On the local news tonight it was reported that a 2 year child died in the ER waiting room of a large city local area hospital. The parents apparently reporting having been waiting one hour to see a doctor, the hospital disputing this. My question is...
...was it related to a nursing shortage?
Could the death have been prevented?
Was the triage nurse properly trained?
What kind of stress level are the nurses now feeling? And does anyone care?
Certainly not the parents. Why should they. They are mourning the loss of a child.
