A member asked:
If a younger person arrives in an ambulance by themselves to an emergency room and among their medical complaints they are experiencing symptoms of amnesia, like they cant remember anything from their past, will the hospital end up admitting them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least observe them for 1 day or 2 until a safe discharge plan is in place and work up completed with life threatening conditions being ruled out.
