And Finally, Well That Would Explain The Short-Staffing is brought to us this week by Val Verde Hospital District v. Salazar, in which a young woman checked in to the ER, “because she was experiencing symptoms of shortness of breath, chest palpitations, and chest pain.” A technician then set up an EKG, which we have just learned requires attaching twelve separate electrodes to the chest. The patient subsequently sued the hospital, alleging that she had been inappropriately touched during the procedure. We love the fact that the Texas Court of Appeals felt it necessary to stipulate that the EKG and the associated electrodes themselves did nothing wrong. Noted. More importantly, the patient/plaintiff did provide us with a god-tier insult when she stated that the technician, “did not have the appropriate demeanor, personality, and/or character to perform an EKG.” Gonna have that one cue’d up on my next visit to Jiffy Lube.
