I needed to put together the Operators' binder for the Stroke Alert portion of the stroke program. The Stroke Alert is a group page that goes out to seven key individuals that are directly responsible for the quick diagnosis of patients' stroke symptoms. The ED or inpatient unit decides a patient needs the STAT diagnosis of stroke and therefore initiates the group page.The Operators need binders to keep all the stroke-related literature, worksheets, and contact information. I wanted fluorescent-colored binders to signify Stroke Alert. I told my secretary to order the most outrageous binders she could find.
I came in to my office this morning and found the new binders stacked neatly on my desk. They were pink snake skin.
I went over to my secretary with my eyebrow raised. Her response was, "It was the most outrageous color they had!"
Nothing says "Stroke Alert" like pink snakeskin!
Great, now your gonna say you need to go shopping for some pink snakeskin pumps to match the binders for the meeting when you pass them out. Some doctor is going to be angry that you killed all those North African PB Rattlers. As a rare species the binders and shoes you now own are worth millions!
