Repair craft and shop life
The Shop Floor
The Shop Floor writes from the bench outward: symptom first, theory second, and the joke that only people who have opened a pump will get. It covers the craft and the habits behind it.
The beat: The daily work of keeping hospital equipment running: troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, work orders, the parts hunt, the on-call phone and the humor that gets a shop through the week.
