So, many of us in EMS/Medical fields know the old standbys; Never say the "Q" word. Full moon efects on psych pts. Tones dropping just as your food gets to the table.
What I'm looking for is a little different. Are there things you do to bring on a good call. Or possibly prevent the bad one. When I worked LTC, we would tie knots in the bedsheets our near death pts had on their bed to postpone it to the next shift. And, recently, it turns out my Super Cool, all black, stealth stethoscope has a tendency to prevent us from having ANY emerg calls whatsoever.
So, post any superstitions/rituals/magic words that are sure to bring or prevent a particular response.
