Patients are anxious to be treated, but staff must nonetheless often resolve non-medical problems. There are therefore more conflicts within the ER than within any other hospital department. At CGMH a doctor was recently beaten so severely by a drunk patient that cerebrospinal fluid flowed out from his nose.
在分秒必爭的急診室裡，醫護人員忙得死去活來，病人浮躁不安，還有各種非醫療的問題須要處理，急診室的糾紛難免比其他科多，長庚醫院前陣子才有一位急診醫師被酒醉的病人打得腦髓液從鼻子流出來。
