Anyone who has been to the hospital knows that it can be nerve wracking at times.  You might recall, if you are in this category, screeching to a halt in front of the hospital emergency and helping your wife into the waiting room while the nurses do what nurses do.  It’s no big deal for them.  But for a new mother and father especially, it can seem like the most stressful day in their lives.

Technology has helped to ease a lot of the stress and discomfort of most trips to the hospital however.  For example, many procedures – like those involving electrosurgery – can have you in and out of the hospital within hours.  But I think there will always be a certain amount of stress involved in any trip to the hospital.
