SPEAKER_02: Whatever.
2:56
SPEAKER_02: Amanda, Kaylee, and I just did a fun episode a couple weeks ago, and we taste tested caffeine.
3:04
SPEAKER_02: And so I figured we would bring all of you guys together and we would react to some caffeine and healthcare related TikToks because apparently it is a big problem for us in healthcare.
3:22
SPEAKER_05: Apparently, we might suffer from caffeine use disorder.
3:25
SPEAKER_05: Yes, we all hear all of Abby's research because you know she brought the research to the podcast, obviously, as she should, and as we expect nothing less.
3:35
SPEAKER_02: But you should hear some of this stuff.
3:36
SPEAKER_02: But the caffeine use disorder um was interesting.
3:41
SPEAKER_02: They're submitting for that to become a DSM diagnosable problem.
3:49
SPEAKER_05: It's gotten that bad as I sit here and drink my coffee.
3:53
SPEAKER_05: I mean, I think it's the same problem.
3:55
SPEAKER_05: They're just putting a name to it.
3:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's been there.
4:00
SPEAKER_02: It's just now they're saying that this might be a problem.
4:04
SPEAKER_06: The new thing is really the Adderall use disorders, I think.
4:09
SPEAKER_05: Is that a new thing?
4:10
SPEAKER_06: There's a lot of nurses on Adderall.
4:12
SPEAKER_05: I think more people might just be talking about it.

6:50
SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
6:51
SPEAKER_04: Well, I get a new one every couple of weeks.
6:55
SPEAKER_04: Because I always use it because I don't prioritize it.
6:57
SPEAKER_04: So I've got like four water bottles at the hospital, probably.
7:00
SPEAKER_04: Oh my god.
7:01
SPEAKER_05: It also has to be noted that Ashley doesn't spend a lot of time at the nurses station.

SPEAKER_05: I haven't even finished it.
7:41
SPEAKER_05: I've been doing better actually since we since we really brought to light how much caffeine.
7:48
SPEAKER_05: I was already on the downswing and I was like, I'm just gonna keep on gradually stepping this down.
7:54
SPEAKER_05: Um, you know, self-awareness.
7:57
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
7:58
SPEAKER_02: I am on my second because the coffee shop messed up my coffee orders, so I got a free one today.

8:08
SPEAKER_02: Do you want it?
8:09
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, well, I don't waste things.
8:11
SPEAKER_02: So I mean, let's go and walk.
8:13
SPEAKER_02: Don't get down sane.
8:15
SPEAKER_02: Amanda waterboarded me the other day at work.
8:20
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to hear it.
8:24
SPEAKER_02: She was like, I was like, I have water in the office, and she was like, go get it.
8:28
SPEAKER_02: And I was like, nah, it's too far away.
8:30
SPEAKER_02: And she's like, okay, well, I wasn't.

SPEAKER_05: I was in the snack pod, and she said it was too far away.
8:37
SPEAKER_02: And she's like, All right, well, we're going to just go and get another water right here.
8:40
SPEAKER_02: And she like drugged me by my ear to get another water.
8:44
SPEAKER_05: I literally physically put my hands on her and pulled her into the Pixis room, is exactly what I did.
8:48
SPEAKER_05: We are not dramatic whatsoever.
8:51
SPEAKER_04: It's nauseating to drink that much water.
8:54
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I'm the least dramatic.
8:56
SPEAKER_04: A cup of water?
8:57
SPEAKER_04: Yes, I feel nauseous after I drink a cup of water.
9:00
SPEAKER_04: It's too much just fluid in my stomach.
9:03
SPEAKER_06: This is why her body's sound.
9:05
SPEAKER_06: This is why she's so thin.
9:06
SPEAKER_06: She gets pulled a thimble.
9:10
SPEAKER_01: A thimble.
9:11
SPEAKER_01: Her stomach is the size of a 56 little just with water.
9:17
SPEAKER_02: But even her scrubs are feeling tight.
9:20
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
9:21
SPEAKER_05: Y'all.
9:23
SPEAKER_05: Oh.
9:24
SPEAKER_05: Poor Ashley.
9:26
SPEAKER_05: No, I didn't waterboard Abby.
9:28
SPEAKER_05: I just said, let's go get a cup of water.
9:30
SPEAKER_05: So we went into the Pixis room and I was grabbing meds out and I said, okay, here's your water.
9:34
SPEAKER_05: And I made her a cup of water.
9:36
SPEAKER_05: And I said, Do you want a lot of ice?
9:38
SPEAKER_05: And she wasn't paying attention to me.
9:39
SPEAKER_05: She was looking at her phone and I said, Well, you're not getting a lot of bites because then that decreases the water that you can have.
9:44
SPEAKER_02: So I gave it a little bit of ice and a whole lot of water.
9:47
SPEAKER_01: Drink it.
9:48
SPEAKER_02: And then I peed like three times in an hour.
9:50
SPEAKER_02: Heaven forbid.
9:52
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
9:52
SPEAKER_02: Your kidneys were probably like, Wow, thank you.
9:56
SPEAKER_06: Thank you, mama.
9:56
SPEAKER_05: That's right.
9:57
SPEAKER_06: But we don't have time to pee.
10:01
SPEAKER_06: What is this?
10:01
SPEAKER_04: I don't have time to pee.
10:03
SPEAKER_04: Abby, do you have time to pee?
10:05
SPEAKER_04: I don't have time to pee.
10:06
SPEAKER_04: That's the difference.
10:08
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
10:08
SPEAKER_04: We're just gonna start wearing the pins and drinking some water so y'all can be happy.
10:13
SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
10:14
SPEAKER_02: It says so much.
10:16
SPEAKER_02: No one's feeling bad for you, Abigail.
10:18
SPEAKER_02: All right.
10:19
SPEAKER_02: Well, let's get started with some of these.
10:21
SPEAKER_02: I got the perfect one to start us with.
10:25
SPEAKER_02: Alright.
10:26
SPEAKER_02: So for the for those listening, it says trying to get your caffeinated coworker to drink water.
10:34
SPEAKER_00: And for the lady.
10:37
SPEAKER_00: Perhaps so.
10:39
SPEAKER_07: Perhaps not.
10:46
SPEAKER_01: Absolutely not.
10:47
SPEAKER_01: Abby, if you had done that to the water that I gave you the other day, I'd have made you mop that mess up.
10:53
SPEAKER_03: You would have never done that.
10:54
SPEAKER_01: You would have done that one time.
