's try to keep such off-topic discussions of other members away from this thread, okay, porkroll?
