Code Brew

When a group of health care workers, on weekend night shift initiate a meeting of the minds via text message ( similar to Batman’s Bat signal) in order to summon select individuals of a busy hospital or department/unit to participate in post work decompression at a nearby bar. The message is often sent by a member of xray, ct , or ultrasound and other participants such as Respiratory therapists, phlebotomists, ekg and ED techs, and nurses can be invited to partake in mandatory shenanigans and tomfoolery after work .During times of ridiculously high volume, dealing with stressful conditions and events , as well as birthdays, Anniversaries, holidays, venting, gossip , and a need to quench “thirst “ for employees to engage in laughter, social lubrication, and in order to survive / move forward and go work the next shift, the code brew message/text must be sent. Code brews serve as liquid amnesia and a method of therapy so the overworked medical professional can sleep better and continue doing the job . It’s a necessary deterrent so individuals do not quit or get fired and instead become legends and icons. Code brew has been a stepping stone for hospital themed bars n mobile bars and Mobile charcuterie.

Jared: I’m getting slammed here tonight and it’s only been 3 hours brah.

Ray: Yeah me too and I’m hungry for wings and good beer.
Ramiro: This place sucks! These doctors are ridiculous. A patient tried to punch me and run away. Fuck this bullshit!
Mike: Yeah, where’s the snacks? Let’s do pull ups.
Jerry: Thirsty? Code brew. STAT!

"It was back in those days. Claudius Van Clyde and I stood on the edge of the dancing crowd, each of us already three bottles into one brand of <em>miracle brew</em>, blasted by the music throbbing from the speakers."
