Docs still use beepers
Kind of archaic I think
New technology?
I'm sure there's some reason why but for the life of me I can't put my finger on it.
The trials, tribulations, ramblings, and adventures of a renaissance techno-warrior. Life, pop culture, lunacy, CSFYB probably has something for you somewhere within.
Nicole and her infinite wisdom could probably fill us in.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the same thing as Mega did, but after being around her a decent amount, I will offer my best guess:
ReplyDeleteNichole uses her cell phone for things she enjoys, like talking to her mom or texting with her friends. She despises the beeper, especially when she is on call, so I am thinking that when her cell phone goes off, she doesn't want to dread it every single time. When her beeper goes off, it's clear that it's a work thing. Isolate the dread-causing technology.
Ding ding ding! Dawn's got it! There are plenty of docs who use their cell phones for everything and it doesn't bother them. But almost every time my pager goes off, my heart rate and/or blood pressure momentarily skyrockets at potential disaster brewing.
