So it seems that everyone is really busy lately or just lurking. So here is a fun thread to get everyone going again!
As you all may not know, I work for a major pharmaceutical company. I had a large inservice this week at my largest hospital. Its taken 4 years for me to get the intensive care docs together for a presentation. The presentation I was quarterbacking was a national teleconference featuring a highly published and credible medical doctor regarding the management of sepsis. Sepsis is infection of the blood stream with a high mortality rate.
So with plates of food in front of them, I had 7 MD's and 27 other nurses and the hosptial administrator all sitting around the table with attention focused on the Powerpoint notes I had passed out. All I had left to do was dial in to the teleconference. So I dialed in. A company called The National Teleconference Center facilitates teleconferences across the nation for large and small corporations. Many of my collegues across the country were also dialed in with their hospital customers awaiting a very in-depth, scientific presentation via the teleconference.
So the National Teleconference Center moderator chimes in right at noon to announce the commencement of the teleconference. Unbenounced to me one of their technicians put me into the wrong teleconference. So with over 30 important hospital personnel in the room with me, we hear this from the speaker phone loudspeaker: WELCOME TO THE TOYS-R-US TELECONFERENCE!
"wanna get away?"
