Years ago I worked at a hospital as a
patient escort. When people would ask me what the job was I would
just say “I move people.” I also say that the job does not exist
on television. When someone is brought to a hospital on TV and movies
you see every doctor that will be doing the operation or whatnot grab
a side of the gurney, shout things, rush into a room, and get to
work. That is not what happens. The job was way more than that
though. I would get a call when someone arrived, told where to take
them, do that, and then the slow process of getting someone into a
room or whatever would begin.
Besides moving people around I would
pick up equipment and take people to places using a wheelchair, their
bed, or gurneys. And sometimes I'd have to take dead people to the
morgue. There were rarely good days at the hospital but good days
included not having to move a dead body. Those days sucked. In this
post I am gonna talk about the Five Things I Learned Moving Dead
Bodies. If you are a sensitive mortal you probably should not read
this because I'll be talking about moving dead folks. Everyone else
continue reading this and never ask me why I won't work at a hospital
again.
