Do health care professionals have the reflex to notify the police? There is a hotline that can be called. Do they think about it?
Sometimes, a person goes to emergency, sees a triage nurse and tells the nurse about his problems, but then finds the wait to be too long and decides to go home. No one other than the nurse knows that this person came to emergency.
Do nurses understand that notifying the police is also part of their role or do they tend to consider it the doctor's responsibility?
