DOTHAN: Emergency Responders have just been alerted that Southeast Alabama Medical Center is on complete patient diversion. That means they have no beds available for patients.
What in reality that means - the hospital has beds available but just not enough nursing staff to manage patients.
Emergency responders are forced to transport patients to Flowers Hospital or to another hospital somewhere, destination unknown to ake care of the patients.
The patient diversion is a weekly if not almost daily problem. It leaves your emergency first responders in major turmoil when they have a patients and SAMC can not take anymore patients.
From the way it has been described to me SAMC has plenty of beds just not enough nursing staff to handle patients.
