Code Three 

Code 3 are a series of hospital codes that basically mean “other specified emergency.” The exact codes vary by hospital but they most commonly include:

- anesthesia: surgery fuck up
- IV therapy: emergency meds needed
- stroke activation team: self explanatory

- blood bank: self explanatory

- EKG: cardiac arrhythmia emergency

- echo: other cardiac emergency

- laboratory: emergency diagnostics
- House nurse: CPR team on standby
- Star: severe injury acquired in the hospital
Me : *going into surgery* “Damn I’m real nervous.”

Nurse: “well don’t be, surgical mistakes are almost unheard of in this hospital.”

Intercom: “code three, anesthesia.”

Me: “well fuck.”
