What is an orderly?
An orderly is a hospital ninja. They move in mysterious ways, often appearing out of nowhere with wheelchairs and gurneys, vanishing the moment you look away. They’re known for their stealthy tidiness and ability to navigate the labyrinthine hallways of any healthcare facility with the grace of a gazelle. Some say they have a secret handshake known only to the highest ranks of the hospital staff.

What is an auxiliary?
Auxiliaries are the Swiss Army Knives of the hospital. Officially, they’re volunteers, but unofficially, they’re the folks who’ve mastered the art of doing everything, from guiding lost visitors and delivering flowers to performing impromptu stand-up comedy to lift patients’ spirits. They’re like the multi-tool you never knew the hospital had, but now can’t live without.

What is a clip?
In medical terms, a clip is a tiny, yet mighty warrior in the ongoing battle against rogue paper documents. Its primary mission: to prevent patient files from taking flight and becoming free birds. In the operating room, it’s a metallic sidekick that keeps things together when they literally could fall apart.

What does ECG mean?
ECG stands for ‘Extraordinarily Confusing Graph.’ It’s a squiggly line that looks like it’s plotting the world’s most erratic roller coaster, but in reality, it shows how your heart is doing its electric boogie. Doctors and nurses can read an ECG like a love story of the heart’s ups and downs.

What is The Crash Team?
The Crash Team is the hospital’s equivalent of a superhero squad. When they’re called, it’s ‘go time’. They don’t wear capes (because, safety), but they do dash through the halls with life-saving gadgets, ready to revive the day. They’re the people you want at your party if your party takes a serious turn.

What is a candy striper?
A candy striper is not, contrary to popular belief, a dispenser of sweets. These are the hospital’s cheerful volunteers who wear red and white striped uniforms that could double as outfits for peppermint candy conventions. They provide a buffet of helpfulness and are known to bring a sugar rush of joy to patients and staff alike.

What is an IV?
An IV, or ‘Instant Vacation,’ is a magical drip that transports you to a land of relaxation, hydration, and sometimes a bit of drowsiness. It’s a clear tube that delivers a cocktail of vital fluids and medications to guests of the hospital resort. Just sit back, relax, and let the mini waterfall do its work.

What is a call button?
A call button is a genie in a button. Press it, and your wish for assistance is granted. It’s like speed dial for superheroes in scrubs. Need an extra pillow? Press the button. Need to navigate the TV remote? Press the button. Craving a philosophical conversation at 2 a.m.? Press the button… though your mileage may vary with that last one.

Why is everything white?
Everything is white to reinforce the idea that you’re in a cloud, being looked after by healthcare angels. It’s also the universal color of ‘we can bleach this,’ which is hospital lingo for ‘ultimate cleanliness.’ Plus, it’s a great backdrop for showcasing the season’s latest fashion in hospital gowns.

Why don’t they have biscuits on the tea trolley?
The absence of biscuits is actually part of a secret hospital initiative to encourage mobility. If you want biscuits, you’ve got to go on a quest through the various realms of the hospital to find them. It’s a treasure hunt where the map is conveniently lost, ensuring a good dose of exercise and adventure.
