Inside the hospital walls is just as busy. The stories you have heard and read about constant codes etc. it?s tiring and scary.
Lebby: you guys still okay with PPE? Face shields are the scarcest item for us
We have a few, but we also have our issued goggles
We have two of those teams due to the volume now. Usually there's only one "team"QUEENS1985 said:Here at the hospital it?s constant overhead for a rapid response team that handles COVID pts.
Good to hear. We have goggles too; everyone got a pair of goggles issued last month. Usually I will only use the shield for anything that is aerosolizing and puts me close to the patient's face... swabbing patient, central line.Lebby said:We have a few, but we also have our issued goggles
Call volume slow down at all on your end. Heard the numbers were down a little from the peak but still insanely high.
