I agree it might be a fax...why...because i've said hello two days in a row and...there was no one there. Then today I let it go to machine...no message...but the weird thing is...no fax machine sounds...just dead air.

Could you have had an MRI appt scheduled for you from your doctors office? This is usually te radiation dept day the Civic

This phone number is for client use at the Ottawa General Hospital.    It is like a payphone, in that it is not equipped to receive incoming calls, but patients are allowed to make calls from the hospital with it.

(613) 737-8898  < IS < the Ottawa Civic Hospital, Ottawa, Ontario -  for appoitments and reminders

Just got the call in Ottawa. No message. Called back, and got an automated voice saying "The number 737-8898 is equipped for outgoing calls only".

Same Thing

its a FAX machine that phones my place atleast 4 times per day.

It's The Ottawa Hospital outgoing telephone line (it can be from any campus: General, Riverside, or Civic). It is not specific to MRI's - it can also be for an Ultrasound, or some other kind of general appointment at The Ottawa Hospital.They will usually leave you a message. For me, it was simply a reminder of an upcoming appointment.
