4 -- Social Services personnel or psychiatric service personnel should be available to assist the “worried well” in coping with the trauma they have just experienced, witnessed, or heard about through the media. The patient is very upset and should not be sent away without any intervention. The patient escaped the building before it collapsed. She experienced no injuries. The triage services need to be preserved for those who suffered injuries.
