Examining interactions between biomeds and caregivers

Quality healthcare delivery is a team effort requiring trust, mutual respect and a little professional courtesy when stress levels are high and equipment problems arise. Trust and professional respect are best established through other means like committees or special projects done together rather than the heat of a crisis, yet bonds created during difficulties are some of the strongest. Biomedical technicians equipped with an attitude of patience and humility can contribute to a positive learning experience when the problem lies with the equipment operator.
