The ECG Machine

Usually the student nurses are the ones who push the ECG machine around in the ER and they're usually the ones who put on the leads, ect... I, being a med student, usually helps in placing the limb leads and often, I'm more interested in the ECG itself (woops)

So today in the red zone, there were no student nurses and the nurse had disappeared for a while so we (me along with my medic friends) were the ones who had to do the ECG. That's quite easy actually, the leads were put in the correct positions, the wires correctly positioned...but somehow, when I pressed start, nothing happened...

I was quite puzzled for a while when I realized that I didn't plug the machine into the socket! Woopsie...

*stupid meeee*
