Hopefully not going in for a while yet - I am one of their "semi-regulars", having a heart problem. I know the screens you mean - I was there when they were being installed, and again a few weeks ago once they were all up and running. Quite an expensive toy I thought - I got the wife to bring in my laptop so I could occupy myself in there. I even ended up converting another chap on the ward to Linux! The hospital obviously need to have the machine certified by their engineers for electrical safety - but it was no problem at all. I didn't attempt to use the wireless in there - in case it interfered with anything.
