Geocache Description:

Have admired this particular GZ for ages. There's a signpost, just as you are leaving Hairmyres Hospital, which was the inspiration for this cache. Can you work it out? Hope it tickles your fancy, too.
The cache isn't at the signpost in question but is not far away. Ridiculous levels of stealth may be needed to grab this one unless you avoid visiting hours and the start and ends of working days.

The cache is a camoflaged magnetic micro. Please bring a pen and only sign initials and date.

Hairmyres Hospital is one of NHS Lanarkshire's three District General Hospitals.It opened in 2001 as a Private Finance Initiative. Unlike Wishaw General the hospital was built on the same site as the old hospital (part of which still remains). After the "flagship" hospital opened it had a number of teething problems which led to some hysterical media reporting. Things seem to have settled down now though. More up to date information about NHSL and Hairmyres can be found at NHS Lanarkshire or Wikipedia.

We suppose we could have asked Scotsbob to add this cache to the "The Doctor Will See You Now" series, which has a Lanarkshire medical bent. For anyone with a fetish for Lanarkshire NHS facilities then you can while away the hours visiting some of SB's caches. There isn't yet (we think) a bookmark list for these caches so hopefully this is useful:
