I worked at a hospital in a clinic on the grounds. A patient of mine went into an emergency situation while in his wheel chair. I immediately took him across a small parking lot and brought him to the ER. He lived. However, I was told to never, ever... bring a patient to the ER from the clinic again. I was to call 911. Now... this would add at least 20 minutes to the man's ordeal and he may not have lived. But... the hospital could not be sued if something happened to the man while I was bringing him to the ER. Privately, I was praised by my supervisor... but I was also told to never do that again.
