Worked in an ER for 8 years...this is a terrible tip

They definitely do not always have open beds. I've seen, on a regular basis, ambulance patients on a bed waiting in the hall way, as well as treating patients with actual care in the hallway(that requires no beds but good staffing, usually done when the bulk of ER beds are filled with inpatients waiting for beds upstairs)
