Today’s POTD is going to be about where to find certain locations in the hospital. Some of these places might not be as relevant most of the time but it’s helpful to know on the very busy days to expedite patient care or inpatient rotations. It’s also helpful to know where the clinics we send our patients to most often are (like dental and ophtho) so that we can give proper instructions for follow-up. I know there’s no map to help orient yourself but hopefully it’s a little helpful. :)
Dental Clinic - 4802 10th avenue, 2nd floor
The same building as our conferences, also on the 2nd floor but just past Schrieber auditorium
Ophtho clinic 902 49th street
On 9th ave at the corner of 49th street
Blood bank - 4802 10th avenue, 3rd floor → Once you exit the stairs, make a left at the end of the hallway
The same building that we have conference, on the 3rd floor; easiest way to access it is by going outside the hospital (even though there is a way of going through the hospital but can be confusing / takes longer)
This is helpful for off-service rotations where they need emergent blood transported and sometimes no one else is available
Lab - 4th floor → use elevators between resident’s lounge and kitchen
this one is mostly really important to drop off CSF studies so that there’s no delay in processing
Go through this door, down the corridor
Ultrasound - 3rd floor → use elevators (set of 4) near resident’s lounge
Operating room - 4th floor → use elevators that are just past KRB
Gives an idea of where to go for the anesthesia rotation
MICU - 7th floor
Use the elevators past KRB
SICU - 8th floor
Use the elevators past KRB
PICU - 6th floor
Use the elevators between the resident’s lounge and kitchen
CCU - 2nd floor
Use the elevators between the resident’s lounge and kitchen
