WTG21 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Are hospital call rooms generally shared between many people? I'm a really noisy sleeper, so I'm worried if I'm sleeping next to a bunch of other people that I'll keep them up all night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And I've seen a lot because they always show the call rooms on CaRMS hospital tours). They sometimes share bathrooms but the bed is in a separate, private room.

amichel Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Also rarely will you be in a call room all night. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 No, I've never seen it - also because you will expect to be paged during the night, which would disturb others around you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkmedic Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 No rooms are not shared. However, the walls are usually paper thin between call rooms. So if your neighbor is up and talking on the phone, taking a shower or slamming the door in and out, you can hear them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 they are not usually shared - that would be odd. The quality of the rooms varies - the ones at Ottawa were pretty good in the normal pool. As rads we have our own call room away from the others that is close to the reading rooms. Those are pretty good. Not that I get to see them much ha....or at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Stark Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Some call rooms (particularly the clerk ones at Dal) mostly resemble the cells of monks (dark, windowless, down the hall from the morgue...). Others like at MUN are in a wing of the hostel where out-of-town patients and families stay. You definitely hear pagers going off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place I did residency had much worse call rooms. By the end, I gave up on them and just slept on the OR lounge couch or in one of my staff's office (he had a futon which he let his residents use).

rmorelan Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 just to reinforce variability I was just at our children's hospital and their call rooms are basically mini hotel rooms. EACH has their own shower/private bathroom. It was a bit amazing compared to most ones I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainAmoeba Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 drama. (same with all the convenient supply rooms that surprising contain supplies that no one ever seems to actually need ) HAHA this! I think the longest a supply room goes unoccupied is like 1/10th a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edict Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Anyone know why the call rooms in grey's anatomy have bunk beds? When I was on exchange actually the place I was at had call rooms with bunk beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughboy Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 When I was on exchange actually the place I was at had call rooms with bunk beds. Friend of mine spent a year at Cook County as a trauma fellow. Even she had a shared call room. It sounded weird and awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingTheBern Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hospitals in the states have bunk beds in the call rooms.I don't know how common it is now a days, but they do exist, especially in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
