I have a whole new life - new student ID, new swipey RF "ass-badge" to open doors, new bank card, new keys, now - first hostpital ID. Exciting. I am a "student intern." Ooh. Means I can go get scrubs when my laundry is running low. Also means I got a nifty little card that explains what all the hospital codes mean. For instance, at my hospital:
When they say: Dr. Cart
They mean: Cardiac arrest
When they say: Dr. Suess
They mean: Infant / Baby security alarm
When they say: Dr. Strong
They mean: Patient disturbance
They also gave me a handy mnemonic to use whenever Dr. Red (a fire) comes calling... R.A.C.E.R. As if I don't have enough acronyms to memorize.
Don't ask me what any of this means. As I have previously indicated, I am not a doctor (and it would be illegal for me to claim otherwise!)

Hey Zeta,
Do they have a hospital code for "fainting med student?"
