Had an alcoholic lady pound on the back door of the Imaging Center building on our hospital campus today, demanding care…I wanted to say, I’m sorry maam, but I’m a radiologist and the one nurse and almost everyone in registration and most of all the imaging techs are out of the building for the night and there are no real doctors here anytime anyhow 🤣…But as it’s technically hospital property and she is demanding care, evaluation must be offered, by law and by ethics of the profession…as the back door to the wrong building isn’t a place of care, I had security offer her a ride to the front door of the emergency department to which she declined and wandered off, saying it takes too long in the ED.
Earlier in the day she was demanding care from the staff at the pre-k daycare on campus…before she wandered off, she said “well, I guess sobriety isn’t for me.”