10:59
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
11:00
SPEAKER_02: For those listening, the sound is for the lady and their handing a water, and then the person says, I perhaps not.
11:08
SPEAKER_02: And she hits the water out of the hand.
11:11
SPEAKER_02: But it's a bottle of water.
11:13
SPEAKER_02: So we don't have bottles, unfortunately.
11:16
SPEAKER_02: So I could not knock the water Amanda waterboarded me with out of her hand.
11:21
SPEAKER_05: You know, I think we do a really good job at taking care of other people.
11:25
SPEAKER_05: Like I know that, you know, we're all very good nurses and obviously nurse practitioner when it comes to Abby, but sometimes we're not the best self-advocate.
11:34
SPEAKER_05: And I think it's good to have other people in your world that care about you to advocate for you and to remind you of things.
11:41
SPEAKER_05: And I like that that coworker was reminding her co-worker to drink water because same.
11:47
SPEAKER_06: And even though that's that's a delight.
11:51
SPEAKER_06: If somebody brought me water, I drink it immediately.
11:54
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I am more privy to doing things if it may if somebody does it for me.
11:59
unknown: Yeah.
12:00
SPEAKER_05: Thank you.
12:01
SPEAKER_05: That's the sixth love language.
12:03
SPEAKER_05: Filling up my water bottle.
12:04
SPEAKER_02: Filling up.
12:05
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
12:05
SPEAKER_02: Just fill it up and bring it to me.
12:07
SPEAKER_02: And she still complains.
12:08
SPEAKER_02: But you didn't bring it to me.
12:09
SPEAKER_02: You made me walk with you.
12:11
SPEAKER_02: So ha.
12:12
SPEAKER_05: Well, you were you talking to me?
12:14
SPEAKER_05: You were talking to me about something, and I didn't want you to feel unheard.
12:18
SPEAKER_02: I think that's cut off.
12:19
SPEAKER_05: What was that um the sound bite from that clip?
12:21
SPEAKER_05: Is that from white chicks?
12:23
SPEAKER_02: It's from White Chicks when uh Terry Cruz takes her out on the date or takes him out on the date, and he's like, Do you want a salad?
12:33
SPEAKER_02: Because it's a it's supposed to be a white girl, and he's like, No, stay.
12:37
SPEAKER_02: Which would be me.
12:39
SPEAKER_02: That was always me.
12:40
SPEAKER_02: I'm not having a salad on the city.

13:02
SPEAKER_05: Not you.
13:03
SPEAKER_05: You're gonna beautifully cut your your food.
13:06
SPEAKER_05: You're gonna set it down nicely, you're gonna get everything all situated.
13:11
SPEAKER_05: And you eat so beautifully.
13:14
SPEAKER_05: So I don't there is no way you do not.
13:17
SPEAKER_05: There's never a time, and I've known you for over 20 years, that you've ever eaten like that.
13:23
SPEAKER_05: That's so funny.
13:24
SPEAKER_05: You're so sweet.
13:25
SPEAKER_05: Amanda and I are like hunched down like we're at the prison.

13:45
SPEAKER_05: Oh.
13:45
SPEAKER_05: I don't even think about how it can be like aesthetically pleasing to others.
13:49
SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna eat, hopefully, like I've got some sense, but I'm gonna order all the whatever that I want.
13:57
SPEAKER_06: Salad is not it.

SPEAKER_06: It's so pretty.
16:26
SPEAKER_06: And now they've made the little tiny cans, and it's like, oh, it's so cute.
16:29
SPEAKER_06: I can't not get one.
16:31
SPEAKER_05: Oh, I've not seen the tiny cans.
16:33
SPEAKER_06: I have this big, they're so adorable.
16:36
SPEAKER_06: And it's like how much caffeine, so it's good for me.
16:42
SPEAKER_04: I've never even had an Alani.
16:45
SPEAKER_04: We tried it last week, and ugh, it was so sweet.
16:49
SPEAKER_04: You gotta like cup of water.
16:50
SPEAKER_02: I'll just take my bean water, you know.
16:53
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
16:54
SPEAKER_02: There is uh we did find out that there's 1.6 billion cups of coffee drank every day around the world.
17:01
SPEAKER_03: I believe that.
17:03
SPEAKER_02: 1.6 billion.
17:05
SPEAKER_02: That's it.
17:06
SPEAKER_03: And she says that's it.
17:07
SPEAKER_06: I have a coffee magnet.
17:09
SPEAKER_06: I have a million section of my kitchen is devoted to the coffee.
17:16
SPEAKER_06: It's like a little shrine of coffee gorgeousness in there.
17:24
SPEAKER_06: I thought I was bad with my drawer, but you have a whole section.
17:27
SPEAKER_06: A whole section.
17:28
SPEAKER_04: What about coffee cups?
17:29
SPEAKER_04: Y'all ever have to um clean your cabinets out and minimize your coffee cup?
17:33
SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
17:34
SPEAKER_02: Never now I do keep them trophies.
17:39
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
17:40
SPEAKER_04: Oh my gosh.
17:41
SPEAKER_04: Trophies.
17:42
SPEAKER_04: I had to get rid of some of mine and make some room because I had I just had way too many.
17:47
SPEAKER_05: Mm-mm.
17:48
SPEAKER_06: Give me a coffee.
17:48
SPEAKER_06: Well, I rotate mine out by the seasons.
17:51
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
17:52
SPEAKER_06: I have my app ones which are glass and aesthetically pleasing, and then I have my travel around ones, and they don't have lids anymore, and they look crazy.
18:03
SPEAKER_06: Yes.
18:04
SPEAKER_06: And they just roll around my car for about a month before I ring it.
18:06
SPEAKER_04: I was about to say, I'll I'll go into my car and drive to work with an a mug with a just like this.
18:12
SPEAKER_04: I'll drive to work just like this.
18:14
SPEAKER_05: No, I take the kids to school just like this.
18:16
SPEAKER_05: I don't want a closed in a car?
18:18
SPEAKER_05: I want it in an open car.
18:20
SPEAKER_05: Yes.
18:20
SPEAKER_05: A coffee open to air.
18:22
SPEAKER_05: That little opening.
18:23
SPEAKER_05: If I go to Starbucks, I'm gonna probably take my cup off and drink it from the cup.
18:30
SPEAKER_05: If I'm at work, I don't want it to spill, so of course I'm gonna keep a lid on it.
18:34
SPEAKER_05: I was like, you're gonna spill it and it's gonna get cold.
