Patient not continuing the path

Hello,

With the model attached, I have a problem, when i reach day 2 of the simulation, I have a patient that is supposed to arrive at 16:00, he has to be taken by MD30 (schedule : Chiru2MeJV) which is available and has to go in OR5. But this does not happen and I don't know why, he will be taken in charge at 8 during the third day by another MD. What is the problem ? Normally I have said that the day is over when there is no patient in the model but it does not work for that specific case.

Thanks by advance.

All the ORs (including OR5) are scheduled to close at 16:00, however Patient 34 doesn't finish their operation in OR5 until 16:17. So by the time Patient 34 is done with OR5, that bed is closed and Patient 37 can't get it. If I change the Shift Schedule so that the ORs don't close until 16:30 Patient 37 successfully gets OR5.
