"frequent flyer"? Eh, I'd just take him where he wants to go. Then make a note of it and let the rest of the squad know, NEXT TIME, he goes to the closest ER, and gets some support information for whatever it is that makes him so nuts. Gotta care to do this job, but ya can't let pt's abuse the system forever.
actually if your go to an ER that you know haw many triage rooms they have (say 26) in your report you should make a statement that says something like, "would you like for this pt to go to 't-28'?" This will usually tipoff the nurses that this is a triage patient. BTW people, if you've got a car and nothings wrong with you (like you cut your finger)... GET IN YOUR CAR and DRIVE YOURSELF! Your going to be put in the back of the line anyways.
lol i give my radio report as follows "I have an absoutly triagable pt has been seen in ur facility and other facilitys for same c/c shall we go straight to the waiting room? lol rns love it !
Ditto - Just pulled up on a drunk transient that wanted to be transported because he was cold. We told him to take the bus. Then he said that he was short of breath and began acting it out. Lungs were clear and Pox 100%, Good tidal volume respirations. Then he said that he was now having 10:10 chest pain. He is just an example of the health care system abuse. His record: hospital visits 20 times in 40 days. Who do you think pays for his visits?
i am probraly going to make a remix of this movie soon
