This seems oddly reminiscent of high-level video game competition; there’s a lot going on, things can go horribly wrong at any moment, and you have to very quickly figure out what’s important, what isn’t, and what you need to do about it.
This reminds me of a conversation I had in the staffroom recently. Two nurses had been talking about some dragon-breeding game they both played on Facebook. I stopped paying attention to the conversation for a bit, and when I zoned back in, they were talking about how annoying it was to have to “restart their sled.” I asked if this was something in their dragon-breeding game. They both laughed for a solid thirty seconds before correcting me–it was a dialysis machine. Apparently ‘SLED’ stands for ‘sustained low-efficiency dialysis’. They said it would make the world’s worst game.
But a critical care medicine or critical care nursing video game might actually be quite fun and exciting, for people who aren’t already doing that stuff all day...