18:38
SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna spill it because I'm holding it the whole time and drinking it, right?
18:41
SPEAKER_04: I'm telling you.
18:41
SPEAKER_05: I bet you the vast majority, the vast majority of people, I bet, appreciate a coffee without a lid.
18:48
SPEAKER_05: I would be interested.
18:49
SPEAKER_05: Y'all gotta let us know.
18:50
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, if I'm gonna do it.
18:51
SPEAKER_05: Do you prefer the lid or without the lid?
18:53
SPEAKER_05: Oh, it doesn't matter.
18:55
SPEAKER_05: No, throw it in the car with us right here.
18:56
SPEAKER_05: I wanted to say hi.
18:57
SPEAKER_04: Well see, I think it tastes different when you drink it out of like an aluminum turvis versus a mug.
19:05
SPEAKER_04: I like a mug coffee way better.
19:08
SPEAKER_03: Me too.
19:09
SPEAKER_04: 10 out of 10.
19:10
SPEAKER_04: That's why I I choose this because it just tastes better, even if it gets all over my car.
19:16
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
19:17
SPEAKER_04: It's a we're it's a risk I'm worth willing to take.
19:22
SPEAKER_02: All right.
19:23
SPEAKER_02: I have a skit now that we will watch and we'll have to discuss if we think this is our own experience.
19:34
unknown: Oh my god.
19:36
unknown: Okay.
19:39
SPEAKER_00: Oh, sorry to wake you up.
19:41
SPEAKER_00: I don't I can take your biology and do everything, so I brought everything in here to get it down the alleyway.
19:46
SPEAKER_00: What time?
19:47
SPEAKER_00: What time is it?
19:47
SPEAKER_00: I think it's like 3 a.m.
19:49
SPEAKER_00: Like that with Spongebob scene, whereas but Patrick's like, oh boy, it's 3 a.m.
19:56
SPEAKER_00: It's not Spongebob, but he's from he's a star, like Patrick's star.
20:00
SPEAKER_00: I just woke up and so did I.
20:04
SPEAKER_00: Like a few hours ago.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: I know he's in the horse.
20:07
SPEAKER_00: Can you pee in this?
20:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, scratch it.
20:09
SPEAKER_00: I need a blood pressure.
20:10
SPEAKER_00: Give me that.
20:11
SPEAKER_00: Can I borrow it?
20:12
SPEAKER_00: I'll give it back.
20:12
SPEAKER_00: I'll give it back.
20:13
unknown: Who?
20:15
SPEAKER_00: Who is this for?
20:16
SPEAKER_00: I gotta draw your blood.
20:17
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
20:20
SPEAKER_00: I have water.
20:21
SPEAKER_00: No.
20:22
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
20:26
SPEAKER_00: Is this yours?
20:28
SPEAKER_00: We haven't gone through it.
20:29
SPEAKER_00: Do we know what's going on yet?
20:31
SPEAKER_00: Not yet.
20:32
SPEAKER_00: And I don't know when.
20:38
SPEAKER_00: Any other questions?
20:39
SPEAKER_00: I'm so confused.
20:41
SPEAKER_00: Well, you're called if you need me.
20:44
SPEAKER_02: That is strangely accurate.
20:46
SPEAKER_02: For those listening, it says it's 3 a.m., but I'm 1300 milligrams of caffeine in.
20:52
SPEAKER_02: So it's the nurse and then the patient kind of reacting to the caffeine nurse coming in.
21:00
SPEAKER_05: Kaylee, I need you to speak to this.
21:02
SPEAKER_05: So like I'm not there at night.
21:04
SPEAKER_05: Are nurses like this at 3 a.m., like heavily caffeinated, going into patient's room, not being able to finish a complete sentence like that?
21:12
SPEAKER_05: I feel like at 3 a.m.
21:14
SPEAKER_05: I I am nauseous and I'm just trying to not vomit.
21:19
SPEAKER_05: Like maybe at like 4, 4:30, when it's like, okay, vitals, EKGs, labs, you haven't done your bath.
21:27
SPEAKER_05: Maybe.
21:28
SPEAKER_05: Um some people, but that is certainly not me.
21:31
SPEAKER_05: I'm in there just like, you know, just trying to keep my eyeball open and maybe a little shaky and trying to not wake the patient up.
21:40
SPEAKER_05: Always.
21:41
SPEAKER_05: Well, I wake up baseline disoriented at times.
21:45
SPEAKER_05: I can only imagine being the patient and having a nurse coming in with like a flight of ideas like that and just not stopping.
21:53
SPEAKER_02: I think I think for this it was like it's supposed to be like they're have so much caffeine that they're thinking and moving.
22:00
SPEAKER_02: So quick.
22:01
SPEAKER_02: Right.
22:01
SPEAKER_02: And like, yeah, like in their mind, it's like, oh yeah, you're making sense.
22:05
SPEAKER_02: And then in like the disoriented patient, like they're just getting like startled awake from you.
22:12
SPEAKER_02: And you're like, oh, this Spongebob Patrick.
22:16
SPEAKER_02: And they're like, where's that coming from?
22:19
SPEAKER_05: That reminds me more of when my kids would wake me up early in the morning and they were toddlers and they're like full of energy.
22:27
SPEAKER_05: And it's like and I'm like, huh?
22:31
SPEAKER_05: Like, what's going on?
22:33
SPEAKER_05: So I'm sure that that's probably accurate for a lot of patients, bless their hearts.
22:38
SPEAKER_06: When I was a patient postpartum, I was a patient with a newborn, not doing well.
22:47
SPEAKER_06: It was about 4 a.m.
22:49
SPEAKER_06: And the nurse practitioner walked in the room, flipped on all the lights at 6 a.m.
22:56
SPEAKER_06: and screamed, good morning, and woke up me and my spouse and the baby, and everybody screamed back at her.
23:10
SPEAKER_06: I think she had had a little too much caffeine that morning.
23:13
SPEAKER_05: I mean, you got to know better than that.
23:15
SPEAKER_05: You can't know.
23:16
SPEAKER_05: We need to walk into the Zen garden when you're coming in.
23:18
SPEAKER_05: It's alarming.
23:19
SPEAKER_06: It's alarming when a nurse comes in too caffeinated.
23:23
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
23:24
SPEAKER_05: To me, I feel like sometimes maybe if I'm so tired, I'm like gonna fake it that I'm like really energetic.
23:31
SPEAKER_05: Like, have y'all ever done that?
23:32
SPEAKER_05: Where it's like you got to work and you're like, if I don't just like make this happen, it's gonna be terrible.
