But, isn't it a bit strange that the drive-through ATM at my local bank has braille and voice prompts to assist people with blindness who drive up?
Why is there braille on the drive-through ATM?

Yep. They're instituting something like that for the nurses at the hospital where my parents work. It's acronym is SOAM- and I forget what it stands for (it'll come at a weird moment. I know it, lol). It's basically submit a paper for all materials. Anyways, these papers where all over the place "Coming soon! SOAM! Ask what it means!" One doctor said it stood for Same Old Allen Memorial (Allen Memorial Hospital) and my dad said if he could come with something tricky, he'd go around and write it on all the papers. I spat out Sadists Often Abuse Masochists (first horrid little thing that came to my mind, sorry
) and my parents loved it
My dad never wrote it though because the lady that was doing it likes him and she doesn't like a lot of people. I think that's a good enough reason

Counting fun with Dr. Coolidge!
At the end of any OR (operating room) procedure, the scrub techs count all instruments, needles, gauze, and sponges twice. I've more than once helped to look for the missing gauze. Thankfully, it's usually on the floor or tucked into a fold of drapes.
Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...
