They were probably just giving you a bullshit line because they have no idea why the policy exists.
Maybe someone choked on a popped balloon.
Or maybe someone went into cardiac arrest and blamed it on being scared of a balloon pop and sued the hospital.
Probably just some lawyer making up senseless rules based on a failure to understand cause and effect and a bludgeoning insistence on writing detailed, prescriptive rules that fix yesterday’s problems rather than tomorrow’s. He probably works for the SEC now.
Nah, Arkady’s got a team of proactive, great nurses. These folks don’t seem like the type to b&m over lifting a finger. When I go back, I’m going to ask for details on what happened. The front desk person told me the policy was new as the ‘incident’ occurred just a few weeks ago.
Snappy, the reason they don’t allow the balloons is because it’s another thing that the nurses will have to deal with and for them to lift another finger doing something would be against the union rules.
Lech…true! I’ve been given HeliOx for a severe asthma attack. The helium was necessary to re-inflate my lungs so the oxygen could get in there. Makes me wonder now about what they said to me about the balloons.

HAHAHA bravo!!
Know what’s really cool? Opera on bluray.
Gorgeous cinematography, usually.
You don’t have to sit thru the whole thing, often we watch an act or two a night.
And, since you’re in the privacy of your own home, you can turn on English sub-titles without feeling like an ignorant American.
ROFL
Heliox! Yes, that’s it, Snappy.

Helium is a so-called “inert” gas. It does not interact with other elements.
