Several times they asked if the Hospital really opened in 2004 because they could't imagine that it still looks so proper. One of the two agents even said that you don't need any medications here, you get better from the pure vibration! Still they checked our medications but everything was in order. After 2 1/2 hours they left and were happy with what they saw and we were proud about the condition of our place!
