Well, if I went to an emergency room anywhere in Alberta and didn't check in to the triage desk, I too would never be seen. Sounds like the case here unfortunately.
The last line sums everything up.

He admitted there are no policies that specifically dictate triage nurses should approach all people in the waiting room about why they're there.

If there were no visible signs of distress and he didn't check in... can we blame the hospital in this case? Do we start requiring everyone coming through the door to state their purpose of visitation? Emergency rooms always have family and/or friends present as well.
