Those suffering from acute physical or mental health emergencies, who are unstable, or who have life-threatening illnesses or injuries are immediately placed in the appropriate treatment unit -- Adult Emergent Care for patients older than 21 or Pediatric Emergent Care for patients younger than 21. There, multidisciplinary teams conduct emergency evaluations, and perform the necessary resuscitation, stabilization, treatment, and/or post-resuscitation critical care. Patients who come to the Emergency Department with less critical medical conditions are evaluated and prioritized by emergency care nurses. Patients are monitored until they are seen by a physician, who treats them and determines an appropriate plan of care. All care is delivered under the supervision of an attending physician. http://www.dukehealth.org/Services/Emergency/Programs/EmergencyMedicineAndTraumaCenter I would think a violent rape and beating by three to twenty men would at least indicate some "mental health issues" that might upgrade one from laying out in the hall.
