Too many people died in our tiny ER this week. ICU patients admitted to med/surg because it's the best we can do. Patients we've tried to keep out of ICU for two weeks dying anyway. This is like nothing I've ever seen.
Oh no
Edit: for those of you that don’t doomscroll the nursing R*ddit “coding” is where people die/have to be resuscitated
Never occurred to me people wouldn't assume that, but I guess not everyone watched age-inappropriate medical sitcoms as children
That's not even true, medical coding is about documenting/billing/classifying/itemizing medical stuff, most of which are not people dying.
Billing/medical coding is a thing, but 9/10 if you hear of someone "coding" in a US hospital, they mean someone has gone into cardiac arrest.
