Re: Docs to Shooting Victim: Come Back Monday

Side point:

Daily Mail wrote: "...felt a burning pain in his neck. Severely wounded, he managed to stumble a block..."

but... "... doctors discharged Acevedo just two hours later and instructed him get the bullet removed at a clinic affiliated with the hospital on Monday."

So he wasn't "severely wounded." Scared maybe, but not severely wounded. Can you say "sensationalism?"

Break-break

DrJoker is spot-on. The docs at the hospital actually doubled the workload. The guy has already been checked on once with all the administrative processing that goes with that, plus having his vitals taken, medical history, and other patient assessment stuff. When he checks in Monday, most of this will (or should be) done again to do the administrivia and spin up the medical staff treating him. $$$$$
