TONSILLECTOMY AND ALPHA THUNDER TAGS
So just this morning, I had to drag myself out of bed; my comfortable, lovely and relaxing bed at 3:30am. Not only did I have to wake up, I had to put pants on and leave the house completely. Why, you ask? I have a sister. I have a sister that just keeps getting Streptococcus. Her tonsils just can’t handle the everyday germs like you and I, so it was time to part ways. They had to go; and apparently I was the only one that could drive her. Ever heard of Uber? The one good thing, if there was one, was I got to talk again about how great Alpha Thunder Tags are.
You might be asking where the connection is there. How can my sister’s tonsillectomy have any relation to Alpha Thunder Tags? Working in the LP industry makes me feel like an old man that talks about the “good ole’ days’ every chance I get. Instead of the days of yore, I like to talk about ways to stop criminals. Criminals get hurt and have to go to the hospital too, you know!
I’m sitting in the little waiting room area and there is literally no one in the surgical wing at this hour. There are a few nurses at the floor station and the halls are dead silent. I kind of wanted a career change at that moment. I notice that the nurse and staff all do their charting electronically, on iPads. Very carelessly, they set them down and walk away. Anyone with a dishonest bone in their body could simply walk by, scoop it up and be on their merry way before anyone would ever notice. Hospitals just don’t think like an LP manager does, I guess. For me, tablet theft is a very real problem in my store and we work extraordinarily hard to prevent it.
Back to the surgery! The tonsils put up a valiant fight, but in the end the scalpel was too much of a challenger. In the recovery ward now, in a little room, waiting for my kid sister to wake up from the cocktail of sleepy time meds, a nurse comes in to check on her; using an iPad of course. I have no one else to talk to so I ask if there’s ever been a tablet theft. I then have to explain what I do for a living before she realizes I’m not really interested in stealing her iPad. Her answer didn’t surprise me. She tells me that a few have gone “missing” over time, but didn’t think that people in hospitals steal.
While you may have a great team of employees in a hospital and maybe employee theft isn’t a problem, the fact here is that a hospital is open to the public. Anyone can simply walk in the front doors, and walk the hallways late at night looking for a table to steal. If questioned, they can just say they are visiting a family member and got lost; there’s no way to verify this. Not only that, but criminals get hurt. Normal people who get hurt have thieves in their family that will come visit them. Patients may also be kleptomaniacs. Bet you never thought about that before!
To easily protect your hospital, or private practice from tablet theft, Alpha Thunder Tags are the easiest, most cost effective method to do so. The small tag can be applied to all your devices (and not just tablets, either) that would give an audible alert anytime they passed through an antenna (which are basically invisible). This simple tool will not only protect the investment in the hardware, but will also help bolster any software tools you’re using to protect patient data. If you’re looking for a way to secure your tablets, look no further than the rumble of Alpha Thunder Tags.
