if you think your job sucks, imagine the one of the guy who has to get up there every day to change the date

@kitten I do appreciate that this is a joke, but I wanted to know why the hospital was named this way, and did.
Years after the death of the dictator, on 12 October 1988, the name was changed to "12 de Octubre".

@pht oh but like, name changes aside, it's clearly a reference to Spain's national day

@kitten Ah, I didn't know that was Spain's national day.
National Day of Spain commemorates the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus for Spain on 12 October 1492.

By chance or destiny I just saw this in my fedifeed:

Maybe it's time to change that date ...

... but keep the name of the hospital.

@kitten ... or keep the date, but explicitly change what it commemorates. (Might be tricky.)
