Reactions trail man's experience at hospital

"You brought her ID? Why? I have taken people on emergency to hospital and has never gone with their ID nor thought of going with an ID because it has never been asked of me. Why did you go with an ID if they never asked for an ID. Another question, did they commence the treatment before you filled the forms, during or after filling the forms?"

"It depends on what the both of you count as "delay". To Morris, it could mean attending to the person after 20 minutes of no action. To you, it could mean attending to a victim after 1 hour of no action. To others, delay could happen after not attending to a patient immediately."

"Someone that is in emergency situation don't need to submit ID before receiving treatment, if the hospital feels that something is off or in case of gun shot wounds, they should report to the police discretely."
