Is a temp patch used to tell temperature? How do they remove a temp patch? Is it positioned underskin level? I thought they were like bandaids.

I can't imagine a stroke patient being denied intravenous blood thinners immediately. I can understand a dislocated shoulder being behind a breathing emergency and if there are too many not life threatening cases there, sadly they have to wait. That is what triage is for.

BUT..............This is all very troubling.
