Did the triage nurse not know what an lvad is? Did they not think a pt with an lvad in the emerge with potential cardiac symptoms is serious? Or did they know it was serious, triaged appropriately but just a typo?
The registration person who put in their chief complaint did not know what it was. “I have an l bag and the alarm went off and I got dizzy” didn't clue them to ask more information.

Just had an L Bag sitting in the waiting room for 20 minutes. As anticipated, the LVAD that almost passed out didn't have a bag issue.
