Over the weekend, I had to take my baby to the emergency room with a high fever. It was a rainy night.
When we got to the emergency room, the Emergency parking lot (close to the doors) was full of cars. I figured it must be a busy night at the emergency room. We wound up having to park all the way on the other side of the parking lot and walking across the lot with my sick baby in the rain. (Her dad is overseas. I had nobody along to just drop us off at the door)
When I got in the emergency room, I found out that there was only one person there, and all the other cars were people that had come to wait and find out about him. It was obviously very serious- they were all upset.
My question is, though, if you aren't dropping someone off at the emergency room, should you not park in the other lot and leave emergency parking available for people who actually are bringing sick or injured people in? What if instead of a sick baby I was bringing an elderly person with a broken leg?
