So does this mean that the hospital is simply choosing to decline “police escourted” patients, or is the ER, or even entire hospital closing closing completely?
If they give up their trauma status the patients will automatically be directed to another Trauma center.
I worked in a non trauma hospital. Every once in a while a gunshot victim would be rolled out of their car in front of us. The ED staff could help them, but we transferred them pretty darned fast.
