EMS: “This patient was on the subway where they found the bag with the radioactive source inside. The bag was hidden under a seat. She was sitting next to the bag. They haven’t found any contamination at the scene. She’s homeless and she been riding the subway all day, maybe six hours, in the same car. She’s been complaining of nausea. Vital signs are stable.”
HP: “Looks like the levels are just normal background.”
RN: “It just hit the news that a radioactive source was found. We’re expecting to get flooded with patients from that subway.”
RN: “Let get her into room three.”
