Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Martin.
How are you today?
Good.
Very good. Our grandson Max turned five today. So after
treatment, we're headed to his birthday party.
Sounds like a lot of fun.
Oh, it will be. So it's very important that Jack's
treatment be finished on time. We don't want to be
a minute late.
Well, Mr. Martin, I have your supplies right here.
We can get started now. You got a busy day ahead of you.
We do. Max is a special boy.
He's a big baseball fan like me.
Really? Did you see the game last night? I was watching.....
Sean, I need to talk to you about something I
noticed in a chart from yesterday.
I just need a second of your time.
Sure. Excuse me for a moment, Mr. Martin.
Allison, what's up?
I noticed that you didn't include a note to describe what
you did when the blood pressure machine
indicated that Ms. Alvarez's blood pressure
was low. You know that it's really important
to document these things.
I'm sorry I missed that. Glad you caught it.
Yeah, me, too.
When you're finished with Mr. Martin, I need you to
add an addendum to Ms. Alvarez's chart to
describe what you did. Also, we're short staffed
tonight so we don't want to be running behind.
Gotcha.
Sorry for the interruption, Mr. Martin.
We've gotta get you on. You've got plans for tonight!
Let's get going!
(Alarm Sounds)
Excuse me, Mr. Martin. Can you hold this for me?
Ms. Alfretta, your catheter isn't running well today.
This thing has been acting up a lot lately.
It's really important for us to get the good blood
flow that your doctor ordered.
I'm gonna try switching the lines to see if we can get your
blood flowing so you're well dialyzed.
I'm back, Mr. Martin. Let's get you finished up.
Hey, Sean. How's it going?
Not great. The next patient should already be on
but I've gotta clean up this blood spill.
Where's your next patient?
He was supposed to have been on five minutes ago.
Mr. Martin took some additional time to get out
here and now I've got a blood spill that I need to clean up.
Sean, we pay people to be on time.
We don't hire staff who create their own overtime.
But it's unsafe to bring another patient in here.
It's going to take me 10 minutes to clean this
cubicle properly.
Look, just clean up the big stuff.
It doesn't have to be perfect.
And get the next patient on the machine now!
Wow! I couldn't help but overhear.
What are you going to do?
What can I do? You heard what he said.
I'm gonna knock this out quick and get my next
patient in the chair.
