A patient’s relative approached me today asking for some help with an issue they encountered in another department. While I was getting her the right contact information, her eyes kept cutting to the patient call terminal, telemetry monitors, and pneumatic tube station which all alarm in a maddening syncopation nonstop all day. Indeed it’s also joined by bed alarms, chair alarms, the dying strains of a rolling workstation, pagers, phones, voceras, overhead 🔊 codes, yelling patients, etc.
