Telephones are available in every patient’s room. To make a local call, dial 8, wait for the dial tone then dial the number you wish to reach.
For long-distance calls, you must reverse the charges to your correspondent or use your calling card. Just dial 0 and ask the operator to place your call. This service is offered between 8 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.
You can receive calls between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily. Give your family and friends your room number as soon as possible so they can reach you. If you change rooms during your hospitalization, be sure to provide them with your new telephone number.