23:38
SPEAKER_05: So it's like early in the morning, you're like, hey, you know, you're being like overly um happy and energy, but it's all fake.
23:45
SPEAKER_05: It's all fake.
23:46
SPEAKER_06: Have you met me?
23:47
SPEAKER_06: Have you worked with me?
23:48
SPEAKER_06: That's every day.
23:50
SPEAKER_05: And you can and it like you last until you burn out at like 10 a.m.
23:54
SPEAKER_05: It's like, okay, that's all I had.
23:56
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I used it.
23:58
SPEAKER_06: We're spinning out.
23:59
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
24:01
SPEAKER_06: You get the third snud remark about something from the night shift nurse that they haven't done that they've left for you while you're in rapport, and your happy demeanor has all of a sudden come off and we are unwell.
24:19
SPEAKER_02: I do think that sometimes we forget that, like also working nights, like sometimes we forget it's so easy to forget because you are so awake, especially in the hospital when it's like whether I'm there at 7 a.m.
24:32
SPEAKER_02: or 7 p.m.
24:33
SPEAKER_02: or 3 a.m.
24:34
SPEAKER_02: or 3 p.m.
24:35
SPEAKER_02: Like in my office, especially, it looks the same all the time because it's like a casino almost.
24:41
SPEAKER_02: Like there's no windows, there's no natural light, like there's no clocks on the wall.
24:46
SPEAKER_02: So like 3 p.m.
24:48
SPEAKER_02: and 3 a.m.
24:49
SPEAKER_02: are the same for me.
24:51
SPEAKER_02: And so it's sometimes you walk, I walk out and I'm like on night shift, and I'm like, I'm feeling good.
24:57
SPEAKER_02: Like, what's going on?
24:58
SPEAKER_02: Like, why is no one awake and talking and interacting with me?
25:03
SPEAKER_02: Somebody can play with me.
25:05
SPEAKER_02: So um when I was a charge nurse, I had one person on my team, and they would fall asleep at the nurse's station a lot, and like they would have a ton of caffeine, but I think it was like to the point where like all their receptors were maxed out.
25:26
SPEAKER_02: And so one time, as opposed to like being like, let's go for a walk, like let's go do this, I was like, Hey, you're going get a new patient.
25:35
SPEAKER_02: Why don't you go set up your room?
25:38
SPEAKER_02: Um, they'll be here in a minute.
25:40
SPEAKER_02: So they're like groggily, like I knew I had a couple minutes, they were like groggily like going in and start setting up the room.
25:47
SPEAKER_02: And I had hidden in the closet, and I jumped out at them to wake them up.
25:57
SPEAKER_02: But I was like waiting for the right time to jump out.
26:00
SPEAKER_02: So they had like pretty much set up the whole room.
26:03
SPEAKER_02: Like I'd been in the closet like a solid 10 minutes, and I jumped, I jumped out at him, and he fell into the wall.
26:13
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, I would have died, I would have cried laughing.
26:16
SPEAKER_02: He got so scared.
26:18
SPEAKER_02: Like I jumped out and I was like, ha! And he was like, Oh my god, and like fell back.
26:24
SPEAKER_02: And he was like, I thought it was a ghost for a second.
26:29
SPEAKER_02: And then it just so it just so happened that like there was some patient that couldn't sleep.
26:36
SPEAKER_02: So their nurse was like walking them around the unit at 3 a.m.
26:40
SPEAKER_02: And they were like, Oh, what happened?
26:42
SPEAKER_02: And they're like, Oh, that's probably our charge nurse just scaring someone in cats.
26:49
SPEAKER_05: Was that during your prankster days?
26:50
SPEAKER_05: This was my prankster days.
26:53
SPEAKER_05: I'm telling you, there is nothing funnier.
26:55
SPEAKER_05: If y'all want to make me laugh, if I'm in a bad mood, if I'm sad, send me a whole compilation of people being scared.
27:03
SPEAKER_05: I cry laughing.
27:06
SPEAKER_05: Some people, you know, they love seeing not people get hurt, but if people like fall and they're not hurt, like obviously they're okay.
27:13
SPEAKER_05: They think that's hysterical.
27:14
SPEAKER_05: Well, if somebody gets scared, I'm I'm done.
27:18
SPEAKER_05: I'm done.
27:18
SPEAKER_05: I'm done.
27:19
SPEAKER_05: It's hysterical.
27:20
SPEAKER_05: Abby, I would have died if I saw you do that.
27:22
SPEAKER_02: He did not get hurt, but he did wake up.
27:26
SPEAKER_02: He was wide awake.
27:28
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he was wide awake the rest of the shift.
27:31
SPEAKER_02: And I think I almost created like a fear response because it never again was he like nodding off at the nurse's station when I was there.
27:39
SPEAKER_02: Like, oh my god, she's going to scare me again.
27:43
SPEAKER_02: I gotta I gotta be awake.
27:45
SPEAKER_04: Well that town.
27:47
SPEAKER_04: I thought you were gonna say that he you call him slipping into the bed to get a quick nap in.
27:52
SPEAKER_04: No, no.
27:56
SPEAKER_04: I have absolutely done that before though.
27:58
SPEAKER_04: Not in the bed, but for a lunch break, I have gone and taken a nap.
28:04
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
28:06
SPEAKER_02: When I worked in the nursing home, we had to clock out for our lunch, and that's all we would do at our lunch times.
28:12
SPEAKER_02: Like there was like a little room, we would clock out, we would take our blanket, go take like a 25-minute nap, come back, clock right in, and go back to work.
28:21
SPEAKER_02: Like none of us actually ate.
28:22
SPEAKER_02: We just all took a nap as Kaylee Yons.
28:27
SPEAKER_06: One of my friends did a travel assignment in Hawaii and they made them go take naps for a break.
28:35
SPEAKER_06: I can't do that.
28:36
SPEAKER_05: I cannot fall asleep at work.
28:37
SPEAKER_05: It doesn't matter how ti how tired I am.
28:38
SPEAKER_05: It's like a mental thing.
28:39
SPEAKER_05: Because as soon as I I'd be like, as soon as I get to sleep, I'll just have to wake up.
28:43
SPEAKER_05: It wouldn't be worth it.
28:44
SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
28:45
SPEAKER_06: You wouldn't want me post nap.
28:47
SPEAKER_06: I can tell you that.
28:48
SPEAKER_05: No, well, see, that's how I am.
28:49
SPEAKER_05: Some people love like a 20, 25 minute power nap.
