You are wrong on this one. When my facility opened a new ICU down the hall we had a team of dedicated professionals move each patient. There was a doc assigned just to accompany patients on their trip down the hall. In addition there was nursing staff and respiratory therapy involved in every patient move. It was a very labor intensive and costly move.

Now compound that by moving several blocks away. Each patient would require a critical care ground transport team and likely a doc to ride along. Not an easy or inexpensive task.

Well, it’s being done, I guess. Evidently not impossible or impractical.
