I recall being in hospitals and them requesting no cellphone use for fear of interference with equipment, something like airplanes. This was definitely a long time ago.

A glass window with some sort of efficiency treatment that may be radio opaque perhaps?

@noodles@social.earth.li @elithebearded@fed.qaz.red Probably metal coated glass for heat retention purposes?
