How common is it in your ER to put a totally NON-EMERGENT ambulance pt in the waiting room?
I've read lots of posts and c/o about putting bogus amb pts in rooms, why not send them to the waiting room???
Is there some sort of law against doing this? Of course, I mean only the obvious BS ones, like FFs with chronic back pain, stubbed toe, toothaches, etc. I've only seen it done a couple of times, so is it more common in big cities with bigger ERs?
