  • Missing Patient

    This doesn't really qualify as a sucky customer, and I'm not sure how it happened so I can't stick it in Cursing out Co-Workers so I'm sticking it here instead. Mods if you feel if belongs somewhere else feel free to move it.

    A couple hours ago the Operator announced a "Code Brown on 6 West". Code Brown means there's a missing adult patient, and the 6th Floor is the Psych Ward.

    So I haul ass to get up there, along with everyone else who is required to respond. They show us a picture, tell us what she's wearing and that she has a cut above an eye.

    The employees already did a bed check and called for her in every room, plus searched the rooms thoroughly and she was nowhere to be found.

    So we all split up and went looking for her, and put gloves on the doors we'd searched.

    I get to one room called the "Sensory Room", and my master key which opens practically everything wouldn't work. Then another guy comes running over somehow procured the key to get in and there she was lying down watching the fish tank.

    That was literally the last place we had left to check, and if she wasn't there we would've been combing the hospital premises and notifying the police of a missing person.

    Ahhh fish tanks...the only way Mom could keep me quiet in the doctor's office. To watch the fish and make up a story...

    So how'd she get in there?

      It turns out that the nurse who was assigned to her, noticed the "Sensory Room's" door was open earlier that evening, then when he passed by it again it was closed. He assumed that an employee shut and locked the door.

      He got one hell of a chewing out from his Supervisor, and was convinced he wouldn't have a job by morning.
