Iastly, this is juicy - tell us what ends up happening.

Just had to say "juicy," didn't you?

I would simply tell them that they need to change the sheets! otherwise who cares?

Ditto! While I certainly do not agree with or condone someone cheating on their spouse, especially if there are children involved, it certainly is NOT within the providence of outsiders - even the illustrous PD - to attempt to legislate their own personal interpretation of "moral & ethical behavior". As stated above, whether or not they are "Bumpin Uglies" is none of anyone's business. No one, outside of those 2 & their respective others, knows the whole sotry or their motivations behind all of this. Who knows, they may have an 'open marriage' and then if you go snitch, you look like a dweeb.

However, that said, you certainly have a right to not have to sleep in the 'aftermath' of someone else's tryst - YUCK! So, the adult thing, in my humble opinion, is to take one or both out for a beer & tell them, "Hey, we all know y'all are doing the "Big Nasty" & that is cool. However, for Christ's sake, change the sheets!"

That is how I would deal with it.

2nd choice - tell the Chief. I would NOT bring in any of the "Suits" on this.

I have the perfect answer of what to do. Let the the accused know about this new funny thread on StudentDoctor about two residents humping in the call room... one of them married... the filthy pigs never change the sheets... everyone in the program is jealous that they aren't getting call room action...

If they read this posting and all the comments, I bet they'll figure out who it's about! Give it a try.

By the way, could you tell us which program this is... I may want to switch if any spots open up...

CCF wearing you down already?

Let me tell you that the PGY-1 year at Cleveland Clinic is SWEET! Nothing but good times and good fun... No Surgery, 1 month medicine, 4 months call. However there is no Call Room Romanaces going on throughtout the day here, that I know of anyway. So, I'm interested...

Anyone who has ever been here though knows that our call rooms are right in the middle of the area where Attendings' Offices are located, so it would be an even bigger deal if the Chairman couldn't work because of the THUMPING on the wall. You had at least have good form when your Chairman catches you in the act and they're short handed in the ORs to get that last Add-On started. 😱

Real easy way to get them to never screw in the call room. Set up a webcam, then send the clips to all the residents. Once it gets out they'll never do it again. Putting up a sign is also the right thing to do.

start a rumor that due to concerns for substance abuse there were hidden cameras placed in the on-call rooms for the past few weeks and that the footage is being reviewed by a committee.. 🙂

This one just makes me laugh. Could you imagine the guilty partners attempting to find out if this rumor were true?

 

[rufio173]

Don't bring in the suits, talk to them personally or the chief. The "hot" asian chick may be more receptive to advice than the dude so go to her first.

You don't have to take that crap from anyone. What they are doing in there (especially with the trash he leaves in the room) is dis-respectful to all the other people that need to get a little shut eye in that room.

Or... this could be a little more fun. Get a big ole jar of vaseline and remove a little and leave the jar open and in plain site. Then leave a bunch of crumpled towels or TP around the room and in the bed for them to find. See how they like that! 🙂 Of course, this could backfire on you and they may use said jar for more grossness.

This is kind of cool, but still doesn't deal with the wife and kids being taking for a ride. I assume everyone in the world minus people who think adultery is cool probably feel some sense of responsibility to tell the wife. If everyone is so sure about the banging, she needs to know.

You're a female aren't you?

Would I feel it's my responsibility to tell the spouse that she's married to a lowlife cheater? So it's my responsibility to get involved in someone else's marital problems. Jump right in the middle of a coworker's problems at home? Add that to the already full plate of responsibility and issues we juggle as a resident?

No. No effin' way. Not a chance.

Take him aside, tell him to stop leaving baby-batter in the call room?

Yes. That is MY problem.

As sad as the situation may be for the wife (and honestly who really knows what the extent of the problem is, if this is something new or old, if she's already got papers filed, whatever), it's nobody's business to be an adult tattle tale. If you're personal friends (as I think the poster said he/she might be) with the spouse, then you might think about approaching her, but even then, I'd tread lightly. The cheater will get burned in the end. No need to burn yourself in the process.

its not anyoones responsibility... but an anonymous person could secretly make it so the wife knows..

