There are the same scenes of EMS bringing the patients in on their stretchers and giving their short concise reports to the awaiting doctors, who help move the patients over to the ED beds. One EMS crew is scolded for not recognizing their drug seeking patient is in a serious sickle cell crisis. Thanks for doing this in the show.
