Hi Johan,
ReplyDeleteI agree with the article stating that most nurses, in-turn hospitals, are not prepared for a catastrophic tragedy. I have seen this first hand, on a much smaller scale, in my line of work. When more than a handful of patients are brought into the ER, the standard protocol goes out of the window and the staff begin to get disheveled and are not able to properly handle the situation. Hopefully, since this is a known problem, the healthcare industry will address the issue.
