Elevator Music

I was almost late for radiation yesterday because I was briefly trapped in the hospital elevator! I should have known better because about two weeks ago this elevator was reluctant to let me out one afternoon, but the doors finally opened. I got in on the main floor and went down to the basement. And the door wouldn't open. Then the elevator became possessed. It went back up to the main floor, where the door again would not open. Then back down to the basement and you guessed it, wouldn't open. At this point I started banging on the elevator because it is close to the reception desk and I knew someone would hear me. But then the elevator went back up to the main floor again. Nope, wouldn't open. Down again. Up to the top floor. Finally the doors opened. I got out, but there was a group of women waiting to get in and go down. Unfortunately, they didn't speak English so I had a hard time convincing them not to get in the elevator. I finally convinced them to get in the other elevator with me. When I finally got to the basement, there were a couple of doctors and patients gathered around because they had heard my banging. I told them my story and someone was going to call security. Of course, when it was time for me to leave, the only elevator that would come down to the basement was the one that wouldn't open. I had the receptionist show me where the stairs are.
