Fairweather Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 My last trip to the ER was in March. Influenza;105 temp, blood pressure 85/38, severe dehydration. Waited 4 hours in lobby before getting almost 3 liters of drip in two hours....and all this for $1387. (OK, "only" $275 out of my pocket.) Did you hear about the patient who is suing his doctor for keeping him waiting for 3 hours? Quote
minx Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 had a trip to the ER friday night with my son. we were in and out of there in less than 3 hours. that wasn't 3 hours of waiting that was 3 hours of DRs and Nurses solving the problem and fixing my kiddo. to Valley Medical Quote

That is so sick. Sorry FS that the ER sucks but it does. Just one of those things. Quote
Sphinx Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Maybe if you stabbed deeper next time, they'll treat you sooner so there's less blood to mop up. Quote
lummox Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 the little phrase 'analphalactic shock' gets you first in line. Quote
ChrisT Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 when I was in the ER I threatened to faint to speed things up but all they did was pull up a wheelchair Quote
Dru Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 sounds like a victory for the profit oriented US medical system Quote
iain Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 someone thought they were having a heart attack for 3.5 hours? Quote

erik Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 i was gonna say the same thing. fence you seem to be involved in alot of self inflicted/ avoidable injurious situations. in the insurance world you are/would be high risk. because the only constant in the all these sitmos is you! you are sketchy!

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Hey, DFA spent 4 hours at the ER recently after a self-inflicted slicing. 3 stitches and some sort of -caine, and too much gauze. Approx. time being treated: .5 hr. Quote
minx Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 wow DFA that blows! we were there 3 hours including all the admitting BS. kiddo had his hand numbed, xrayed, 4 big cuts cleaned, 8 stitches and 3 fingernails attached. the DR and nurses were with us for at least 2 of the 3 hours. it probably makes a difference what time and which hospital you go to.

minx Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Distel, that's the second time i've been there in the last couple years. previous time was after i wrecked my car. got expedient service that time in the middle of the day. this time was a friday evening/night and they were really busy. Quote