28:52
SPEAKER_05: I remember my mom used to do that like after work.
28:54
SPEAKER_05: She's like, I just need to take a little cat nap.
28:57
SPEAKER_05: So that's gonna make me angry.
28:59
SPEAKER_05: I want a whole two-hour slumber.
29:02
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
29:03
SPEAKER_05: If it's not two or three hours, yes.
29:05
SPEAKER_05: We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it worth it.
29:07
SPEAKER_05: Um that a little 20-minute nap is just gonna piss me off.
29:10
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I love it.
29:12
SPEAKER_02: All right, I do too.
29:13
SPEAKER_02: I'll take it.
29:13
SPEAKER_02: Isn't that funny how we're all so different?
29:15
SPEAKER_02: I couldn't do it.
29:17
SPEAKER_02: Here is another one.
29:25
SPEAKER_02: All right.
29:26
SPEAKER_02: For those listen, for those listening, he is just holding up his caffeine, and on the screen it says, Too much caffeine is dangerous, in quotes.
29:36
SPEAKER_02: And then it says, Not if everyone you work with is ACLS certified.
29:41
SPEAKER_05: It's the white monster.
29:42
SPEAKER_02: And the white monster.
29:43
SPEAKER_02: The white monster.
29:44
SPEAKER_02: Yikes.
29:46
SPEAKER_05: Well, I mean, it's funny, but also there's a line.
29:52
SPEAKER_05: There's just a line that we just can't cross with the amount of caffeine that somebody can ingest in such a short period of time.
29:59
SPEAKER_02: But people do it, and I think that's the other thing.
30:02
SPEAKER_02: Like, for me, this one, like it's funny, it's true.
30:05
SPEAKER_02: I like we do have not that we're taking in that much caffeine, but can there's a reason why caffeine use disorder is being submitted because caffeine, caffeine pills, all of this, um, like it does cause heart problems and like healthcare workers joke about how much we drink, but it's just sometimes I'm like, oh, it's another one of those situations, like do as I tell you, not as I do.
30:34
SPEAKER_02: It's like the cancer doctor doctor smoking cigarettes like, yeah, you have cancer because you smoked, but I'm still going to smoke, so don't do what I you know.
30:46
SPEAKER_02: It's the cardiologist that says stop eating red meat and then goes out for a steak four nights a week.
30:53
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
30:54
SPEAKER_05: And it's a real thing too.
30:56
SPEAKER_05: I mean, I remember there's lots of pulmonologists I used to work with, Ava, I'm sure you remember 20 years ago.
31:01
SPEAKER_05: They would just be a smoking, and I thought they know the risk.
31:07
SPEAKER_05: Do what you want to do.
31:08
SPEAKER_05: That's right.
31:09
SPEAKER_05: I don't harp on the caffeine with our cardiac patients as much just because in like reality, like if you drink a lot of caffeine, if you eat a lot of like salty, fatty foods and you smoke, it's like we gotta tackle the the the ones that are gonna make more of a difference, I guess.
31:29
SPEAKER_05: And it's also so hard.
31:31
SPEAKER_05: Like, if you're saying that you're gonna try to quit smoking, then like have your coffee, babe.
31:36
SPEAKER_05: Like, that's exactly right.
31:37
SPEAKER_05: You don't need to cold turkey everything because that's just gonna set you up for failure, and it's gonna be that much more disappointing.
31:42
SPEAKER_05: You're not gonna get rid of salt, get rid of cigarettes, get rid of.
31:45
SPEAKER_05: I mean, I appreciate that you want to be that um what am I trying to say?
31:52
SPEAKER_03: Um I like that.
31:55
SPEAKER_05: Proactive.
31:56
SPEAKER_05: Thank you.
31:56
SPEAKER_05: But it's a little unrealistically proactive.
32:00
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
32:01
SPEAKER_06: So it's just too much for patients to hear, too.
32:03
SPEAKER_06: They're already in the hospital, they're already uncomfortable, they're already probably a little bit embarrassed that some little young girl is telling them what they have done wrong for their whole life, that they don't want to hear one more thing.
32:18
SPEAKER_06: So you have to pick your baby.
32:19
SPEAKER_05: And you've got you have patients too who are like, gosh, I have such a bad headache.
32:23
SPEAKER_05: And I'm like, Well, you probably haven't gotten enough sleep.
32:25
SPEAKER_05: My next question is how much caffeine do you drink a day?
32:28
SPEAKER_05: Because if you haven't had caffeine in a couple of days, I'm gonna go get you some coffee or whatever your drink of choice is.
32:33
SPEAKER_05: Like, I'm I'm just it's not that's not worth it.
32:36
SPEAKER_05: Like, I don't want you to also be withdrawing from caffeine and having to deal with all that you're dealing with, you know?
32:42
SPEAKER_05: Yep.
32:43
SPEAKER_05: 100%.
32:45
SPEAKER_02: So what if you guys do get a young cardiac patient who's in there primarily just for caffeine use causing tachyarrhythmia or other heart issues?
32:56
SPEAKER_02: Are you then going to go in and tell them to cut back the caffeine and go out and have your coffee?
33:03
SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
33:04
SPEAKER_05: Yes, for sure.
33:05
SPEAKER_05: Absolutely.
33:06
SPEAKER_05: Because I think there's a line, like I said earlier.
33:08
SPEAKER_05: You know, there was like I said in this last episode, the physician that there was somebody that I worked with a while back, and this person told me they had 400 milligrams of caffeine and it wasn't even lunch yet.
33:20
SPEAKER_05: Like there's a line.
33:22
SPEAKER_05: There's there's just a line that you don't need 1300 milligrams of caffeine in X amount of time, you know.
33:30
SPEAKER_05: It's but they're in the hospital and I'm not, so it's they still need a nurse for them.
33:37
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
33:39
SPEAKER_05: Like you can't talk to me, I'm not admitted into the ICU for it.
33:44
SPEAKER_02: You know, this is one that Kaylee shared with me.
33:48
SPEAKER_00: You need to leave that dope alone.
33:53
SPEAKER_00: He need to leave that dope alone.
33:54
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
33:57
SPEAKER_02: So for those listening on the screen, it says when you see your coworker opening their fifth energy drink and it's not even halfway into the shift yet.
34:06
SPEAKER_02: And so he's saying, You gotta leave that alone.
34:09
SPEAKER_06: Who can afford five energy drinks in a shi and halfway through your shift?
34:15
SPEAKER_06: That's that's expensive.
