Hooah, I once had to carry a pager for the Emergency room in Baumholder Germany. My sole purpose was to shuttle pregnant ladies to Lanstuhl regional medical center. This was 48 hours of duty. I had to stay in a tiny little room on all the way on the other side of the hospital. The pages for me always seem to come in the wee hours of the morning like 2 or 3 am.
I made the mistake of reading Stephen King's The Shining.
I know just what you mean. I was so creeped out walking through a dark deserted old hospital with only a flash light for what seemed like miles.
