created this alias just for some anonymity on this post

Hotel i work, guy comes in takes a room for 2 nights. Asks a lot of things from us while telling us a lot of useless stuff. beginning of second night, calls the desk and wants someone to come and decide if he should call an ambulance. i get there he has most of his buttocks and lower back red. (he showed me his ass :mad: ) I call an ambulance while he tells me he had an accident 3 days ago and the doc told him he had had a heart attack in the process. He had somehow managed to get out without discharge and get to our hotel (75 miles away btw) in a rental car. Ambulance comes in, he doesn't want to get back to an emergency room. So ambulance guys let him call a cab to get there. Meanwhile the cops come in (my boss, from home, got word of the whole ordeal and would've had him evicted anyway had it not been me instead of a woman at the desk, feared for our safety) talk to the guy, the medics, get what they need for their report.

Medics, cops get out. Guy takes taxi. And the damn floor is soaking wet! I had the cops note that down.

Now the hard part
Here in Quebec, having a heart attack means immediate (as in take away physically) the person's driver license for a month minimum. This guy being from NH south of the border, i fear for his safety going back home, as he doesn't seem to understand it culd hit anytime.



Cliffnotes
1. guy from NH, accident + heart attack in QC
2. Leaves hospital early
3. somehow gets to hotel
4. weird requests + messing room
5. asks me for ambulance, which i do
6. boss gets cops in the mix
7. guy goes to hospital in taxi
8. should've had license taken away


Should i warn NH DMV?


EDIT: in QUEBEC, so either the doc didn't have time to take the card away or the rule does not apply for out of province drivers...

I should also add that another guest waited 2 hours while i was attending the guy. He had no A/C. So he asked to leave, not have another room, just to leave...

Bad night bad night...<

The DMV can't take away your license for having a heart attack in any state that I'm aware of, so even if you called them, what are they going to do?

But the guy is from NH and so I assume has a NH driver's license. Quebec can't rescind a NH license AFAIK.

I dont think you have any responsibility to report his alleged heart attack to anyone. You do not have any medical evidence to support this, only his word. If it needed to be reported, then that would have been the ER attending physicians responsibility.

So the rule does not apply anywhere in the U.S ?
ok...
i'll let the doc's do what's right
i just hope he doesn't show up tonight, he was in bad shape when he left and that would only mean he left without discharge papers again.

Some states have laws that you can be denied a license based on health problems when you apply or renew one. AFAIK though, no state takes your license immediately following a heart attack. I am by no means 100% sure of this, but I've never heard of it.

Yup, there an undefined thing in my work that guests like, it's called confidentiality.

Believe me, mods wouldn't have a hard time finding out what my usual account is
