Even wonder why hospital TV remote controls force you to cycle through channels?

A hospital CEO explains why:

We researched it and found that the remote is the one that is connected into our nurse call system, and the company did not have alternatives that would be more convenient. We checked with other hospitals in town and they all had the same limitations. Having these systems integrated reduces the number of separate handheld items hooked to the bed and allows the speaker to be at the bed, particularly important in a double room.
