Critical Thinking
An emergency department is a department within a hospital organization responsible for immediate care for patients such as surgical care and medical attention. The critical conditions that are handled in an emergency department include cardiac arrest, heart attack, trauma, and asthma. Within this department, nurses and physicians are always in a hurry to attend to every patient because the number of reported critical cases in a hospital is always high. This means that they have to be ready at all times and busy (Wright, April, Raymond, Zammuto, and Peter 205). This is a work environment that can be strange to an outsider because he or she may not understand the medical language being used and the interpersonal communication that takes place.
When outsiders visit an emergency department, they will be regarded as outsiders because of their behaviors that they show. As an illustration, an emergency department is placed in the hospital where people are always in a hurry and busy. To an, a person who is standing still without doing anything can be a strange experience and can be related to being an outsider. Secondly, an outsider is never aware of the language that is being used to communicate (Wright, April, Raymond, Zammuto, and Peter 220). He or she may be told to get surgical equipment, something that is a weird term to the stranger, these attributes of an emergency department makes it easier to identify an outsider from a distant.

There is always a code of dressing that officials wear. This makes them appear different from others. Most importantly, nobody should always be allowed in the emergency department unless there is a severe medical condition. The presence of an outsider may interfere with the normal operations.
