Explain a hospital layout please
I'm writing thriller and my characters have to break into a medical records room to steal their records before they get into the wrong hands.
The problem is I don't know a thing about how hospitals operate. I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how emergency room records are filed, and how one would go about acquiring them. And some of the difficulties they would have.
Any knowledge you have on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

In the ER I worked in, any medical records needed by emergency room physicians were hand delivered or
returned by medical records personnel.
There are cameras and security people all over hospitals. It would be hard to get medical records.

Hey there..
On Advicenators, it may be hard to capture such information. But I do suggest that you go to a local hospital, and ask.
I'm sure that since you have a legit reason as to why you need to information, they wouldn't mind telling you things that may help you write your book.
Trust me, I'm in the process of writing a book myself, and without plausible research, and hands on experience.. it's very difficult.
Try going to a library too.. you may be surprise by how much information you'd be able to obtain there. Also, any nurses or doctors in the family? Ask them too! They much know something.
Good luck with the book! =)
