Hospitals and Technology

My mum had to have surgery yesterday, and is doing well. My sister told me about a great faciltity that the hospital has, so I have just tried it out. On the hospital's website they have a feature to send an email or an e-card to a patient. I chose from la range of designs of cards, and entered mum's name, room number and then typed my message. The hospital will then print it out and take it to her room today - an almost instant get well card to a different country! It's great to see places like this taking advantage of a range of communication methods, and really good for family and friends who are overseas.
