Source “Unfortunately, overcrowded and understaffed emergency rooms are a growing problem in American hospitals. While overcrowding in the ER can lead to any number of bad outcomes, when a medical professional misses the signs of someone having a stroke it can be deadly.
According to a Reuters report, “Patients are more likely to be misdiagnosed or experience treatment delays when emergency rooms are so crowded that they receive care in a hallway…” In a survey of 440 emergency room doctors, more than 75 percent said they performed an “abbreviated medical history” on a patient when they were forced to treat a patient in the hallway.
These types of shortcuts can cause doctors to miss the important warning signs of a stroke. According to one doctor cited in the Reuters report, “Past work has found that patients treated in overcrowded emergency departments often have delays in medical care and increased risk of medical errors.”
When time is of the essence for stroke patients, any inexcusable delays can mean the difference between life and death.
