23

not to mention the Ball, Breitling, Cartier, IWC, and Panerai. One MD has a folex (fake Rolex). He has had for 9 yrs. It still keep great time.

The most popular brand at work Seiko!


I started this thread becuse of the MD stealing the watch from a patient. In a code situation, it is pure adreneline. You respond first and remember later, you try to stay as calm as you can. You do what you have to with what you have to save a life. It's called the heat of the battle. I know, I've been there many times! It's what I do for a living. I do it cause I'm a adreneline junkie!
Say this doc (stated by another member) went start an Arterial line in his radial to draw a blood gas, or an ordinary IV in his wrist, took the watch off and stuck it in his pocket in stead of dropping it on the floor(like everything else on a code). Let's say after you did all that you know to do and the patient still passes on. You lost the battle. You chart, dictate your report, drink some water, prepair yourself to speak to the family, get up out of your chair, put your hand in your pocket, you feel a watch, the officer on duty, comes to you and asks to search you. Remember these guy's and gals don't work a nice little 8 hr day like most! The go from the time they get there till the time they leave! 12 hrs at a time, sometimes more. You refuse to be searched cause you know you have a nice watch in your pocket, you don't want your reputation spotted, so you walk out and throw the watch out cause you know it's nice looking. In a code you don't have time to look at a watch and say, oh what a nice yellow gold Rolex day/date with diamonds you have there! We should give this MD the benefit of wrongful reacting to search, killing a patient to steal his watch? This is a hard pill for me to swallow.

I guess in the medical world, Rolex is common.
