if you re a five you re going to get seen last. if you call the ambulance for a stubbed pinky toe we re not going to put you in the front of the line. save the ambulance for emergencies. we ll send you to the waiting room even if you do call the ambulance. what about we can only do so much? what does that mean? i see this all the time where i work because we don t treat children or we don t take care of babies. , specialize in babies. you need to know what your hospital specializes in so you know where to go in case of emergency. we don t believe you; explain. i see a lot of patients whose symptoms don t quite match up to their actions in the exam room. for example, if you tell me you re nauseous and you re eating a slice of pizza from the cafeteria, i don t necessarily believe that you re nauseous. i believe you want a work note is what i believe.
