Bad news for interns...

....unless you're on BLOCK TIME (more on this later) and don't have to be admitting/rounding/answering pages/discharging!

From an e-mail sent to our UCD e-mail inboxes:

NOTICE AS OF 1:46 P.M. TODAY:
The Medical Officer of the Day contacted all departments. Census in hospital is at capacity. Review all patients NOW and move those that can move from ICU to floor; floor to discharge to home.
