Code Running
I was sitting at the nurse's station eating Fig Newtons when a code blue was called in ICU. Because it wasn't my unit, I kept eating the cookies. (That is the correct protocol, not the eating cookies part, but the staying put part.) The house supervisor ran past me on the way to the code, which amused me because of a conversation that I had earlier that night. A coworker told me a story of another house supervisor who was present when a code was called on the floor. She took off running for the bathroom and locked the door. Not until the code was over did she emerge from the bathroom. Now, it's possible that she suddenly, really had to go to the bathroom and need to stay there for 45 minutes, but what are the odds? At least the current supervisor ran in the correct direction.

She was in there having a panic attack! I guess she forgot her meds that night! I think they will make anyone house supervisor who is willing to work long hours and get yelled at constantly. What a crappy job, kind of like a meter maid only with better pay!
This particular supervisor we dislike so much, it's hard not to take pleasure in her crisis. We love to hate her.
