A few days ago, as I entered the Emergency Room and expected to do the routine look around and possibly shadow someone, but this day was different. The main technician who restocks everything in the emergency room lost her other techs, which meant that she had to do their jobs too. She saw me and dragged me into service, my mission: restock the supply trays. The supply trays were these trays that doctors and nurses use for patient care. The trays carry standard equipment when dealing with patients. Some items observed were vials with colors such as red, green, blue and yellow, tourniquets, band aids, multiple syringes and band-aids. This task may seem daunting at first, but after a brief introduction of the items that needed to be resupplied and their locations, it was like a sorting game that can be played on the Internet. After that task was complete I was asked to make roughly 250 copies of those discharge folders. That took a majority of my day. When I went to make copies, I noticed that I knew a lot of codes for rooms that needed them. I had almost as much access as most of the people who worked at the emergency room.
