I’m reviewing a chapter from a fiction manuscript, and several scenes take place in an ER. I have some concerns with how certain aspects of staff and policies are portrayed, and as a reviewer I’m trying to get a sense of how this fictional portrayal matches up with real-world hospital policies.

I would appreciate being able to talk with someone who works in that environment, so if anyone here has experience working in an ER—or knows someone else who does—it would be great if I could get in touch and ask a few questions.

Not ER specific, but several positions in the medical field (as has my wife). Feel free to PM me as well.

You may PM me as well. Floor nursing now, but I have worked ER and 23 years in EMS.

Thanks to everyone for their responses, I'll be sending PMs as I'm able.

I'm currently a family physician (In Israel), but I've worked in ER quite a bit in my training. There may be quite a few differences between countries, but feel free to PM, and I'll answer the best I can.
