Apparently, Not Everyone Hates Needles?
HOSPITAL, LIARS/SCAMMERS, NON-DIALOGUE, USA, WEST VIRGINIA | HEALTHY | SEPTEMBER 1, 2020
My coworker is working registration in the emergency department. A visitor for a patient comes in, and after my coworker checks with the nurse, she tells the gentleman to have a seat in the waiting room and she will get her as soon as he can go back.
Shortly after, a nurse comes out calling the names of a few patients ready to be seen.
She is busy helping a new patient check in when she believes she sees the gentleman sneak in with the group of patients.
She is busy and doesn’t have time to stop him and she figures staff will end up sending him back out.
After a few minutes, she has everyone checked in and a patient comes out of the waiting room enquiring how long until he can go back.
Once he tells her the name, she instantly recognizes it as one the nurse had just called. She looks up the name, and sure enough, it’s showing him roomed in the ED.
She quickly calls the nurse who is about to put an IV in the visitor’s arm.
Unlike sneaking to visit a patient like my coworker expected this guy would do, instead, he followed the nurse to the room pretending to be someone else.
I don’t know how he faked his way that far since all nurses ask for name and birthday confirmation before they do anything.
Security removed him quickly after they realized what was going on.
