Smoke Gets the Ayes!....8/25

In roughly two months the entire campus will be smoke-free. Finally, something I agree with! I never could understand why a patient that was sooo sick that they had to use a bedside commode--that was unable to bear the pain of sitting up on their own--could beat a street racer to the door to go out and puff. Besides, it takes a surgical patient about 20% longer to recover if they smoke after surgery. Oxygenation of tissue....



The excuse that was used: It's the norm for Dallas hospitals. Yeah, right. Since when has Duc-boy been concerned with what was done in Dallas--unless the advent was in his favor. One thing it will get rid of--smokers.



If you have to go off campus to smoke, then you have to punch out to smoke. Anyone who doesn't---off with their head! And, last I heard, only two breaks were allowed plus lunch, per shift. So when they're Jonesing over that smoke, and they either find a place to blow it out the window, or punch out so many times they have to pay the hospital to work here....gotcha!



And you wondered how they were going to thin out ranks before transitioning to the North? Meet the new boss...same as the old boss....
