My Cup Doth Overflow (or at least my ward doth)

I've posted photos of patients on the floor of A-Ward (Pediatrics) before. I just don't understand why it fills up when other wards have empty beds. This morning I discharged 2 patients from A. I discharged about 5 from C (Adult Medicine), which already had empty beds. Through the day I admitted 2 new patients to A, none to C.

And then tomorrow, Dr. Becky Wallace and I will have to take care of A (with the help of medical student Rebekah Lamb). Drs. Erin Meier and Scott Dooley will be looking after C-Ward, empty beds and all. I tried to get some C-Ward patients home, I really did.

Sigh.
