It's true. Some random study results showed surgeons who play video games had higher reflexes than those who didn't. Yes Mom, I should have been a Doctor. Now a quick rant. ICU nurses. It's a black/white game. Heavenly RN's who are funny, polite, and KNOW what they're doing vs the C-units that boss the damn Tech around the room. So I had the latter yesterday. A vented patient who we saved the table for, postponing an ER patient in the damn hallway so they could come down. This frothy bitch runs into the room, after many complaints that won't be mentioned to the lay people I type for, and screamed, "We need a Doctor. WE NEED A DOCTOR NOW!" So. I called a Code Blue. Within 15 seconds, 6 Doctors, 12 RNs, 3 EMTs, a handful of Techs and the rest of the CT staff who were in a meeting I blew off to help my 62 yr old preretirement coworker scan this vented ICU patient are in the room. ICU douchebaggette "This is NOT a code, I JUST need a Doctor." Well honeybags, if the patient goes into a deadly rhythm, and your stank ass is screaming for help, Ima call a code. I did not get reprimended for this escapade. She's on my shit list. I'm throughly addicted to Rockband again. Since I'm hitting 90%+ accuracy on some songs on Expert, I should play more. Besides, it's like Karayoke in my apartment! FUN TIMES! The songs are better than my karayoke machine. Yes. I own one. I love to sing. My duchee has the title of my Yamaha R1 in his hot little hands. I'm so stoked. Just need to get the anal master that I bought it from to sign the back, and if he doesn't, Detective What'shisface will issue a spanky new title in my name. All this for buying a used bike. WHEN I finally get my motorcycle back, I can FINALLY check out the local region. Most likely less gaming then. I have a gypsy spirit and have California and Mexico to seduce. Never been to either! Headed to Yuma, AZ this weekend to see the Duchee's fam. Bout it. GAME ON. GO ALL GIRLS* HALO ON FRIDAY!!!! WE ROCK!!!!! Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation Tournament! *and mulch

My mom talked in that medical-speak language when she worked at a hospital too, it was weird. Coded this and vented that, half the time i only understood half of what she said, and the other half I only understood a quarter. so that's like 5/8 comprehension.

Code Blue: Somebody's dying. Right now. Vented: Tube down the throat, Iron Lung, etc. The machine breathes for them. They are not concious....ish. Rhythm: Not your GHIII type. EKG. Sinus Rhythm is normal. Anything else causes some issue. See Flatliners. CT: Cat Scan. A modality of Radiology. My practice. My 9-5. I scan people. We call ourselves Technologists. I'm a CT Technologist. There you go. Gooooo Xray. A lot of Hospital workers play video games. The most popular amongst all the Techs right now is Call of Duty 4. Most of Radiology owns a PS3 tho. This includes Doctors and Techs. Just found out 2 of the Emergency Doctors play games too, but I don't know what their consoles are. Cool, huh.

Actually Mike (0.5*0.5) + (0.5*0.25) = 0.375 or 3/8

Code blue? We call that a "code 99". I figure if they ain't breathing, the heart ain't beating either ;) Code blue (here) are the no breathers i.e., babies. And don't ever call Coulow a TECHNICIAN or I'll beat your ASS!
