#81 Disaster, Come on Down!
This is actually pretty funny. I was doing nursing clinicals at a small hospital that used the same type of telemetry throughout the entire building. Occasionally patients would be put on some other equipment if they had specific needs. The standard telemetry would not make any sounds in a patient’s room, but some of the other options that were used did.
So this one morning I am walking down the hall and I hear “Beep, beep, beep, beep” going super fast (like 160 BPM) coming from a patient’s room. A moment later I heard it start to slow down “beep… beep… beep… … …beep,” and then it just stopped. I ran into the room expecting to call a code when I saw the patient watching The Price is Right with the volume cranked up. Turns out someone had just spun that freaking wheel.
