My friend attended St George Hospital Emergency Department (Public) as referred by a specialist for an infected anorectal condition. During the process of triage, the nurse spoke to my friend with a glass screen in between them and checking their observation via the small opening at the bottom of the screen, including temperature measurement with a tympanic thermometer.
I feel this was quite awkward seemingly in a large hospital, without a room for triage. Also, the nurse asked questions in the presence of everyone else in the ED waiting room.
