It is Monday again

Passing of Randy's Father
As many of you may know by now Randy Hambrick's father passed away this weekend. The funeral will be Tuesday in Des Arc. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Randy and Garri Lynn.

126
Has a license plate and should go to the Health department tomorrow. There has been no decision made as to who will get assigned the unit.

Oh by the way a pet peeve
I have worked a few complaints lately that have revolved around some, what appears to be minor things, but left a huge negative impression. Let me say, walking a patient to the unit should be a very very rare exception. Placing a patient on the cot for transport to and from the unit as well as to the hospital should be the standard. In addition walking a patient into the hospital should never be. If you find yourself at the ER with a patient on a cot that the ER wants to go to triage, simply lower your cot outside the unit and help the patient into a wheelchair.
I know this sounds simple, and for some goes without saying.
Just remember the cot is designed to provide the patient the safest ride in the ambulance.
