A member asked:
Why is there so little privacy in emergency room?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time Factors: Sorry you are experiencing this. Many emergency rooms understand this is a problem and attempt to have private rooms, but even our department occasionally uses hall beds. We understand it is a privacy issue- but with overcrowding we would rather treat you in a less private area than leave you in the waiting room.