 

[JadaKiss]

BTW...you're a puss.

Yeah, really classy pal. I'm glad you take the high road to not let people know that the call rooms are being used for extracurricular activities, and yet still find the time to lower yourself down to the rest of us "prudes" and throw insults.


Anyway, curiousity got the better of me. Any updates here? I really hope someone let the wife know. Any Loma Linda peeps care to let us know the story?

 

[HannahDH]

Not sure who else to ask about this, as the other residents in my program who know aren't sure what to do either...

We have two residents in our program who have watched way too much Grey's Anatomy and have been using our call rooms to be intimate with each other. Why the call rooms? One of them is married and must have too much "integrity" to use his own place...

Regardless, no one is quite sure what to do to get this to stop. We are tired of having to change all the bedding at 3 a.m. while on call because we aren't sure what may have happened in the bed previously. It is pretty disgusting.

Has anyone else had to deal with this? Should we talk to the program director? And if that doesn't help, who next? The hospital administrator? The ACGME? This needs to stop...

That is disgusting, I'd bring this issue up to the hospital administrator or whoever is in charge.

I know this doesn't exactly relate to the moral issues of this post or answer the question about what you should do, but an interesting thing just happened at the hospital I moonlight in down the road here in Santa Monica, and illustrates what you SHOULDN'T do if you want to keep your job.

A PA and LVN were just fired after being found "necking" in one of the call rooms. All clothes still on (from the grapevine), but hospital administration found it unacceptable. So regardless of they may think about the morals of these two residents or about extramarital affairs, it seems that hospital admin is definitely opposed to anything other than sleep going on in the sleep rooms.

Just something to think about if people get any ideas. I'd hate to lose a job or a residency positition for something stupid like this.

Just my two cents,

EJ

Condom wrapper found in the call room...

Guy bragging to his Ob-Gyn friends that he is "nailing" the hot new Asian intern....

Girl getting left by her fiance. Her friends say it is cause he caught another man in their apartment...


Wife of one of the guy Chris calling the residents asking why he is recieving a lot of private pages from the girl.... (And the wife is so nice. She has brought their little kids out a lot to the barbecues. The people who she called all deferred to others. No one has the heart to tell her that her husband is scum.)

So yeah, pretty sure overall. Not good friends with either of them and haven't confronted either, but a lot of suspect evidence. All I know is that we sign a contract here saying we will adhere to the rules of the Church that runs our hospital...pretty sure those rules might include no sex in the bed that other people have to crawl into at 4 a.m.

Sounds like people are pretty split on this board, just like in our program. I turned to the board because I figured that others may have had to deal with this rather uncomfortable situation before. Not really my busines, but it is affecting resident morale and I do have to sleep in those beds. So stressed out about all of this....I'll probably drop an anonymous note to the Chief Resident. That is what you get for being ambitious and running for Chief. Like they are going to know how to handle it....Oy vei.

BTW. On Call tonight, already grabbed an extra sheet and put it in my bag. Thanks for all the advice.

One of my attending taught me that the call room is valid turf.

The webcam thing is probably not legal and you'll get sued. But if you record it for personal use.....sicko.

How about you just get them some nice Bath and Body Works Vanilla or Coconut Lime and have them move their activity to the shower.

2 people screwing in a call room is none of your business, as long as they are returning their pages. And not leaving a mess... don't you have housekeeping at this hospital?

Can't you get them more adventurous? The roof, empty hospital room, an OR, etc.

I agree. I havent understood this thread from the begining. First never get involved in others marital issues...never. Second even if no one is screwing in there get clean sheets even if you have to get them and make the bed yourself. I mean who wants to sleep on the same dirty sheets from the previous call person. Third if you feel you must do/say something..grow a set and just take them privately aside and say it! I personally dont know anyone who hasnt wanted to take there girlfriend/wife/husband/whatever to the call room. So whats the big deal?
