Just a quick note as your shift starts:
Near the beginning of my shift we admitted a 16-year-old mother, Rachel Banks. She’s in her tenth hour of labor now. Her parents have been with her, and they have chosen to limit the amount of medication and other medical assistance we’ve administered for personal reasons. Given the length of her labor, however, her situation could worsen. Keep a close eye on her. I’m not sure her parents understand how dangerous her situation could get.

Staffing Adjustment
Greetings:
Due to recent financial shortfalls, we’ve had to cut back on staff in your department. This readjustment of personnel will reduce the number of on-call physicians available during your shift. We have confidence that our exemplary nursing staff, under your capable leadership, can adjust to this restructuring with a minimum of difficulty.
