Flat Bobby, Monitor Tech

Flat Bobby, Monitor Tech, originally uploaded by Foxicat.

Flat Bobby took a turn watching patient's heart rhythms (Some of the upper tracings in the individual sections look distorted because I had to hide the names). He turned the chair back over to Angela, and was relieved he wasn't on duty when one of the heart rates suddenly dropped into the 30's, then 20's; average heart rates are 60-80. As he watched over Angela's shoulder he saw the rhythm line change to a flat line. Then there were lots of people and noise as a "code blue" was called on the patient. He found out later they resuscitated the patient successfully!
