That's awesome.

At the hospital we had our kids. They play a short lullaby over the speakers every time a baby is born.

What's crazier is, when we had our daughter, there was a "baby wave" (the nurses words) and we basically heard it non-stop for the two nights we were there.

It's was really fun actually.

I worked at a hospital that did that. I thought there needed to be symmetry- Brahms' Lullaby for a birth, Chopin's Funeral March for a death. You could tell how the night was going that way.

I had surgery at a hospital that did that. It was a fucking nightmare, I kept getting woken up all night. I was about ready to snap by the time I was allowed to leave.

Oh, thats insane. They only played the chime very quietly and only in the Maternity Ward hallways, not the rooms.
Ya, hearing that over the entire fucking hospital!? That's awful.
