EMERGENCY ROOM TRAUMA CENTERS
Up to 50,000 patients a year may be released from hospital emergency rooms
and sent home even though they may have had heart attacks which were too mild to
even detect with the current technology being used in many emergency rooms'
intensive care units!
Furthermore, many trauma centers may not even have insurance coverage for
the emergency care patients they treat even though the trauma center IS
responsible for the care of all critical care patients treated in the emergency
room!
