>Back home, we had electric accumulative heaters. The power was cheaper overnight, and between 12:00 and 15:00, so these would crank up the heaters and would warm up heavy bricks around the hot wires - when it was cheaper. Then when it went higher rate, these would shut off, and only a fan would blow the air through the hot bricks and thus distribute the accumulated heat.

But in the hospital a doctor may order ventilation for you. That does not mean he is a fan, Seattle Seahawk or yours.
