  1. Give the hospital a break. The cost of first class stamps just went up and it rise wasn't in their current budget.

  2. And no one will lose their job over this, not sure what the reporting rules are, but pretty sure it should be within a day or two of the death,

  3. Apparently, the hospital duly notified Sacramento Coroner’s Office staff, but the office was closed that week for a meeting.
    No, wait... the staff was away from their desk, and should return shortly.
    On another line?
    Safety training?
    Telephoned bomb scare... traced to a telephone in the vivisection room?
    Another mandatory Union [stands, salutes] meeting?
    An unusual odor, requiring EMTs, oxygen masks, and several work-weeks to recover?
    .
    Plumbing leak in the break room!
