If you want to be angry at someone please go after the government department that introduced 'Observation'. These 'Observation' cases are people that don't meet 'Admission' criteria but the attending physician doesn't feel it's safe to send them home. Be angry w those who developed 'admission criteria'. Be angry with those who took the physician's decision-making powers away. You know, the suits that sit behind a desk and haven't a clue.
Cool down Kiddo. Your response wins the angry test, not the commenter who attempted to help. A reminder that we are responsible for healthcare decisions down here is appreciated.
