BINGO.    Great point.     For any  trauma patient that is not going to be 
able to be dismissed from the ER  following minor treatment for a minor injury, 
there is NO REASON TO KEEP THAT  PATIENT IN THE ER ANY LONGER THAN IT TAKES TO 
COMPLETE THE LOGISTICS OR  PAPERWORK TO GET THEM TO THE OR, ICU, FLOOR, IR, 
OR OTHER LOCATION.

The ICU  is a great place for patients who need resuscitation but DON'T need
the  operating room.
