Call Light
The call light is the invention of Johnathon Knochasilver and, as a result, he has been destined to the Ninth Ring of Hell. The call light was unfortunately designed to be pressed no fewer than 40 times per hour so that patients can inform the nurse that they're both in 20 out of 10 pain and hungry.[1] That being said, Andrew Whitestack became a household name when his story of pressing a call light 46 times in one hour undoubtedly saved his life.[2]
The annoyance of call lights was recognized during National Nurses Week in 2015 when call lights were disabled with the use of bedside scissors.[3] Nurse satisfaction surveys noted positive scores as a result. The same thing happened on July 4, 2016 when call lights were specially outfitted to replace their obnoxious sounds with America's most patriotic sounds.[4]
