[plug] Wireless Internet access in Perth CBD?

[Ari Finander]

I was released a few hours ago.  While I was anchored to the 'medicine' pump via my jugular I spoke with the person in charge of the ward and they were very keen on the idea.  They've given me the contact details (snail mail, blah) of a person to contact within RPH to try and get the ball rolling.  The BMTU is a very lonely place and patients there are really fighting for their lives for long periods of time, and they don't get to go out in many cases so they (we) are just stuck on that ward.  I'll get back to the group with more information when it becomes available.  In the mean time, please feel free to continue to provide suggestions.

Ari
