I would love to be a fly on the wall when management has one of their brainstorming meetings.
With the end result of most of their decisions being money and marketing, it was no surprise when they came up with a name change for the Fast Track area. The reason being is that they were going to take 2 beds out of commission and call it Super Track. One nurse, quick in and out in about an hour. This all came with a brand new waiting area equipped with a huge flat screen and refreshments while the customer waits to be discharged home.
Never in their wildest dreams did they realize when they changed the name from Fast Track to The Flexible Unit and named the Super Track Dept that it was akin to when all hospitals in the country went to a universal color scheme for codes. The first time I heard a code brown called it was all I could do to not run screaming from the building with every other nurse on duty that day.
Anyhoo, Mr. Mighty Charge likes the sound of his own voice and is always on the intercom paging away at random. You can imagine hearing, "Nurse Jones, please report to the STD, you have a patient waiting." Or, "Nurse Smith, please return to the FU, Dr. Hyperbitch is looking for you."
The FU?? The STD?
