Electrical outlets upside down at doctors' offices?

Hello!

It seems like every doctor's office I go to has their 3 pronged electrical outlets upside down on the wall. Does anyone what the purpose of this may be?

Thanks! :)

Answer:
Most state electrical codes now require that for safety reasons the ground lug must be placed at the top, making them appear upside down.
