Disruptive Behavior
The other day, I was sitting in a work meeting when my vent decided to begin alarming. I usually have my nurses wait in my office when I'm in meetings, so I explained to a manager how to silence the alarm. I apologized for interrupting things, but the manager shrugged it off. She told me that she was once in a meeting with another person on a ventilator and she had to quickly plug in the vent when the battery died. I'm not sure I would get such a blasé response in most other workplaces. I was actually a little disappointed that nobody freaked.
