Patient Transport at The Scarborough Hospital

[@raishonstanley1313]

This will be fist time doing this job soon and this video is helping me a lot on how to do this job

[@Iamreallycoolful11]

if the hospital I worked in had such narrow hallways I think I'd crash my stretchers every day

[@stanleyhoward1893]

The camera just makes it appear that way.

That was my first job out of high school, I enjoyed it because I got to see what different people do in the hospital. I am super glad we didn't have to deal with hospital dirty laundry though, yuck! The transporters in this hospital work their behinds off, wow! The only extra work we did was delivering meds to the floors in the AM from the pharmacy. Anyway it's a good starter job for someone who doesn't quite know what they want to do professionally yet. This hospital needs updating desperately!

[@detech8149]

You didn't need a huge medical degree or previous background though?

[@DrummerGrrrl]

@@detech8149 No, not at all. A kid right out of high school can do it.

[@claudia6015]

I wana apply I’m scared I’ll get in trouble getting lost lol In a big hospital lol

[@iSoleyy]

@@DrummerGrrrl I have an interview later today. I’ve been applying to this position since I was 18 (25 years old now). Hopefully I get it. (Update) I did not get the job for this position, however the day I got the rejection email, I got an email from the hospital I’ve originally been applying for 5 years. I got hired there!

[@Solo407]

Sorry if this is a late question, but is this a decent career for someone single in their 40’s? If it’s a stable full time at least $30k a year, I can survive on that.

[@MinjaHope-ec1yt]

love the Jobe

[@devonabates6184]

I used to transport at hospital for 11 years.

[@bloopy6166]

Was it good?

[@rebeccadebassige6804]

Interesting to see how the job is done differently at different hospitals, crazy! My hospital is so different, yet so the same lol 😂

[@shanoradickerson1059]

seems like a good job... do all patients transporters wear scrubs?

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Yeah.

[@missb6064]

I think I'd get lost in the hospital & not catch on to the layout quick enough

[@TheRealBeep5050]

Christopher Hay seems like such a nice fellow. I think i've seen him featured on the 100 Huntley Street..

[@ReactionBandit87]

Much love to torontos godfather of hip hop Meastro fresh wes.

[@joobebescorner1985]

Do you travel with patient alone or do people go with you?

[@interlude44]

You travel alone .

[@jeanlongno4316]

I like to work in your hospital as a patient transporter im here in phillipines. how to apply ?

[@bettysmith4527]

Jean, you may not have transporters in your country. This is from the USA, but you could call your local hospital and ask.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

The job could be called something other than "transporter".

[@TheBigBadBob10]

If the patient can’t travel by wheelchair, why not just take the bed?

[@adrydungscraper]

Lol good old teletracking. We switched to epic last year... We all have personal iPods that give us our patient info....Teletracking is smarter then epic.... Epic never routes me to the closest patient...Your facility must be small cause I move 40 patients a day easily...

[@femalesneakercollector7201]

Medic Jay mine too, easily. For everything else they did, at my hospital theirs a person to do that, like the linen,mail, code carts.

[@VictorKidd53]

Yeah, we use teletracking and we have iPods too. Working transport night shift is fun, and yes, a challenging job.... Most of myjobs are cat scans and er

[@lol_forgiven]

We use all scripts :(

[@VictorKidd53]

Crazy477 what the heck are scrips?

[@lol_forgiven]

thats the name of the program we use. "All scripts patient flow"

[@icestarr1572]

. Do Transporters transport dead bodies ?

[@detech8149]

good question never thought of that.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I never did. However, I did have to take a maggot-filled amputated lower leg to some lab downstairs from the o.r. It was so nasty! It stank even though it was wrapped tightly in three heavy plastic biowaste bags. At lunch time, too!

[@PRETTYTHUGSTYLE]

NowI'mMe Super Cool!!!!lol

[@Badest187]

Yes I do

[@mislas1321]

Security usually does that

[@Ghostbusternyc]

How is a porter allowed to stock the crash cart?

[@bettysmith4527]

I know, I was like what? I am sure a medical professional looks it over before it is resealed! I hope so anyway, Jeepers!

[@Idellle]

Here in Finland a lot of Africans do this kind of work

[@jamierobinson6540]

Those are clearly not Africans
