Head of Steam
- Outside of the hospital, someone with a head of steam (or full head of steam) has gained momentum
- A health care professional with a head of steam is on some sort of roll, either discharging patients at will or blocking admissions like a true wall
- Like a volcano about to erupt, a patient with a head of steam is a red flag and might progress to full-on having their mind blown, which is a neurosurgical emergency
