only 43,000 patient visits per year? - dogbert183 Sep 15, 16:02 6
- It's a big island with small towns and one city. - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 16:06 5
  - the estimated population of vancouver island is about 740,000 -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:07 4
    - (Which is, what, 1/15th that of Los Angeles? :)) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:12 3
      - But more than Seattle (582,174). -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 16:20 2
        
        but the surface area is 32,000 square kilometers, so ... the scale and density is a bit different :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:21 1
        
        I said it was a big island. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 16:30
(The colour coordinated baby drawers don't make a lot of sense to me - maybe it just takes a bit to learn :)) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:00 4
- they're actually great. peds meds and supplies are based on height (which gives a great approximate weight) you measure the kid with a broselow tape, - dogbert183 Sep 15, 16:05 3
  - I also found the labels on the drawers amusing ... but I guess they are not redundant to the colourblind. Why they aren't also labelled with weight is - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:06 2
    - most of them are, but that is a pediatric crash cart and the tape will be better at estimating weight better than just guessing during a crisis -- (link) - dogbert183 Sep 15, 16:10 1
      - ah, I see. Thanks :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:11
