Had the same problem with a hospital where you didn't need a badge to get INTO the stairwell but did need one to get out. /just waited for someone with a badge to come by //for about 45 minutes.
Not a resident but I did have to do surgical observation to graduate in college... Once I locked myself up in a stairwell, for real.
The satellite OR desk clerk told me to go through the double doors to get back to the locker room. I went through the wrong double doors and found myself in an area with only key-access doors. Found one door that was open and it was a stairwell. The door I used to get into the stairwell was locked once I went through it, and every floor there up were locked.
Finally I found an emergency exit, braved the possibility of setting off the alarm(it wasn't armed) and escaped, only to find myself in the ambulance bay, all the way on the other side of the of the hospital, in just scrubs in cold freezing upstate NY winter.
I walked back to the OR locker room lounge, found my classmates, and related the story. The same exact one one of my other classmates told me the week before. Memory fail. If I had remembered I'd have saved myself the hassle.
This wasn't Jessica, was it? If it was, you were really in trouble then!
ReplyDeleteAsk your doctor. Maybe Aricept is right for you.
ReplyDeleteOh this has happened to me too.... >.>
ReplyDeleteOMDG: It wasn't Jessica. I never would have called if it were her. I would have just stayed trapped in the stairs all night.
ReplyDeletedid you know why 5th and 6th door was locked anyways and not the 4th?
