Orbiting Within Kaiser Permanente's Gravitational Force Field

Went last night to Kaiser Permanente's Morse Avenue Hospital, to visit Friend Brian, who recently had surgery. First time I've ever been there. I found the 4th floor strange - an outer hallway, where visitors can roam in circles trying to find a nurses' station (or any human beings at all), and a hidden, inner corridor, where shy nurses can lurk until the visitors wear themselves out roaming in circles. Brian says everyone at Kaiser is nice. Like me, he was excited by the new nitrile gloves that seem to be replacing latex gloves everywhere. The nitrile gloves at Kaiser are purple, whereas the ones at Mercy San Juan Hospital are blue. Brian stressed the importance of visiting the hospitalized sick, so don't let the empty outer hallway scare you too much!
