I thought it would be a nice idea to write down the experiences of a night moonlighting in the prison.
7:50 pm I just left Journal Club at Liz Westby's house and am making my way down the east side of town to the FMC
8:00 pm A little worried I'm late, I walk into the 'Sallyport'-the gate at the prison. The PA is waiting for me for handoff, but she says I'm not late, just on-time. Nothing to pass on. They had sent a guy to St. Mary's an hour earlier for a GI bleed.
8:10 pm I've gone through all the security stuff and I'm at the nurses station. Nothing to pass on.
8:15 pm On the second floor of building 9 at the nurses station there is a place to sign in and check for physical exams to do. There can be up to 3, but luckily tonight there's only 1.
8:30 pm There's a computer on the first floor of building 9 with Mayo access. I'm working on my notes and billing from today while I wait to do the physical.
9:15 pm The inmate has been brought up to the exam room for the exam. Pretty straightforward and takes about 20 minutes. Usually done on the computer, but my access to the prison system wasn't set up yet.
9:45 pm I'm back on the Mayo computer finishing up my stuff.
10:45 pm I figured I might as well go up to the sleep room to get some rest.
5:30 am No calls or issues overnight. I get my stuff together to go.
6:00 am I signed out at the 2 logs on the second and first floors of building 9.
6:15 am Driving home... I just made $500 for a 20-minute physical!
