Roughly 20% of medical personnel vanish per year in a '''call room'''. The linens were last changed in 1985 and won't be changed any time soon as it would disturb the habitat of bed bugs and lice.

Due to the lack of windows in a call room, it is always wise to pack a [[Earwax|candle]] and some matches. '''Recent Events'''----#In the spring of 2014, the new 25-Hour Energy drink was released for use by health care professionals and slowly but surely '''call rooms''' are being converted into work rooms given that sleep is now obsolete.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2014/03/energy-drink/ New Energy Drink, 25-Hour Energy, Marketed to Physicians, Allows Hospitals to Convert On-Call Rooms into Work Rooms]</ref> '''References'''----<references />