34:16
SPEAKER_06: At least coffee is not as expensive.
34:19
SPEAKER_05: They'd be going to Sam's club and they'd be buying it, I guess, on the cheap members more.
34:24
SPEAKER_05: I just remember like that makes me think of Ashley.
34:26
SPEAKER_05: Like one day we were like, it was the afternoon.
34:29
SPEAKER_05: At some point we got to like sit down for a second, and she's got like her coffee, and she's like, I don't know why my hands are shaking.
34:36
SPEAKER_05: And I was like, Oh how many like cups of coffee have you had?
34:40
SPEAKER_05: And she was like, you know, it was something like that.
34:43
SPEAKER_05: Might have been her third or fourth or whatever.
34:45
SPEAKER_05: She hadn't eaten or anything.
34:46
SPEAKER_05: I was like, I think I know why.
34:49
SPEAKER_05: She was like, I don't know why my hands are shaking.
34:53
SPEAKER_04: It made me think of her when I saw that.
34:56
SPEAKER_04: I was I think I was gonna say something along the lines of I just need a little bit of propanolol and then I'll be fun.
35:03
SPEAKER_04: Oh my gracious sakes.
35:05
SPEAKER_04: I like your thinking.
35:09
SPEAKER_05: I mean, uh yeah, I don't disagree with your reasoning to some degree.
35:15
SPEAKER_05: But it's hard for me not to go like mama bear and be like, no, you're not doing that.
35:20
SPEAKER_05: Absolutely not.
35:21
SPEAKER_02: You're grown, but good grief.
35:22
SPEAKER_02: I got a couple more.
35:24
SPEAKER_02: This one I think matches what we're referring to with Ashley, maybe.
35:30
SPEAKER_02: So it says point of view, you work in healthcare and live off caffeine.
35:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
35:37
SPEAKER_00: You on speed?
35:38
SPEAKER_00: I am speed, mother.
35:45
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
35:46
SPEAKER_07: Oh, that was a good one.
35:48
SPEAKER_04: That's really good.
35:49
SPEAKER_04: I have had I have had some patients or their family members tell me that I move really fast.
35:56
SPEAKER_04: You do.
35:57
SPEAKER_04: I don't slow down, I'm gonna make a mistake.
35:59
SPEAKER_04: I'm like.
36:00
SPEAKER_04: Oh, no, they shouldn't say that.
36:02
SPEAKER_04: You just move fast.
36:03
SPEAKER_04: It's just your baseline self.
36:05
SPEAKER_06: I don't think people understand how many tasks we have to fulfill in a 12-hour span of time with very little help.
36:16
SPEAKER_06: Right.
36:16
SPEAKER_06: I feel like if I'm not moving at a really intense speed for some days, like things can't get done.
36:24
SPEAKER_04: Don't get done.
36:25
SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean, you know, half the time we our census isn't high enough to have a care partner, so we're having to front a lot of that.
36:32
SPEAKER_04: And then the more tasks they add on and the less workers they take away, things just get piled on the nurses.
36:39
SPEAKER_04: So we've got to be more efficient, faster, smarter, hotter.
36:43
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
36:44
SPEAKER_06: It's just less water, less pea breaks, more coffee.
36:49
SPEAKER_06: And God forbid we have a break room without the call bell dinging in it.
36:54
SPEAKER_06: So then you're like, you know, mid-bite of food is like ding, and you're like triggered.
37:02
SPEAKER_04: I know like Pablo's dogs.
37:03
SPEAKER_04: You just get up and start running.
37:05
SPEAKER_02: Makes me so bad when I hear it in there.
37:08
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
37:09
SPEAKER_02: I think that brings up another part of like the caffeine use throughout the hospital.
37:14
SPEAKER_02: Is a lot of this does bring us joy.
37:16
SPEAKER_02: Like the flavor like most of us like like the flavor, like people love the flavor of their energy drinks or their coffee.
37:24
SPEAKER_02: And it is like sometimes it's like this is just my like little bit of joy that I get today in the hospital.
37:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
37:32
SPEAKER_06: I think that's what it is for me for sure.
37:34
SPEAKER_06: Because I can sit at home, have a coffee, and completely zone out and not feel amped up, hyped up.
37:45
SPEAKER_06: I could probably take a nap if I close my eyes.
37:49
SPEAKER_06: And at work, when you know, it's like that little bit of joy.
37:54
SPEAKER_06: You take the first sip of coffee and you're like, oh, this feels okay.
37:58
SPEAKER_06: This feels good.
37:59
SPEAKER_06: I was aggravated five minutes ago, but now I'm okay.
38:02
SPEAKER_06: That's why we always had our tea time.
38:04
SPEAKER_06: We would like try to get everything done at a certain time.
38:09
SPEAKER_06: And we would rush, rush, rush, and at three o'clock, three fifteen, let's go have tea time.
38:16
SPEAKER_06: We have five minutes.
38:17
SPEAKER_06: We have five minutes.
38:18
SPEAKER_02: Let's go have tea time.
38:22
SPEAKER_02: Do you remember the one time me and you did a tea time at the stop and go one?
38:29
SPEAKER_02: And we like we were just yapping so much.
38:32
SPEAKER_02: We went, we got our coffees, we walked back, and then we're sitting with Jim, and then we're both like, oh my god, we forgot to pay.
38:40
SPEAKER_02: And we had to run back to pay.
38:43
SPEAKER_02: Oh, we stole it.
38:46
SPEAKER_02: We stole it.
38:47
SPEAKER_02: We were just so in the zone of where we got we had like 10 minutes to get tea time before the patient showed up.
38:53
SPEAKER_02: We're going to go, we're talking, we're talking, yapping, get our coffees, walk back, and we're like, neither of us paid.
39:01
SPEAKER_02: Oops.
39:02
SPEAKER_04: We almost have gone to the stab and grab or whatever they call it.
39:04
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we did.
39:05
SPEAKER_04: We went to the stab and grab.
39:06
SPEAKER_05: But we did go back to the city.
39:07
SPEAKER_05: It does bring us it brings us so much joy though, like you're saying, like in the afternoon, or like when we first get there, I don't care what season it is.
39:14
SPEAKER_05: I want my hot coffee.
39:16
SPEAKER_05: And I want to be able to.
39:18
SPEAKER_05: Now, you don't always get to do this.
39:20
SPEAKER_05: Sometimes you put your book bag down and go straight into a room before you get report or look at a chart or anything because there's an emergency going on.
