As someone else mentioned, it really helped my stress level having some idea of who was taking care of me without searching for name tags or trying to figure out who's who.

Four to eight of these people running me ragged for thirteen hours. No, I don't want them getting chummy with my name, I'm just trying to survive the shift and fetch their fucking ice cream at 3am while trying to keep Mrs Jones breathing.<br /><br />And, Moose, the 'emergency contact' is just a relative's contact information so that the people who come in the night to break your kneecaps have an easier time tracking you down.

HOWEVER, the last time I was in the ED, knowing who was taking care of me (or as much as I could comprehend) helped reduce stress.<br /><br />I know that the board was (I hope) meant to be funny, but I hope a real pt (or their family)didn't see that. <br /><br />They'd get the impression no one cared.Ms. Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945753071493117365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-35437426275677921622016-01-19T12:53:01.160-05:002016-01-19T12:53:01.160-05:00It's not that funky if you studied Latin or Ru...It's not that funky if you studied Latin or Russian, then you realize that what we are dealing with here are the vestigial remains of declension in English. <br /> dative case, "give to" whom...
