      You don’t operate the Bagger 288, it contains an artificial mind. This mind is full of hatred; violence is its sole vocation

    There’s other safety oriented tasks with the same attention required. I wouldn’t pass meds on ativan or oxy, and would be pretty cautious with most other sedating medications. Weirdly I also don’t pass meds without strattera. Weirder I think flight attendants are in the same boat (plane?) where a lot of people see it as a customer service role and don’t realize how safety oriented the job is. Then people start some bullshit in a crowded aluminum tube with no safe exits and get surprised when they get duct taped to a chair.

        So most hospitals have a time, usually depending on when they change shifts, that most meds are scheduled around. And the whole process is much more complicated than I think most people realize. The omnicell can make sure you pull the right drug/form/strength and it can tell you how many to take out but it can’t take the patient’s blood pressure before you give them the metoprolol or fingerstick before you give their insulin and it can’t check for dangerous side effects before or after the dose or make sure the blood level is taken and sent down to the lab at the right time relative to the administration of the med they’re measuring (the omnicell can’t even verify that took the right amount of pills out of the pocket). And you’re doing that for six patients at a time. So (usually) my job doesn’t require fast reflexes, but it does require pretty intense focus.

          I love how you managed to paint an even more confusing image.

          For instance, based on what you’ve written with NO additional context, “the omnicell” must clearly be a terrifying large robotic overlord the size of a room that demands the world of you.

    My mind goes to this, but I don’t need medication for me to be unsafe operating any machinery other/heavier than a simple car.

    Mine goes to bucket excavator.

    I don’t consider forklift to be heavy machinery, at least not the little pallet ones. The seacan ones, absolutely.

    It says don’t drive or operate heavy machinery, the additional clarification is precisely because people will think “well a forklift isn’t a car”
