Relocating ED is all in a drill's work

Stanford Hospital physicians and staff "treated" large stuffed animals and volunteers posing as patients during a countywide earthquake drill April 30. In the drill scenario, local roads and buildings were damaged and a water line broke in the emergency department, requiring the ED to be moved outdoors. Tents outside the emergency entrance sheltered a triage area and gurneys for treating patients. The drill was part of the medical center's ongoing preparation for emergencies.
