Welcome

In my hospital the ED is divided into 4 parts. The triage area has a couple of rooms where we treat the most simple complaints such as ear infections and ingrown toenails- really anything that does not require any tests and certainly shouldn't be in the ED. Pod C is basically the same as the triage rooms, with the exception that we will run a test or two on these patients, such as a person with a broken toe. Pod B is most of the patients that will probably be admitted, kids with appendicitis, old men with pneumonia. Pod A is my section. Pod A is the traumas. The child births. The codes.

Pod A is why I became an Emergency Physician, many moons ago.
