When you're "on call" in the hospital, there is a room (or a set of rooms) that are designated for the on call house staff to sleep (if by some miracle you actually get a chance to sleep). These call rooms are gross because (a) most surfaces in the hospital are gross, (b) the arrangements are shared rotating between whoever else is on call (or finds your call room first), (c) they are cleaned, theoretically, sometime during the day, when no one is around to witness this event.
Tonight, by some miracle, two other interns and I found ourselves done with most of our work and ready to retreat to our call rooms by midnight! We were almost happy, but then we remembered-
"My call room is so cold..." - Intern A
"Yeah, my call room is really cold too!" - Intern B
"My call room is freezing! AND somebody already slept in it!!!" - Intern C
