Line 17:
When a patient is brought into the emergency department, they are usually sent to [[triage]] first. The patient may be triaged by an emergency physician, a paramedic, or a [[nurse]]; in the United States, triage is usually performed by a [[registered nurse]]. If the patient is admitted to the hospital, another physician such as a [[cardiologist]] or [[neurologist]] takes over from the emergency physician.
