Pager
A pager is that annoying f**king piece of crap that health care providers carry in order to be contacted in the most annoying, anachronistic form.
Carrying the Pager
Where one places a pager on their body is a reflection of that person's mood. If the pager is found on a patient's belt or white coat, then that person either is in a good mood or simply forgot to put the pager in a better place, such as at home or on a random hospital drawer. For that reason, it is rare to spot a pager on a sane health care provider.
Anatomy of a Pager
A pager is made out of misery and cockroach shells. See Figure 19 for more details.
Special Edition Pagers
This past Fourth of July, health care systems rolled out special edition pagers that played patriotic songs such as the "Star-Spangled Banner" or "Born in the U.S.A.."[1]
