I was visiting in a hospital last week. It was built about 10 years
ago. Every outlet was prong up.


That's the way I was taught as well. The reasoning was that if a
plug was not completely inserted, any falling metal objects would
contact the grounding conductor instead of shorting the hot and grounded
conductors.

A few months ago I explained this in detail. As an expert electrician, I always put the ground thingy pointing up.


Darlene just loves thingy's that are pointing up...
LOL
