 I worked an 8 hour shift today! Sadly, there were two people that came in for a Cardiac Arrest about two hours apart. However, the one family in particular put up a major fight with us. They would not remain calm, and were trying to get into the back by the ambulances. We had to take control of the situation by removing them from the main entrance, and bringing them to the waiting room before we got the 'Okay' to send them into the back. The reason we cannot send frantic visitors into the back for a Cardiac arrest is because they will not help the situation present with their own emotions running wild. It's not an easy place to be in sometimes, because you're like the middle man between two family member - one very sick and the other nervous and anxious.
