I don't think they would give you a case in which you would have to say hang up and dial 911, because then there is nothing for you to write on your patient note. smiling face

If the patient is distressed, take a brief history, and insist that he/she come in immediately, no excuses! If they say they have no transportation, say you can provide it. If they say they need to look after their kid, say there is day care here at the hospital... Jut have them come in for a physical -thats the main point they test.
