Oh and the dumbest thing happened last night.
Special K (nickname for one of the docs here) had a patient on another floor code. They transferred the patient to us last night. According to the nurses the patient had no carotid or femoral pulse. Patient's on a vent so he's not breathing for himself. No blood pressure. His rhythm was negligable, showing only spikes where his pacemaker went off. And apparently Special K was the only one who could feel a pulse.
What really happened is they transferred us a dead man.
Anyway... I'm gonna read a bit tonight.
