Parking conditions/hospitals

[critter crazy]

I have never had any problems with parking near an ER entrance. I only problem I see with most of our hospitals, is that there just isnt enough parking spaces.

the hospital group i work for here has 3 hospitals. in all of them, there is a patient drop off right in front of the emergency dept doors, not the trauma bay where the ambulances are. you pull up, and someone is out there within seconds, often a security guy followed by a nurse aid with a wheelchair. the patient goes in, and the driver goes to park, and not all that far away, in a designated lot with a special paper for the dashboard. to pick up a patient, you go to a smaller side door, very near the er, a security/volunteer is there to bring back the wheelchair,you load and go. competing chains have
a similar set up.
randi, how is your friend doing and what did they do with the dogs while she was at the hospital, and thank goodness she brought her cellphone

It certainly seems that parking conditions in USA are a lot better than in England! Good grief - I'm appalled! They must have picked the worst hospital in London! And telling that she needs the plaster changed in 5 days and then..... "We don't have time to do it before in 2 weeks!"

Well, at least, my friend is doing reasonable, she got a laptop last week, so that will keep her occupied without having to move around. But it's not so good that the bedroom and bathroom is upstairs, she has to climb a steep narrow staircase.

Joycenalex, they took the dogs home before they went to the hospital.
