We do bedside registration, so sometimes things happen between the time a patient arrives in the room and the time registration arrives. In this case, the woman came in alive and coded/pronounced within about 30 minutes. Our registrar walks in, takes the ID and insurance info from the family, and then comes back. She says “Can one of you sign? Your mom doesn’t look like she’s feeling well enough right now.” After someone signs, she says “Ok, Ma’am, feel better!”
