Power outages create problems at BMT clinic

Traffic to the BMT clinic was even lighter today than it was a week ago and when I walked into the registration lobby at the clinic and found nobody waiting I thought I was in for a short visit. But then I learned that they were very busy because of a power failure early in the morning that shut down all the computers in the hospital and all the chairs in the Infusion room were full of patients that had been waiting for procedures, in some cases, hours. The fans that cool their servers were shut down by the power failure and most of the computers in the hospital were not functioning. I needed 2 prescriptions to be refilled but the pharmacy was not filling any prescriptions and I will have to go back up sometime before Friday when one of them will run out.
