Handover Hum
The non-committal noise you emit while receiving a handover you do not remotely understand - before jogging briskly to the nearest computer to google every single word. Submitted by Sebastian Knudsen.
Chairtether
That brief sit-down you refuse to abandon even as alarms sound in the distance.
Handover Bluff
Also known as Ctrl-V Handover or The Emperor’s New Handover. When your entire handover consists of words copy-pasted from a screen, devoid of personal understanding, while you silently pray the recipient doesn’t tug too hard at the thin fabric of your borrowed knowledge. Submitted by Sebastian Knudsen.
Consultapalooza
When you open a chart to see every service in hospital has been called but none have properly engaged. Submitted by Peter Brindley.
Handover Handwash
The ritualistic cleansing of responsibility at the start of a handover, heralded by the phrase: “I’ve only just met this patient so I know nothing about them, but . . ." Submitted by Sebastian Knudsen.
Wardfloat
That dissociated drift through a shift when you're running on fumes.
Poonami
That enormous bowel movement after days of opiate induced constipation. Submitted by Peter Brindley.
