Oblivious
Had a terminally ill patient rolled in to the clinic via wheelchair by the son and the wife. They waited for 30 mins in the lobby with whole bunch of patients also waiting for their turn. The patient was slouched in the wheelchair and when they were called and put in the room, the med- tech took the vitals and could not get any. Pt was rolled in the clinic deceased!!! Still warm though. I ask the
son when they last saw him took the last breath.. they said when they transferred him to the wheelchair from the car and they just thought nothing was wrong because they had given him pain meds. OMG!!! Sad to say we waited for the coroner for 4 hours coz 911 would not take dead PPl and we had to wait till we get a clearance from the coroner. Patients that knew about the incident and the room where we kept the dead one would not go there for months no matter if they have to wait longer for another room to be available.
