HOSPITAL ELEVATOR TESTING
How would you test a new elevator that will be placed into a hospital, but you don't have access to the hospital?
I either get someone who does have access to the hospital test it for me or test the elevator before placing it in the hospital.

Test it with a computer simulation running on a Linux box. We wouldn't want the elevator to crash after all! (Guess I don't get the job.)

Guess what, folks at MS don't give a sh*t what OS you use as long as you do your job. I'd bet there's quite a few linux boxes on the campus. You don't even have to ask for permission.

It's funny, when I was working at Disney, there were rumors that the original animation building in Burbank was built in such a way that it could be turned into a hospital if Disney ever defaulted on any loans or property tax. Apparently, this was the only way that Burbank would let Disney build there. So, what does this have to do with the riddle? Well, one of the reasons people thought the old animation building was built to be a hospital was because of all the extra wide doorways. So I'd say one requirement of a hospital elevator would be that it would have to be big enough to allow a gurney through with people stading on either side.

Everyone keeps missing the obvious here... What are you guys anyways..
The obvious solution to this one is to set up some sort of framework to structurally support your elevator, outside of the hospital of course, ensuring that the shaft is totally secured. At this point you can test the {Elevator} (as that is what is being asked to test here, not the Elevator Installation) before it is put into the hospital.
The second solution would be to install either a series of sensors or video cameras into the shaft, and/or elevator car. Monitor these to find out when it is used and if it works properly or crashes to the basement.
The third solution would be of course to hire a sub-contractor.

Define "test"? Are we testing whether the elevator is suitable for that particular hospital? Just go to another hospital that has the same elevator installed and test it. If you like the model, buy it.
Anyway, If M$ considers testing hospital equipment without having access to a hospital, it becomes scary.

Just say the elevator was tested. Who needs testing anyways? If the elevator gets installed and crashes, the people inside are already at a hospital, and your company makes more money selling "elevator v1.01"

Yes, but who in their right mind would buy anything else from a company that has a history of selling unstable products?

maybe the best way to test a hospital elevator is by trying to roll in a hospital bed.
