Thoughts

 For some reason I was thinking last night about dealing with VIPs in a hospital setting.  Despite all the HIPPA compliance, the whispers start, the higher ups appear with admonishings, more residents show up than usual and the surgeon tries to tell them they won't be doing anything on THIS CASE. The nurses and techs are trying to keep calm and just do our jobs, reassuring each other to just do what we always do, but with all the static around, it's more difficult. 

Let me analogize. 

You are a good driver, you are driving to a known place, you have the radio on, no problem.

Then your boss and his boss get in the front seat, their favorite celebrity and two screaming kids get in the back. Bosses change the station, one turning it so loud you can't hear, the other switches it to a different station so you can tell it's on but can barely hear it, and they argue about this. Celebrity and one of the kids are giving you conflicting directions from the back, and threatening to sue you if you don't get them there on time, while the other kid is throwing up.  You are still going to drive as well as you can, but suddenly it's gotten much, much more difficult to arrive alive. 

Gosh, don't know why I thought of this.
