Also if youre going to declare diversion, you should probably tell someone other than the ER staff. Like perhaps the EMS dispatching agency....or the DOH

“Well everyone’s on divert…so you aren’t on divert. Sorry.” (But not sorry).

...a normal day at Highland/ALCO trauma center was a bad day in the era of covid where I am now...and when we went on divert, no one dared come....happened maybe once a week or so.

Our hospital has been on and off adult diversion, the competing hospital started responding by going on diversion. So in the end, nobody was on diversion.

As far as I know it hasn't happened locally, but I don't transport all that often so it might have.
It will be a mess when/if it does: Ft job we can transport to 2 counties: they are equal distance away, but different way to get there: 60 mile difference if we head to County A and get diverted to hospitals in County B or the reverse.
