You bring up a good point, fuck I should have included it. Sometimes we really really need an open bed in the ICU for a sick patient on the way. We may have to mov  245  e a patient out to the telemetry unit, so we pick the least sick one. This fat cunt could not be moved out, so instead your 85 year old grandma with end stage COPD on bipap gets sent to free up a bed for the train wreck coming from ED. If truly no one can be sent to a less acute floor, we just have to send the incoming people to another hospital, all the while super fat lays in that room, taking up space.
