Well, I hate to quosh the speculation, but I looked up what it is today at work. Highlight the following text if you want to know: "Emergency psychiatric assistance needed in response to incident in clinical area."

But you're free to keep guessing...

to my understanding code green si when everyone has to fuck the shit out of each other. so when someone yells "code Green" everyone has to have sex. not just regular but hardcore.

I work at a hospital in Prince Edward Island in Canada, and we use a set of 8 Emergency Colour Codes... here they are (these are North America's Standard Colour Codes, i'm just typing this off a sheet we recieved) Code Red- Fire Code Green- Total Evacuation of the Facility (this is a very rare occurance as most patients would not me ambulatory, also, the hospital is equiped with special equipment to seal off fire areas) Code Black-Bomb Code Yellow- Abduction or Missing Patient Code Orange- External Disaster Code Blue- CPR or Code Blue Team Response..(example: (called over PA system)" Attention Please, Code Blue to resusitation bay in 5 minutes" this would mean that a specialized team of doctors, nurses, lab techs and a respiratory technologist would go to the resusitation bay because a patient who was not breathing or was not breathing and didn't have a pulse was being brought in by ambulance, code blues can be called to any section of the hospital.) Code Grey: Air Exclusion (Noxious Gases) Code Brown: Hazardous Spills (Chemicals) This would be called if a chemotherapy solution was spilled in the cancer treatment wing.
