By Russell D. Hoffman. It was the last job before I became a computer programmer. It lasted a few months, till I got my first computer job at a bank.
Medical records are the life history of the sick, the unfortunate, the desperate.
The night shift basically had just three jobs. Our primary job was to pull records when the ER called for them. And Fridays and Saturday nights, that could be just about all you did. The second job was to refile records that had been returned to the records room. This was usually handled by the day shift, so a lot of nights there weren't any to be filed, or very few, or there was a note telling us not to do it that night for some reason.
