I work at a large hospital – not everyone leaves here above room temperature, fact of life. So they have ways to get the deceased out of the place with minimal fuss. Special entrance and hallways that stuff. One of the local undertakers must have a new guy driving today. He parks the frigging hurst at the main patient drop off, then wheels the deceased in a bag on a gurney through the main lobby! They’re supposed to put a blanket over the body but I guess this rocket scientist forgot that. I’m guessing it might be the guys first and last day.

A hearse is a funerary vehicle used to carry a coffin from a church or funeral home to a cemetery. In the funeral trade, hearses are often called funeral coaches.

A hearse is a funerary vehicle. Hurst is company making (mostly) transmission shifters. |

The ICU I work in doesn't have a special hallway. I wish it did. They take the lesser used of the entrances but it's still used.
But no one's ever forgotten the velvet drape before. If someone did, I imagine that would be a big issue here. Lots of suits would get all worked up. |

Agreed this guy probably isn't one of the brighter bulbs though.
Stupid mistake, but it is kinda funny (in a gallows humor sort of way)- I laughed anyways. |

I guess the paperwork part was just fine - according to co-workers here first tip off to the morgue should have been when he didn't drape - I guess 'back in the day' security came with to get the body out to the vehicle but there is disagreement on if they still do that now |

The hospital where I worked had a service elevator for taking bodies to the morgue.
The morgue was located on the second basement level. The nuns would clear the wards of people if they were wheeling a body out. At no time did bodies go out into "public" areas. The loading dock for the bodies was located on the side of the hospital away from the main parking lot. |

It's not like it was a frozen stiff naked for all the world to see. Even the OP said that SOP was a simple blanket over the body bag. It sucks, but I happens. No need to waste hospital admin's time complaining about it. Laughing is better than death. Try it. Also, get used to it. Obamacare will make hospitals look like the DMV. You'll have dead people next to you in waiting rooms stacked up like cordwood |
