15. Should the orderly?

Check if human being lying in staff only stairwell was alive?

Check if human being lying in staff only stairwell had an ID bracelet?

Show the deputy where he found the human being.

Since this is a stairwell exposed to the elements, should the orderly made sure the woman lying there was not cold?

Should the orderly have followed up with a "Hey what happened to that unconscious woman I stepped over twice earlier?" later in the day.

Or should he have locked the door behind him and just go about his job after reporting it to the nurse....

Why would you send a deputy to assist someone in medical distress (unconscious), seems like paramedics would have be the obvious choice assuming the nurse was unable walk down the hallway herself.

Clear effort to pass the blame to the sheriffs department who are probably also to blame but this callous indifference is disgusting.