39:27
SPEAKER_05: But to be able to sit down after report, go through your orders, go through your labs, go through your meds, check some allergies, read a little bit about what's going on, fill in the gaps from report if you need to.
39:40
SPEAKER_05: That time just to like get settled in and drink your coffee.
39:43
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
39:44
SPEAKER_05: It's glorious.
39:45
SPEAKER_05: It's on it's honestly kind of enjoying.
39:49
SPEAKER_04: Oh, it is.
39:49
SPEAKER_04: You're right, Ashley.
39:50
SPEAKER_05: Like it's yeah, it's it does bring you joy to be able to just get settled in with that coffee.
39:57
SPEAKER_06: But shout out to our precious little baby angels that make our little coffees in the morning.
40:02
unknown: Oh.
40:03
SPEAKER_06: So cute.
40:04
SPEAKER_06: So precious.
40:05
SPEAKER_06: We talked about that last time.
40:08
SPEAKER_05: We talked about that.
40:09
SPEAKER_05: They have no idea.
40:11
SPEAKER_05: The baristas at the hospital, the people that serve the food, the people that serve us, and the family members have no idea how important their job is.
40:20
SPEAKER_05: And it's so true.
40:21
SPEAKER_05: And when you have you go down there and they're just so full.
40:24
SPEAKER_05: Ava, I know we have our our two favorites when they're together.
40:30
SPEAKER_05: And if one of them is by herself, she ain't the same.
40:33
SPEAKER_05: She needs her little sidekick.
40:34
SPEAKER_05: So when the two girls are down there that you can tell just feed off each other, and they just have such a warm positive vibe, it's like, oh, so nice.
40:44
SPEAKER_05: Get your coffee.
40:45
SPEAKER_05: Have some new customer service.
40:47
SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
40:47
SPEAKER_06: I don't even have to tell them.
40:48
SPEAKER_06: They're like, you want your usual?
40:50
SPEAKER_06: I'm like, yes, I do.
40:52
SPEAKER_06: And then I feel so special because they know my usual.
40:55
SPEAKER_06: They know it.
40:56
SPEAKER_06: So fun.
40:56
SPEAKER_06: Well, because you're so you always treat people so well too.
40:59
SPEAKER_06: So what you oh, they're so fun if you get great.
41:02
SPEAKER_05: I'm sure they're happy to see y'all because y'all are very kind and you're very sweet to people who bring it up.
41:07
SPEAKER_05: And I love to check customer service.
41:09
SPEAKER_03: I just love it.
41:11
SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
41:11
SPEAKER_02: Yep, and love on them, and they're so fun.
41:16
SPEAKER_02: All right.
41:17
SPEAKER_02: This one matches exactly what we're talking about now.
41:21
SPEAKER_00: So time is it?
41:25
SPEAKER_02: Capacito time.
41:27
SPEAKER_00: Hey Margot, what time?
41:28
SPEAKER_00: Capacito time.
41:31
SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, he's so cute.
41:33
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that looks like that.
41:36
SPEAKER_01: Can we start doing that?
41:37
SPEAKER_05: Can we make that's so fun?
41:40
SPEAKER_05: Let's see if we can get a Cuban coffee in the budget.
41:43
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
41:43
SPEAKER_05: Let's ask the boss.
41:45
SPEAKER_02: I think so, but when I found it, I was like, oh, we're not like the only team that like has tea time.
41:51
SPEAKER_02: Like we're not the only unit that does this.
41:54
SPEAKER_02: Like they're all like, it's cafecito time.
41:57
SPEAKER_02: Um like they're making it on the unit.
41:59
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, like the little shop classes, you know.
42:04
SPEAKER_05: Why can't we do that?
42:05
SPEAKER_05: Now we have something not equivalent, but there is one nurse that I know that we work with.
42:11
SPEAKER_05: She always comes around with her app and says, Oh, yeah, from Starbucks.
42:15
SPEAKER_05: And I'm like, I could pure hug you and kiss you.
42:18
SPEAKER_05: Thank you.
42:18
SPEAKER_05: Yes.
42:18
SPEAKER_05: The answer is.
42:19
SPEAKER_06: She's like on the top of my list in my Venmo statement.
42:24
SPEAKER_06: Like, you know, this one girl, she's always with on her order, and I don't even have to search her name whenever.
42:31
SPEAKER_06: That's right.
42:32
SPEAKER_06: That's right.
42:33
SPEAKER_06: Teethone when she's there.
42:35
SPEAKER_05: We don't have a cappuccino machine or an espresso machine or anything like that, but being able to like serve each other like that is so good to my soul.
42:45
SPEAKER_02: This is exactly like, but it's good.
42:48
SPEAKER_02: So this is just one thing though that I can say a little bit like outside is like sometimes those like those times the providers get left out of it a lot.
43:02
SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, no one I have no idea who you're talking about.
43:07
SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't know who you're talking about.
43:09
SPEAKER_02: Because like we never pass, but it's just but it's not just that.
43:14
SPEAKER_02: There's like a lot of things that like the providers get left out of in terms of that.
43:20
SPEAKER_05: My feelings.
43:21
SPEAKER_04: That's so sad.
43:22
SPEAKER_05: I can I could totally see that, and I think we definitely need to do a better job at that.
43:28
SPEAKER_05: I'd not yeah, try to ask like if I'm ordering some things, you know, hey, do you do you want anything from if we're getting a smoothie in the afternoon?
43:36
SPEAKER_05: Because I know that there's a couple providers that appreciate some items from the place we order that we get smoothies from.
43:43
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
43:43
SPEAKER_05: That's really nice of her.
43:44
SPEAKER_05: I feel like it's overwhelming to try to get an order for everybody working.
43:49
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
43:50
SPEAKER_05: And you do have to know I would somewhere.
43:52
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
43:55
SPEAKER_02: But I I love that like teams do it.
43:58
SPEAKER_02: I love that it's not just Our team that has some of this stuff, um, I think that it's great and I think it's great team building as well that we can all have kind of that moment together.
44:10
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
44:10
SPEAKER_05: It's like a little bright spot in the day.
44:13
SPEAKER_05: You know?
44:14
SPEAKER_04: A little morsel of sunshine.
44:16
SPEAKER_05: And you know what?
44:17
SPEAKER_05: If you've had enough caffeine, you just get you a little decaf or something and you can still participate and you can go back to the days.
44:25
SPEAKER_05: The very first thing that very first time I recorded, you know, it's about the little things.
44:30
SPEAKER_05: And coffee is a little thing, but it's a big thing.
