Rummaging through my D drive just now, I found this photo which I took in a hospital emergency room about a year ago. I snapped it with my camera phone so it isn't the best quality but it says, "Patient's [sic] are not to be left on a stretcher in the hallway unattended!!!" Note that this is not a professionally-made sign but something that someone in management at this hospital obviously felt was needed so they printed it out on a computer and taped it up. There were several copies up and down that corridor.
Question: Should someone who needs this kind of reminder be working in a hospital? I mean, if you're on the staff and you're shuffling patients around, which I understand is necessary, shouldn't you know not to leave them unattended in the hallway? This must have been a problem there.
Also, if you're in some sort of management position at a hospital, shouldn't you know you don't need an apostrophe there?
In any case, the signs weren't working. I didn't want to invade anyone's privacy by snapping a pic in that direction but about twenty feet away from where I took this, there were two gurneys with unattended patients on them. One of them — an older black woman — was there an awful long time and every ten or fifteen minutes, someone would walk by and tell her, "Your room will be ready any minute now." She'd been there at least two hours when I left. For all I know, she's still there.
