The hospitals here are all seeing big increases in ED traffic. Our run volume is going up, the EMS agency is going way up. They're at over 7k calls this year already. It's only gonna get worse.

Last 2 times I went to the ER I had to get 15 stitches in my chin and had to do some ungodly things.
Both were admitted quickely and left as soon as I could sign my name releasing me. Might have helped that they were 3 years ago. |

The ER I work is over 50 beds, and we are still loading patients up and down the hallway cause we are so inundated with crap like abdominal pain x 2 years and "my finger feels funny", while chest pains sit in the lobby untreated because the current system allows for it.
Ambulance abuse plays a huge role in it also. |

At my hospital, a ton of people come in complaining of chest pain. After the full negative workup, they then tell us about the small cut or persistent cough. They are abusing the system and end up getting rushed back and we can't ship em out for hours. The guy who actually needs ED care then has to wait for the FSA to clear out. I would imagine this has something to do with it.
People should use quick care more often. ED is for EMERGENCY |

My first impression of this guy is he probably is not awake during normal orifice hours with a Doc, so he went to an ER...maybe he told the staff he had a more serious condition at the nurse's station but they went ahead and put him on the "pay no mind" list....we will get to the patient when we can. Dead men tell no tales. I cannot see anyone really at fault besides the patient, the ER is a place you should not go alone, and if you are alone it should be noted by the staff.

Something tells me that the rash had nothing to do with what killed him. Maybe... maybe not. I wonder if they found any stolen fentanyl patchs on him when they did his autopsy. Until we know a cause of death, it's all just speculation. And as for the "nobody checks on people" thing, that's ludicrous. This article at the NY Post says they called for him to come back several times from 10PM to 2AM (he checked into the ER around 10PM... so that's pretty fast, particularly for a "rash" complaint in an urban trauma center). He was apparently asleep, and didn't answer when they called for him... which isn't the hospital's fault. When you call a patient's name, you don't go through the entire waiting room, and kick every homeless person awake to see if they're "Mr. Jones." A security guard came through at 2AM to roust the homeless people who try to camp out in the hospital (they do it where I work too), and the guy was alive then. Security cameras show him still moving as late as 3:45AM. It was only when they came through at 6AM (again, to roust the homeless people) that they found him deceased. |

I was on Vanco a few years ago and they had to up the dose to the max to get me in the range of effectiveness. At lower doses I was getting chills and sweats. I told the Dr but she dismissed it. About 4 doses into the heavy stuff I was extremely lethargic and broke out in a rash. My wife immediately hauled me to the ER. I was in a "room" within 10 mins.
I'm guessing it has to do with the urgency you express at triage. They did some blood work, gave my an IV of some sort and I went from feeling like I was going to die to about 75% that night. |

Meningitis doesn't usually appear with a rash. The complaints we see with meningitis are headache, fever, stiff neck. An ER can't even diagnose Meningitis until a spinal tap is done, which no triage nurse in America is doing.

Quoted:
Is it more work or less work, for the ER staff, if your patient just dies in the waiting room? More. The administration is going to crawl up their asses with a microscope. It will take months for them to investigate this and settle with the family. An ER in New York City can have 100 people waiting to be seen. There's never enough staff, although there's usually a security guard or an orderly keeping an eye on the waiting area. The problem is that he went there with a condition that wasn't an emergency. That means they triaged him and decided that his rash could wait while they treated people who had difficulty breathing, chest pain, and other life threatening or potentially life threatening conditions. Given the long wait and the overload on the staff, they won't worry about it when the guy with the rash doesn't answer when they call for him. They'll assume he walked out. Then they go back to people who are bleeding or trying to scam opiates out of them. The news story says they checked on him more than once. I don't know about that, since they eventually found him dead. This has happened before, in New York City, so it's something the ER knew to expect. Not from this guy, but from people in general. The article quotes an anonymous hospital worker who says they found him, "...stiff, blue, and cold..." We don't know if this person was the chief of surgery or the SEIU wannabe who mops the floor. The statement is worthless until it is sourced. I hope that they were watching the waiting area and the person suddenly keeled over while they weren't looking, and the family is groping for dollars. It's possible that they're telling the truth, unfortunately. |

