Second, your revised version is much more reasonable and believable. Perhaps the billing clerk was, well, less than competent, and the triage line may have been "corrupted" by people sitting and moving away

Third, you state I seem to "know a lot" even though I wasn't there. That's because I've managed enough ERs and hospital staff, worked as a physician in enough ERs for the last 40 years that I have a pretty good idea of the spectrum of what is and is not likely. BTW, I am hardly "omnipotent", nor am I a "spokesperson for the group", I simply "callz them as I seez" them, like everybody else on this forum.

And lastly, my comment to GG about your OP addressed the FACTS you put forth in your first post. I don't see where I launched any kind of personal attack on you. Can you say the same?????

You sir are correct, you did not, and I apologize for mine.
