I assume you are in some IT or software role? Yes. what is it that they actually trust you to do around patients? It varies from year to year, but is always interacting directly with them. I've been hugged, cried on, held people's babies while they (the parents) vomited in the hallways, had people rant at me in languages I don't understand. All kinds of human activity. How do the "real" healthcare workers treat you? They pretty much ignore me. I expect on some level, they're happy to have someone picking up the details so they can do other things, but for the most part they seem far too busy to even notice that I'm there.