And that's how business is SUPPOSED to be done; you treat the most-immediate life-threats first. The drug-seekers, colds-and-sniffles, and drama-queens can sit their butts down and wait, while we deal with the people who are obviously dying. Doing anything less (like catering to the drama-llamas) only encourages their crazy BS. This also goes for the pissed-off, selfish, manipulative, and solipsisitc idiots who call EMS from the hospital waiting room, in an attempt to get seen more quickly by coming in through the ambulance entrance. We have them wheel those people right back out into the waiting room. I can't see the triage nurse missing an obvious and evolving DIC (and the patient should have plenty of constitutional symptoms by that time, not just a "I have a rash, but otherwise I feel great!"). Then again, it's NYC in the middle of the winter... so who knows if the triage nurse actually had the patient take off his clothes so she could look at it. It may be that she simply took his word on the rash, and figured they'd look at it when they called him back. |

What's the other one called, where your entire circulatory system "freezes" solid into one giant clot? Stop shouting, will you? And I'm unaware of such a condition. Nobody's blood just "freezes" into one giant clot. |

Oh, please....we know you Doctor types are just covering up for the government's men in black suits in an effort to protect the Medical/Insurance consortium owned by the Illuminati and Tri-lateral Commission, managed by the Bilderbergers ....and they made a documentary about just that happening.....and it was all the government's fault.... Here it is:

DITTO for KCH (Kings County Hospital in Flatbush, Brooklyn) in the 67. I had a foot post out front of there in the 90's, good times. In 2008 they had surveillance video of some EDP/kook stroking out in the waiting room. See Link link to CNN article and footage Quote HistoryQuoted:

And as for the "nobody checks on people" thing, that's ludicrous. I see you've never been to Woodhull Hospital. DITTO for KCH (Kings County Hospital in Flatbush, Brooklyn) in the 67. I had a foot post out front of there in the 90's, good times. In 2008 they had surveillance video of some EDP/kook stroking out in the waiting room. See Link link to CNN article and footage KCH is wayyyy better than Woodhull especially if you need treatment for a GSW. Brookdale on the other hand....... |

GOVERNMENT OF MADAGASCAR CLOSES AIRPORTS TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INFECTIONS Okay, so it's been a while since I beat Pandemic 2 and got Kongregate's President Madagascar Assassin Badge, but I'll try to answer with what I remember. Be Infectious, but not Deadly You can alter your infectious disease at will. Because infected people never become uninfected, it's a totally valid strategy to infect as many people as possible and then mutate into a 100% mortality rate disease. Be Infectious, but Invisible You do have to be careful however, because even decidedly non-deadly diseases may spark airport / harbor closure, which may make Madagascar the human's best hideout. Don't go for the High Infection, High Visible symptoms, it's counteractive to your goal of INFECTING EVERY PATHETIC HUMAN ON EARTH. Remember - transmissions lead to closures! Be a Virus The benefits of fast mutation far outway the benefits of the other vectors. Start in Madagascar Or Canada, New Zealand, Cuba, Greenland, or West Europe. The point is, since these countries tend to be easiest to close, you may as well start there, to cut out on some headaches later. You can simply remake new games until you get one of these countries. And finally, a TLDR from the Kongregate comments: 1.Pick Virus. 2.Start in Canada, New Zealand, Cuba, Greenland, West Europe, or Madagascar. If you do not get there restart. 3.Sell the starting symptoms, and buy sneezing (unless it is what you started with, just keep it). 4.Buy 1-1-1-0 resistances but no transmissions (they trigger closures). 5.Once four countries are infected, sell sneezing to get rid of visibility. 6.Wait until all countries are infected. If Madagascar closes its shipyards/borders or is not infected in 30 days, restart. 7.Buy all four drug resistances AND sneezing, coughing, and vomiting. 8.After a few days, unlock tiers 2-3, (do not buy tier 4 ever!) keeping whatever symptoms it gives you. 9.Buy fever, fatigue, diarrhoea, pulmonary edema, and hypersensitivity. Then save for kidney failure and ataxia. |

So if I'm reading ARF correctly on this, it's probably better that the hospital didn't get around to him based on his looks? I think that says more about those saying it than anything else. Yup. I think a lot of people are saying that a long term drug addict could easily have died from something other than "a rash". Also, many addicts are frequent flier drug seekers at ER's. It makes some sense to me that the staff would become somewhat skeptical of the severity of their conditions, especially in a very crowded ER. |
