They use to have this job open to volunteers at Foothills Hospital, I know that. I use to volunteer there during HS working in the ER, just making sure everyone was ok, bringing them water or a tissue or whatever and helping keep kids entertained and whatever a (generally) untrained staffer could do.

It would be pretty easy to find some volunteers to help tend ER and check out any serious signs... pre-med students.
