What kind of work is involved in these areas of hospital volunteering?

Question

I'm applying to volunteer at a local hospital this summer. On the application, there is one section that asks what kind of work I would prefer. What kind of work is involved in "Emergency Room" and "Outpatient Services"? I know that, being only a volunteer, it wouldn't be anything critically important to patient health. so what kinds of tasks would you be doing in those areas?

Answer 1

Toting and carrying - papers, supplies etc.

You mostly function as an extra pair of hands for the professionals.

To volunteer in the ER it helps if you have a strong stomach.

Answer 2

You would deliver important papers to certain doctors, bring

xrays from the imaging room to the O.R., safely bring people from their rooms to either get pre-lab stuff done.. You will also help people to the O.R. for one day surgery..
