I’m just grateful for a job right now as so many others don’t have one
We are salaried. Our volumes are way down. The real work will occur come June when we try to ramp up and recoup all the volume we’ve lost. It will be crazy then. I sat in a meeting today to try to figure out how to overcome all the bottlenecks that will inevitably come up:

1. Unionized RNs/techs
2. Surgeons’ schedules
3. Supplies, both disposable and maxing out the capacity of the sterile processing department
4. Bed space in the hospital to accommodate the increased volume

For instance, the CT surgeons will be behind somewhere between 100-150 cases. Trying to make up that deficit already doing around 5 cases a day will be tough. That’s a lot of to-follow CT cases and late nights.
