["Code Triage, Emergency Department now." over Public Address system]
We're locking down the hospital and setting up a command center in Administration. We'll coordinate logistics, supplies, communication.
How many casualties?
Unclear, but initial reports are not good.
OK.
The night shift is gonna be here soon, but we are gonna need more help, especially from Surgery and Anesthesiology.
MCI group text and email went out to everyone, including Transport and Environmental Services.
OK, good. [to Dana] Hey, everyone's gonna want to come in to help. Keep enough in reserve. Tell them to come in eight hours later to give us a break. And can you try and reach Jake?
Of course.
Surgery's got to call in the cavalry. We're gonna need all 25 ORs.
Ahead of you. Four ORs are prepped and staffed, and we're working on getting the rest up and running.
What about disaster supplies?
On their way.
Every patient in the ER needs to go up. Beds or no beds, they'll get better care in an upstairs hallway than ignored down here.
Agreed.
There's a whole wing that's empty on the eighth floor. I don't know if that's...
But no nurses to staff it.
No comment on that one. Waiting room and Triage can go to Family Medicine Urgent Care. And we should turn off the TVs. We don't need to cause any extra panic.
Will do.
The cafeteria will handle the family members and survivors.
What else do you need?
Prayers wouldn't hurt.
Amen to that.
Keep the press out of here.
Gladly. Call me directly if you need anything else.
OK, will do. Thank you.
