Note: If by "ED" you meant treatment teams or Executive Directors , the lifestyle applies similarly to high-stress, sleep-deprived professionals.

The Iron Horse and the Siren’s Call: Life, Laughter, and Sleep-Deprived Chaos on the ED Commuter Train By J. Vance, R.N.

This is the premier ED train game. It requires two or more exhausted clinicians. “Would you rather deal with a weekend drunk who claims he’s the King of England, or a hypochondriac who has Googled ‘exploding head syndrome’?” “The King.

The day crew has the "pre-shift anxiety tremble"—fueled by the knowledge that the night shift left them three critical patients and a missing crash cart. Vance, R
