You know you’re in healthcare when…
·
There is a cup of tongue depressors next to the
coffee pot to use instead of coffee stirrers.
·
You wash your hands before AND after you use the
restroom.
·
The letters PCI on construction equipment you
view while driving down the interstate are immediately interpreted in your mind
as percutaneous coronary intervention.
·
Your friends rank the “medicine” or “anatomy” question
at trivia night as the highest-scoring question of the round because you and
several other medical buddies are on the team.
·
You get excited explaining the Eustachian tube
to patients several times a day.
·
You’d like to take vacation but you have to know
3-4 months in advance to get a day off of work.
·
You know certain other people’s date of birth
(DOB) better than you do your own family members’ DOBs.
·
You have to leave a patient’s room because you “forgot
your ears” and need to grab your stethoscope.
·
You can eat and talk “gross things” at the same
time. Or you can eat and WATCH “gross things” at the same time. Or both.
·
You can outlast most of your friends when it
comes to games that involve supplying multiple-syllable words.
