Which, is where PATIENT (VERY PRIVATE) results are kept.
HIPPA is REAL sensitive about lab results too, sooooooo
I would tell the folks to make sure they have permission, then ask the hospital IT office if:
A ) DHCP is enabled
B ) They are looking for the MAC address? If so, that can be obtained from networjk utility

I wold be very surprisd if a hos[ital was allowing a family or anyone outside the net to enter for info.
I could be wrong, but seems something is amiss here.
