Allegedly they have the “fastest MRI machine in the state, possibly the country” (according to the receptionist). (Apparently they have a 3T.) True to the receptionist’s word, the technician promised the scan would take 7 minutes, but it only took 5.5.
I’ve had a bunch of tests in the office and they have all kinds of (what seems to me to be) very advanced technology in their basement. However … Their elevator is ancient, slow, claustrophobic and a little scary. Riding it, one wouldn’t anticipate the technology one encounters after.
Anyway, I think it’s pretty funny that they have a sign - mounted at adult eye level - seemingly to provide instructions for someone who’s never ridden an elevator before.
edit: Replaced photo with one with identifying info censored.
Some of the adults that have lived in my tower for many years also don’t seem to know, or learn, how the elevators work.
They’re going down but push both buttons, making people going up stop at their floor for no reason.
They’re going up but the elevator is going down, they get in anyway and can’t select higher floors until it goes to the basement.
Although some old elevators can be confusing. An old building where I lived had an elevator with hinged doors that you had to pull, then a metal accordion gate that you had to slide. Once the floor was selected an arm would push the gate shut and hold it until destination was reached, then release it. You still had to pull the gate manually then push the door to exit. Friends made jokes about the Titanic era elevator when they visited that place.
Anyway as a city dweller I find them ordinary but I have to remind myself that some people don’t encounter them very often.
The one from the picture seems simple enough but if there’s a sign, someone got tired of explaining it.
