Janna Brewer rocks! How she deals with the number of volunteers at Baylor Med Center in Plano is beyond me. She must have the patience (sorry) of Job because it seems that nothing freaks her out.
Fantastic orientation session for the incoming volunteers plus free coffee. Is this a great country or what?
We learned all about codes (you know, blue, red, green, etc.) and what to do when something weird happens. Who to call. What to touch and what to stay away from. And, of course, the obligatory rules and regs. What the color-coded uniforms designate.
Seriously, this is supposed to be dry, boring material but we were all mesmerized like a bunch of toads in a hail storm. Blink, blink, blink. Fun stuff.
Friday afternoon I go back to meet with Charlse for the tour. I think we get to roam all over both hospitals (yes, oh yes, there are two) to get an idea of where everything is. Yeah, right, like I’ll remember any of it.
I can’t wait. It’s the most positive, uplifting, encouraging thing I’ve done in months and I won’t get a penny for it! Geeze, I wish I was 18 again I know exactly what I’d do after high school.
The only disappointment was finding out that there was no Code Plaid. Still don’t know what to do if a Scotsman shows up calling everything Crrrrrrap!
