This meant I had to physically visit each patient room - about 200 of them - and mark a spot on the wall for installers who came later.
Most rooms were occupied when I arrived, so I would knock on the door and say, "Pardon me. I'm a computer guy. I need to look at the wall over there."
I will never forget the response from one patient (mid-30s) who was sitting up in the bed: "Aren't you supposed to be 19?"
