The University's own emergency room, nestled below the hospital's main entrance on East Medical Center drive, didn't bear any resemblance to "ER" last Friday night. "They try real hard to make the show realistic," said Dr. Joseph Ladika, an internal medicine resi- dent. "It has gotten better - they do some hospi- tal stuff- but it's slightly on the dramatic side." But the University's emergency room, which didn't harbor any multiple gunshot victims or sur- vivors of mangled car wrecks on Friday, had its own kind of dramatic urgency with a perpetual flow of minor injuries. It was a little after 6 p.m. and Dr. Mark Lowell, med- ical director and attendant A lot physician in the emergencyI room for the past five years, ecan" peered up at the white markerboard and checked the disease c status of each patient. "A one indicates critical therof condition, two means it's serious and a three means thewe can p patient is stable," Lowell said. the right Only twos and threes fill the chart. The center was calm but A crowded since almost every room is full. Lowell notices that one of the patients had been in the emergency room for nearly six hours. "The minimum time for patients is a half hour," he said. "If they stay longer than six hours, then I'm worried." Lowell asked one of the resident doctors to check on the patient before he ducked into the x- ray viewing room, outside of which is a middle- aged man sat sideways in a bed, hunched over and having trouble breathing. Lowell turned from the fluorescent panel and said the man's lungs are similar to a balloon trying to inflate in a box filled with fluid. "We have to remove the fluid without popping D Generation New York punk rock. The Shelter. 6 p.m. (313) 961-MELT. Hello Dave Chicago's own acoustic rock.

While Lowell treats many patients directly, his role is often supervisor to the resident doctors - five of whom were working Friday - which leaves him moving briskly about the emergency room. Lowell watched as Ladika stuck a syringe into a numbed portion of the man's back and drew the plunger back, extracting the dark yellow fluid as the man squinted. More of the fluid was to be removed later. Taking it all out at once would be too sudden of a pressure change for the lungs and would do more harm than good, Lowell said. Meanwhile, in another room down the hall, a young man was lying on his back with scrapes and bruises on his arms and a cut on the side of his neck, after running into someone on his bicycle. Dr. Mike Lipscond, emergency medicine resi- dent, prepared to stitch up the wound.

But he added that it's While there wouldn't be any traumatic surg- eries that night, Dr. Lipscondasaid that after having a little experience in the emergency room, it's not difficult to devel- op a blase attitude toward the more gory injuries. "You get used to it pretty quick," Lipscond said. "It makes you scared at first, but then it doesn't even faze you anymore." "I think anybody can get used to anything,"he difficult for his children to get used to not seeing him for several days at a time - on Friday he hadn't seen them in more than two days. Dr. Rebecca Stroh, emergency medicine intern, said she has grown accustomed to the social atmosphere of the emergency room. "I think you get used to the level of criticalness of people;' Stroh said. "You do something for someone and you feel good - sometimes the patient is even happy." Lowell examined an elderly woman complain- ing of dizziness. The woman's husband grumbled in the corner chair about previous doctors' misdi- agnoses and seemed to expect a panacea from Lowell. The woman appeared to be healthy and Lowell politely asked the husband why he brought his wife to the emergency room this particular evening. The husband said he had no place else to go. Lowell said many people come to the emer- gency room not because of a specific problem, but because they can't get help anywhere else. "We are in a unique position to act as patient advocate for many different rea- sons,' he said. "A lot of the time we can't cure their disease or solve their problem, but we can point them in the right direction." Trying to help the disoriented woman while mollifying her irate hus- band appeared to be a diplomatic exercise that can't be taught in medical school.
