Got a 2am call out last night.
Called the account to give them an ETA and get info on what was required, they needed a bariatric bed for a 300 +lb patient, when I asked how long the patient had been there they said about 2 days already, ok another 6 hours on the bed she's on wont hurt her then I'll see ya around 8am. I dont think that was the answer they wanted.
At first my boss was a little pissy until I reminded him we rent by the day not the hour and how much he pays me per hour for call outs, he changed his tune after that.
