Medical music . . .
« on: 22 March, 2017, 03:18:37 pm »
... had to laugh : phoned the doctor this morning to make an appt (just routine with the GP) and the "on hold" music was the theme from Holby!  - apparently they have a whole load of TV medical themes including Dr Finlay's Casebook, Emergency Ward 10, ER, Chicago Hope, House etc.   

If you ring the police is the hold music Z-Cars?

Many years ago when I worked in A&E we had to call the poisons unit on a regular basis.  The on hold music was the theme tune from MASH, suicide is painless

I don't have hold music[1], but Certain People get Roy from The IT Crowd asking if they've tried turning it off and on again before their call is connected.

Beat me to it!

Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' is the 'hold' music for various Helldesks. Tis a pity only the introduction is played for it is common to hold for a year...

Reminds me of one time I was in the gym on the treadmill and the song that came on my MP3 player was Chris Rhea's The Road to Hell - very inspiring  :facepalm:
It's a reverse Elvis thing.

I first encountered that song in the way it was intended:  In a traffic jam on the M25.

Whereas a long, dire, flat, wet Audax brought it to my mind...