44:34
SPEAKER_05: And being included is always nice.
44:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
44:38
SPEAKER_02: When I was a bedside nurse, we had one of the neurosurgery fellows, and anytime we had a wrap end on our unit, anytime there was a big patient situation, he would go down to the Starbucks and buy like 10 coffees and bring them up to the unit for us.
44:56
SPEAKER_02: Like they were all plain, like he didn't get like special ones, but it was just the gesture.
45:00
SPEAKER_02: It was the oh nice, let's have some nice like very quick.
45:05
SPEAKER_02: You did great.
45:06
SPEAKER_02: Here's a coffee.
45:08
SPEAKER_02: Let's also it op it opened it up to like sit and talk about it too.
45:13
SPEAKER_02: And he was one of our favorite fellows.
45:15
SPEAKER_02: Was he always super nice?
45:17
SPEAKER_02: No, but these like small gestures, these small moments did allow for us to be like, okay, you're human, you see us as humans, and when we each of us has a bad day, we can all come back together.
45:30
SPEAKER_02: So that's huge.
45:32
SPEAKER_02: That one always reminded me too.
45:34
SPEAKER_02: Um, or this cafe cito actually like brought that memory back to me of like, oh yeah, I remember he he always did that, and it was always super nice.
45:44
SPEAKER_05: Remember that day?
45:45
SPEAKER_05: It was terrible, awful.
45:46
SPEAKER_05: I'm sure one, if not all of you were there and our attending, I don't remember, I think all the nurses hadn't eaten.
45:53
SPEAKER_05: There's like something going on in each pod.
45:55
SPEAKER_05: And this physician, who we don't regularly work with, but bought us all, went to the vending machine and bought just a ton of snacks and then laid out snacks on all of our desks.
46:06
SPEAKER_05: Like that was it's like you see me, you see that we're not we haven't eaten, you see that we need a little something, something, and you've taken it upon yourself, not even to ask us what we wanted, but just to set it down.
46:17
SPEAKER_05: And we were so grateful, you know?
46:20
SPEAKER_02: It's really sweet.
46:21
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
46:21
SPEAKER_02: That was sweet.
46:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
46:23
SPEAKER_02: All right, one last one.
46:26
SPEAKER_02: All right, and this one kind of goes along the lines of like the team building of it.
46:30
SPEAKER_02: So for those listening, it says, Who wanna go get a coffee with me and pretend it'll give us energy, but really we'll just be writing notes at 180 beats per minute.
46:42
SPEAKER_02: And it's just music, just the skill.
46:49
SPEAKER_02: Well that's it.
46:51
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
46:54
SPEAKER_05: 180.
46:55
SPEAKER_05: It's true.
46:56
SPEAKER_05: Well, and beat beats per minute for the non-medical folks are is referring to your heart rate.
47:02
SPEAKER_05: So hopefully, hopefully your heart rate's on 180.
47:06
SPEAKER_05: Hopefully that's overly.
47:17
SPEAKER_06: That's what it's like.
47:17
SPEAKER_06: This is just the speed I like it at.
47:19
SPEAKER_06: Here we go.
47:21
SPEAKER_06: I don't know why my hands are shaking.
47:24
SPEAKER_06: I don't know why these hands are shaking.
47:28
SPEAKER_02: Have you had any water to balance it out?
47:31
SPEAKER_06: She's slowing down to 180 beats a minute.
47:35
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
47:38
SPEAKER_02: But that's funny.
47:39
SPEAKER_02: It reminded me too of like, okay, none of us, like you do reach a point where it's like not going to do anything.
47:46
SPEAKER_02: Like you're not going to get more energy.
47:48
SPEAKER_02: But again, like it's that team building that, like, okay, let's go do this together quick.
47:53
SPEAKER_02: That I think is just also having gone through some of the social media, that seems to be kind of the root of some of this caffeine use.
48:02
SPEAKER_02: Is it is one of those things that binds us together or that we can use to bind us together.
48:10
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know what y'all's thoughts are on that.
48:12
SPEAKER_05: I agree.
48:14
SPEAKER_05: A shared addiction?
48:14
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, for sure.
48:19
SPEAKER_02: Nobody wants to be in the church by themselves.
48:22
SPEAKER_02: Shared addiction or just dependence.
48:24
SPEAKER_02: There's a difference.
48:29
SPEAKER_05: I think there's worse things to be bonded over or to share together.
48:34
SPEAKER_05: You know?
48:36
SPEAKER_05: You could be in a pod in a pod with somebody you really don't like and you don't care to talk to outside of work, but like if I'm gonna go down and get a coffee, I'll be like, Can I bring you something?
48:46
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
48:46
SPEAKER_05: That's just a universal Yeah.
48:51
SPEAKER_02: I don't think it's that bad.
48:53
SPEAKER_02: Um, we had a new fellow and one of the one of the other APPs on the team had said, like, you know, we try to be good team members.
49:03
SPEAKER_02: Like you go downstairs, you go and get something, we always ask everyone.
49:08
SPEAKER_02: And so anytime he goes anywhere.
49:11
SPEAKER_02: Do you need me to get you a coffee?
49:12
SPEAKER_02: Abby, do you need a diet coke right now?
49:14
SPEAKER_02: Do you need me?
49:15
SPEAKER_02: I'm going down.
49:16
SPEAKER_02: What do you need?
49:17
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, sweet.
49:20
SPEAKER_02: It's so sweet, but I'm like, it's like I think should they were just telling you, like, this is just kind of how the team operates, not that you have to do it every single time.
49:32
SPEAKER_03: No, eager to please you should keep that.
49:37
SPEAKER_03: That's good.
49:38
SPEAKER_03: I was about to say, I'd that'll do them well.
49:44
SPEAKER_03: Yep.
49:46
SPEAKER_03: I agree.
49:47
SPEAKER_06: At least you know they're teachable.
49:49
SPEAKER_05: They remember just asking somebody, hey, can I get you something while I'm down there?
49:57
SPEAKER_05: That's a love language of mine.
50:01
SPEAKER_05: Or just doing it.
50:02
SPEAKER_05: If you like, no, we're just doing it.
50:04
SPEAKER_05: Or just surprising me with it.
50:06
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
50:07
SPEAKER_02: I'll never forget you.
50:08
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
50:10
SPEAKER_02: Some nurses will automatically, no matter what, get me a Diet Coke if they're doing any sort of food order, and I'll just have a fountain Diet Coke at my desk sometimes.
50:20
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, Is that a good nice?
