The PA system in my company served a lot of purposes and it is kinda important to us like informing us that there is an emergency going on at some place so that we could send staff to give assistance, it also will make daily announcement reminding the visitors the visiting hours.
Sometimes on a bad day, we will get a few more emergency codes, otherwise everyday it will only make the usual 2pm and 8pm announcement. So can you imagine how tense up we get when we hear the tone ring up before the annoucement was made because depending on what the announcement is we have to act accordingly.
On Friday the annoucement is overwhelming, imagine early morning at 11am we have one code for us to run, followed by another code from the OT, then the visitor announcement, then another code from children's emergency, then the fire alarm that has mysteriously went off and they are making the announcement to ask people to stay calm and they are investigating, then another one to inform people that it was a false alarm...
6 alarms on one day?
That is not the worst.
I don't understand why must they made an anouncement about having a talk in the auditorium, I mean, that is not the norm and we are like...
Com'on, QUIT SCARING US FOR NOTHING!
Dr Flora was like duh... What is this nonsense man?!
Which I agree, they have to think the tension we have in the ICU when they decide to use the announcement to inform us that there is a talk going on now, wonder if they have any idea how many cells they have killed by using the system so loosely just like that, I just feel that the system is being "abused"? Is this too strong a word to use? I don't believe that the talk is being slot in the very last minute as the person who is giving a talk have to prepare materials and location, book the hall and there should be ample time for them to send out circular to inform everyone.
Haiz.
I have got 2 codes in 2 consective days that I worked, both occured during my shift. Ain't I just tough on luck?
Somebody save me from these craziness can?
Lol.
