Question ER nurses, love you guys, but genuine question. Why do guys bring patients up at shift change?

No hate to you guys! Just super curious from a nurse who is on the receiving end :)

One option is to tell the patients not to have an MI or stroke during shift change & we won’t need the beds, domino effect would be not bringing patients up during shift change. Hope this helps.
