I once had a psych transfer that took 4 hours... didn't even make it out of the hospital door, went from the psych area to the ER.


Damn broken arm.

We have one like that also. It's right across the street from the hospital. But the transport totals .6 miles because the hospital is soo big. The road from the hospital to the main street is .5 miles.

In their mind, if insurance is paying....you know, they might be able to pocket more money if called a party bus. Prices for those things can be up to 5 figures for a night; i bet no one would notice if a few thousand went missing. hmm.......:rofl:
 
Adolescent psych facility (half hour from station) to the ER across the street. .1 mile. Then we end up playing musical stretchers for a couple hours because the ED is under construction and has a shortage of beds. Yay.

I set down my pen. It's a really nice pen. I don't want to ruin it. I have had to protect it from several nurse thiefs. As in I've tracked them down and went "Dude you have my pen!"

Actually, it's more likely just a decrease in back pressure against the vessels in the abdomen which explains how you can drop someone's intracranial pressure by performing a decompressive laparotomy.
