I'm not sure I want to know what code brown means.

I should have written down the codes posted by the nurses' desk when I was going to Sharp Memorial and Kaiser Zion for my brothers' treatment.

Ok let me see. We have these on the back of our key card for Grossmont.

Code Blue is pt in CPR
Code Green is a Psych Pt
Code Red is Fire
Code Pink I believe is Infant CPR
Code Adam I think is Child Abduction

I'll check our card when I go back to work on Fri.
