Emergency Nurse Called 911 "Drowning" in Patients

"What's a nurse to do when the emergency department (ED) itself is the emergency? In Silverdale, Washington, a member of the overwhelmed ED staff at St. Michael Medical Center, called in the fire department.

According to Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue, a nurse called 911 through an admin line last Saturday around 10:30 p.m., asking for help. The chief, Jay Christian, told the Kitsap Sun, "The charge nurse expressed two times that they feel like they're drowning because they had over 45 patients in the waiting room and only five nurses. She said, 'We're in dire straits, we need the fire department help, can somebody come up here and help us?'"
