This is the doorway into the other Health Information Management office. This room is also the Physical therapy room, we keep an old piece of pediatric respiratory equipment there, a large on-it's-last-legs copier, a full length mirror (for PT) a folded up physical therapy platform (weighs 80 lbs), two desks and chairs with computers, two file drawers, a couple book shelves, two smaller desks to compliment the commodious and spacious larger desks, there are extra crutches hiding behind the full length mirror, we keep the wound care nurses supplies, we have several boxes of archived records ready for storage off site, we have the TV/VCR tower on wheels, the rolling cart full of books and puzzles for swing bed patients AND we have a set of stairs used by PT to train people who have had knees and hips repaired, we keep FIVE folding tables stored behind the door AND there is our very own private bathroom.
This is where I sit most of the time.
Department managers desk.
Storage, mostly on wheels.
The Physical Therapist has to drag the stairs out in the hallway to train the patient how to go up and down stairs; "up with the good leg first..."
I forgot, the bathroom has a bathtub and it is full of things such as Resusci-Annie and other teaching devices. We keep the shower curtain closed, because Resusci-Annie stares at a person whilst one communes with nature.

Look at all the empty bookshelves behind the tv etc! Maybe those could find a new home, like at your house for your books. Do you think they would notice if the shelves just disappeared?
Just a thought.

Um those flattish looking "shelves" in back of the TV/VCR cart is the back of the wall mounted PT platform, hasn't been unhooked for at least five years that I know of. Too shallow for books, although the occasional magic marker or pencil etc finds its way there. The deeper shelves that ARE empty are just waiting for some manuals and they will be FULL. Retro
You didn't get any new digs with the remodel?
Um yeah there is plenty of room in the remodel unfortunately it is all on inferior walls, no windows. So we were thinking that we would MUCH rather have HIM stay in the old building and we would send down needed records by courier or if we are in electronic health records by then, hey practically no prancing back and forth between buildings to speak of, eh? LOVE it. Retro
Freudian slip...I mean INTERIOR walls, not INFERIOR walls. Jeez. R
I immediately thought there was something 'special' about medical records that you needed isolation from the outside, thus the inferior walls. Like the records might fade is subjected to sunlight.
Well at least you have Windows on your computer. Yuk Yuk
My desk was actually by the big picture window but it was distracting when the squirrels were outside harrassing the quail or kids were chasing dogs or on those RARE occasions about 3 pm when the blinding sunshine would blast in between the trees. Retina burn!! Retro
rescusi-annie.....BRRRRRRRRR.
my husband had to take cpr classes a few years back and he had horror stories about her breath. apparently rescusi-baby could also use a bath.
btw, a suitable nom de plume has been given to me via a kindly departed relative: Ruby Rivard.
sounds dirty to me!
