Accreditation brings about the paranoia in everyone. Hidden psychiatric disorders are unearthed as people try to please the gods aka accreditors/inspectors in an attempt to show they live in accordance to their rules and set standards. I remember how my grade school and high school alma mater had put so much pressure in everyone - from janitors, student body and the administrators during the time of ISO accreditation (and re-accreditation). Like a traumatic experience being buried to the subconscious, I hardly could recall the nitty-gritty details of those days but I remember how I hated it - HATED THE PHONINESS that surrounded it. I thought I wouldn’t experience those days again but hell I was wrong.

Today, everyone in the hospital is on their toes, anxiety-ridden and with fingers-crossed that they won’t encounter the gods of JCIA accreditation. Everyone is out putting their best feet forward to please them. It’s funny how things around me now aren’t what they used to be. Areas which were normally untidy are squeaky clean. There are no busted lights around and suddenly everything is working in perfect order. I bet if there’s a need for cattle supplies, it’s gonna be available in a snap of a finger.  No, at this time, you can’t make any mistake… at  least for the next few days until this hell of a JCIA week is over.

Poor Psych rotators. Looks like we’ll be getting more Psychiatric referral soon.
