A typical day started with picking up various types of medical equipment that was marked as non-working from different floors in hospital. Returning the equipment to clinical-engineering shop and began to work on equipment. Upon arrival to shop the lead b-met would determine who was to work on equipment and who was to perform preventive maintenance – more...  on equipment throughout the hospital. We worked through to lunch with a break at or around 9:00 am. Lunch period was one half hour and we got right back to work. The scheduled afternoon break was at 2:00 pm and the day ended at 3:30pm it was a busy schedule and very informative and educational with a good amount of hands-on repair. This was a very excellent opportunity to learn from some of the very best b-mets. I loved the experience. The hardest part of the job was getting frustrated because you have tried several things and still no luck. Consistancy to be able to troubleshoot whats wrong then step by step finding the problem, the feeling is awesome when you fix any piece of equipment. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to be serious yet flexible enough to laugh when the sirtuation warranted it. This experience was the very best it could have been, all the b-mets were great and the head clinical engineer was the very best helpful yet stern enough to get results. – less
