When arriving first to a code 1) identify yourself (I'm the intern on the code team) 2) assign someone to check pulse/do compressions 3) assign someone to attach the defib leads. This will buy you enough time to either think about what comes next, or until your resident arrives. My intern year I figured this out.

That is very scary. At what point do they teach you how to respond to a code? I am a fourth year medical student - do they teach you that when you get certified in advanced life support? peanut Geeze. That is very scary.

It was late at night and the internal med team was supposed to take the calls since our surgery residents have home call. Apparently the resident was in the library, headphones on, sleeping. He almost got fired in front of everybody the next morning. Bad, bad, bad. I’ve been seen a code where no doctors responded.

Seriously though, why wasn't more care taken to ensure there wasn't a spinal injury? Just because he walked away doesn't mean he's not going to have some issue a bit later. Ouch is right! Damn!
