Will they be able to treat the massive hemorrhage of money this thing will create?

It really is a damn shame that there is no longer a hospital nearby for that part of Baton Rouge to be able to easily access. Yes many of the uneducated poor population abuse the ERs. Yes junkies also go drug seeking there as well. But you also forget there are also just people that happen to be poor...that truly need medical care.
People love to hate on people that live in NBR on here...but if you don't provide them with a hospital they can access...then they will just go to the "nicer" hospitals.

I think the Lake would rather lose money on this shite than have them clogging up the main ER with sniffles.
Or bringing the knife and gun club to the waiting rooms

Will there be a special lane for all the amberlances to line up with patients with minor aches and pains?

Great for the residents- you are basically running the show which is good for experience.
Disagree. Will the resident be alone? They've always had a group and their chief resident and an attending to bounce anything off of. When some real shite rolls in they may lose their mind and residents can waste a lot of time chasing zebras. Ordering labs and a CXR for an ear infection just because a temperature was 0.1 degree over their comfort level.
8 beds will be a total shitshow. If this is a free standing ER that will take Medicare and Medicaid? Better have a nice waiting room and security.

Place will probably be staffed with 2 cops around the clock. $$$.

The urgent care unit at that location already takes Medicare and Medicaid.

The urgent care there had some of the best nurses that went there when The Earl and Midcity closed. And Medicaid will support the new ER. And Tylenol pppffffftttt. Only for my baby with the fever. I want Norco and not dem 5s

My place, some of the docs don't even carry a triplicate. In addition, we don't have Dilaudid on the premesis. Word travels fast too.

I went to the OLOL emergency room off Essen the other night. It was completely gangsta. There was a fight in the parking lot.

Making OLOL on Essen Great Again?

I’ve heard it is just an appeasement to the NBR rabble rousers.
Maybe they’ll help some needy people but it will bleed cash from day one.
Unless OLOL has some city or state incentives. Which those wily nuns have probably lined up.

That's what happens when culcha is sent there enmasse. That's a big reason why this ER is being opened. It's not that OLOL thinks it'll help them financially, it's because they'd rather keep the ghetto trash in the ghetto rather than have their main ER taken over by fights and shootings. There's a reason they have like ten deputies there at all times.

Please don't clog emergency rooms up with your itchy crotch problems.

Having an 8 bed "ER" that can't even take real traumas, heart attack and stroke victims....isn't really gonna solve this, yall do realize that?
2 hospitals that served that population are no longer open. Where else do you expect them to go?

Yes it will. I worked the ER at Mid-City for 2.5 years and there was often a full waiting area
ETA: LSUNurse is right when she says the best nurses (me!) work at these inner-city ERs. They’re dealing with the a lot of trauma and with most of their patients having multiple chronic medical problems.
