Re: Writing questions!

[(Anonymous)]

To anyone who's ever worked in an ER (or regularly hears stories from those who have), does it actually happen that a car will drive up, put someone who's injured out on the sidewalk, and drive off? How common is it? Like, say, once a month, or once every six months, etc.

Almost never. More likely in a big city. To be fair, most people in ERs would not notice. There is usually a entrance.

Depends a couple of things: 1. How large the city is. 2. Degree of injury (there are people who get dropped off by friends all the time if they have a relatively minor injury). 3. Layout of the ER lobby.

A good layout will have the doors exactly opposite the triage station so that whoever is on duty can see someone approaching the door and assist if necessary. This is not the case in all instances. In a few hospitals I've known - or have had friends work in - there are definitely shady drop offs since there is no one watching the door.

Definitely dependent on layout. Might also depend on who's watching the door. Nobody seemed to give a hot shit when I came in on crutches desperately searching for a wheelchair when I had to visit my dad shortly after his fall.

Our ER entrance is kind of a shit layout. :/

There's the doors leading outside which dump into a hallway that leads to the rest of the hospital straight ahead, the ER to the right, and elevators to the left, and there's no one that sits between the outdoor entrance and the actual ER entrance to assist or anything.

Can't say I've ever seen someone do that at our ER (in nine years here), gossip travels hella fast in a hospital, so I'm sure I would have heard about it if someone just dumped someone off.

We do have a sort of 'drop off' area outside the ER entrance though, but that's usually so people don't have to make the sick/injured person walk from the parking lot. I've never seen or heard of anyone dropping someone off and leaving them unwillingly/unknowingly though.

I worked in an ER for a little over a year, and I never saw that happen. I work in a larger city as well. It probably does happen, but not very often.
