Grady has the best burn center in the state, one of the best in the country.

Didnt they drop their burn center status last year?

I will, if I'm correct its not a direct admit to the burn center. They go through the trauma center for stabilization first

Negative ghostrider. A good burn will get you the Marcus Trauma Center and then a stay on the third floor.

Being in the electrical industry, I can tell you another reason. I had a service call at a relatives house that I didn't charge for, but the problem was that the entire house for several months had constant power flickering. With some service calls you can't predict how long trouble shooting will take considering I have to plan my day accordingly. If I have you booked at 7, and willing to spend, say 3 hours there to find the problem, I can't schedule my next client until atleast 11. Long story short I went to the house, problem wad not happening. Said it happens for 10-15 minutes, then normal for a few hours. I check voltage at both phases to both neutral and ground. Sit there with 2 meters constantly reading voltage incoming thinking its an issue with power company's side when I hear the panel arcing behind my meter. Sure enough, both lugs were loose on the bus. Kill the panel, torque everything down, button it up, problem solved. Max. time of 1 hour there. Unfortunately my next client isn't available until 10:30. Hence minimum charges.
