The NP screwed up. The nurse call button is the nurse call no matter what color it is. The red switch on the wall sends a signal to they nursing station that requires attention fight now. It does not Sound a siren in the hospital. I find your story funny but untrue. I worked on these systems for twenty years as a hospital engineer along with everything else to keep the hospital running smoothly.

Football was a very deadly sport Who ever was carrying the ball got piled on. Broken bones and death were common, Things changed with protective gear and the forward pass.

This is just another language that you learn. The dots and dashes are part of it. They are the voices that you hear. Do you text? You don't hear a voice then Just the one in you head as you read it.

Also when you are"talking" with the same group of guys you learn how they each throw their key. Each is different like their tone of speech.
