Wwyd if you worked in healthcare, going no. 2 mid-log, and they called cardiac arrest overhead

I have nobody else with me at night to cover potty-breaks

I think I am going to bill my employer for new boxer briefs

First... eat more fiber, jeeze.

Second- you don't want to be making poor decisions in a life-and-death situation because you're prairie dogging it.

Sounds like a management issue. If anything needs redundancy, it's health care. They should have a backup for every person on the shift. What would I do? I dunno, but someone there needs to be talked to.

edit:
Thinking about it a bit, and without knowing exactly how a hospital is setup, I think grabbing a diaper from the supply cabinet, and getting to work would be a reasonable course of action. Afterward, you can chew the supervisor a new asshole for leaving you understaffed.

I had not previously been familiar with the nomenclature, re: mid-log.

Interesting choice of words...

Depends on the environment. When I was at the main hospital as an intern on medicine rotation as the designated hospital team to respond to all codes, never once was I able to get to the room fast enough to even be involved. In that scenario, I'd just ignore it and finish the pooping. However, at the freestanding psych hospital I might be the only MD there, so I'd do whatever it takes to get there ASAP. Although, we've never had a code blue in the ~3 years I've been at my current spot. As an intern, I did have to initiate a code on the psych floor, but I got the hell out of the way when the code team showed up (very promptly).

Stay and finish. If you interrupt the process your mind can't focus on anything else and you'd be a detriment if involved in a medical emergency.

Pinch it off

 

[WelshBloke]

You're probably going to want to finish first. Theres no toilet breaks once you start CPR. Then again you should be able to poop wipe and go in a minute or so anyway.

Hmm, no mention of hand-washing.

Hospitals - petri dishes.

It would be really hard to run with my pants still around my ankles in any one of those three scenarios.
