And so there I was, in the middle of a chaotic shift, and I accidentally paged Dr… Smith — who I thought was covering. Turns out, he was enjoying a spa day! Instead of getting annoyed, he sent back a photo of him in a robe with ‘Don’t forget to breathe!’ written on it. Just goes to show, you have to find humor in the chaos of our work. Anyone else have a good mix-up story?
Haha, love that! I’ve accidentally paged my cat’s vet before — slightly different vibe. Ever had a mix-up that made your shift way more fun?

But that’s priceless! I once paged an old colleague on vacation who sent me a beach pic. Ever thought about doing a funny out-of-office response, like Dr.
That’s a great story! I once accidentally paged a surgeon who was at a football game. He sent me a video of the game with ‘Hope your day’s going better than mine!’ I think we could all use a reminder to find the fun in the chaos.
That’s hilarious! I once thought my covering doc was at the beach but he was in the OR. Ever had a mix-up during a really busy moment like that?
