Standard procedure after XX victims, part of the emergency plan.
Some stop receiving patients after very few (4-5) emergencies, as hard to believe as that may seem.
Idea is to re-route them where they can really be taken care of without overwhelming the staff.

Makes me wonder what would happen in a more serious tragedy numberswise if they route people after only 4-5 victims.

It makes sense though to give them the best attention possible. I’d sure want that for my family.

Thanks for the info.

I'm sure they are being taken to a trauma center.

There are very specific procedures followed by hospitals in case of massive casualites..........especially since 9/11.

The victims will get better care by being taken to an appropriately equipped medical center.
