After having both my childrens being seen more or less immediately in the er, once with like half of medical staff at once in the room, I'm happy to wait my turn. Me being treated later means someone else is having a worse day than I am, and I do not want to trade places.

Or sadly they just plain forgot. That is the worst thing to happen. I was in the ER having a acute appendicitis. Went in at 530am. Didn't get operated on until 7pm. Was behind a emergency C section. But apparently I was forgotten about because my brother asked a doctor for an update on how much longer and when he did and they clarified them my room, he told me their faces went pale and asked him in a worried voice "he's still there?" My brother went yep. Shortly after that I was brought in to get operated on. Shit happens. But man please dont tell me after the fact that "we got it just in time" (before it explodes) when you forgot about the patient. I found out later in recovery that they forgot about me.

Right? I encountered a Karen who went to the ER with a HEAD COLD, on a Money of all days, and expected to be seen before everyone else because she was pregnant. And there I was in unimaginable pain with what I didn't know yet was a burst ovarian cyst, patiently waiting my several hours for a bed. How rude of me to be before her.

My sister briefly worked in the ER(now shes in post surgery recovery) and she always tells me that you do not want to be the person that gets rushed to the back when you first get to the ER. If you are it's because you are dying. Be grateful the health care professional who assessed you says you can wait.

My husband went to the ER a week after major surgery with a high fever. They came in and took some blood and a little bit later about 8 people literally RAN into his room and started working furiously. Turns out he had sepsis and was within hours of dying if he hadn't been brought in. NO waiting on that trip! That was a fast ER trip! They obviously ended up admitting him and he was there for about a week.

Small town ER. Went in past a room full of snifflers. Not enough doctors around so they go to the ER for their sniffle fix. Got rushed right in. Someone went out there to tell them that the doctor wouldn't be able to see them for at least an hour. When I left the waiting room was empty. They all ended up giving up and going home to try again another day.

Sooo quick story time.. my father is a heart and lung patient and we hate going to the ER but with his 8th heart attack he filled with fluid as well. They transported him by ambulance to the ER where he sat in a hallway for 6 and 1/2 hours till they did a shift change and there was a woman who asked my father why he was there and if he was okay (he looked pale) she checked his oxygen levels after him telling her what happened and why he was there... she immediately got upset with her staff and got him into a room as quickly as possible. Without that nurse my dad never would have made it to live another day. He's still going strong on heart attack 10 so far! Love u dad!

Ah my grandad was in a very similar situation. He had suffered 26 heart attacks in his life and he was in hospital after a stroke and he was sat in a hallway on a bed for hours where he ironically bumped into my uncles partner who was there for some routine tests thankfully we have the NHS here in the UK and don't have to pay for our healthcare but unfortunately the government treats them like shit and even after a pandemic in which they saved our PM's life after be was diagnosed with COVID all they got in return was a clap for carers thing, painting some post boxes or something blue and a 1% pay rise as well as trying to sell it to the US and privatise it making it inaccessible for the people that need it. (I've been visually impaired since birth basically and have had routine eye tests, an eye surgery when I was 8 and many appointments and stuff when I was younger bc I had a wonky eye so had we been living in America the amount we'd have to pay in medical bills would be astronomical) It's a slap in the fucking face for them

My stepfather once was complaining of intense leg pain 3 days after a surgery on his nose. Like could barely walk on it, when my niece accidentally hit his leg with a very soft and light stuffed animal, the noise he made scared the crap out of her. (Literally she was still in diapers at the time :P) He tried toughing it out until my mom made him go to the hospital, he bitched the entire way there and the place was packed. He just wanted to go home and not wait for hours. They were brought in immediately. My mother didn't have the heart to tell him that when you go into a packed emergency room and get taken back within 5 minutes of signing in, its because your life is in immediate danger. That kind heartedness ended the moment he was discharged and mom laid into him HARD about how the blood clot in his leg could have literally killed him had it moved towards his heart and to not question her when she says he needs to go to the er. She worked as an intake specialist, getting the patients information etc. She'd seen so many real emergencies and non emergencies... ever since we defer to her judgement when we think we need to but don't want to go and spend all day.

My ex husband, an er dr, died because he didn’t get to the er fast enough! He was always prone to nosebleeds, not a big problem, but this time he was on blood thinners and so the bleeding wouldn’t stop. He bled out before he made it to the hospital. If his wife had insisted that he go earlier, he’d be alive today and my kids would still have their father. He, being a dr, should have known better!

As soon as we got in, my dad put me in a wheelchair after carrying me from the car to the er, a nurse came up to us with three people ahead of us and we immediately got a room and two nurses.

It Wasn't a good day, especially because I got there around 7:00 pm, had to go to another hospital that was about 30 minutes away (with my wrist just wrapped in compression wrap) and then when I got there they put me under and set my wrist into place and casted it. I got discharged from the hospital at 4:00 am.

@Yoakleoakle The problem isn’t that people are uninsured (doctors and nurses get paid either way) but because they have no where else to go people come to ER with non life threatening problems that could be handled at a normal doctor’s office. The ER that I worked at (as a janitor) was constantly understaffed and overworked even with just the life threatening emergencies. I understand what he said sounded harsh and I understand that people can’t always pay for a normal doctor, but please know that the health care workers (or at least the ones I worked with) want to help everyone but the care for patients who are in critical care take up large amounts of people and supplies. This means that there may be only one nurse to care for 5-10+ non emergency patients by themselves while the others are trying to save someone who has been stabbed multiple times making it incredibly stressful for everyone involved including the patients who have to wait hours just to see a nurse. I hope this helps 🙂

If you’re in the ER and you get called back quickly, that is a bad sign. It means you are actually dying. One of my gym buddies went to the ER to get checked for stomach pain, and he got called only 5 minutes after his intake was finished. It turns out that the pain was from an infected bowel that went septic. They didn’t let him check out of his room for a week.

I had a strange allergic reaction once where my knees swelled up to the size of cantaloupes and I had trouble walking. My mom and I were in the waiting room of the ER for 3 or 4 hours. When we were finally brought back and the nurse realized how hard it was for me to move she apologized for leaving us out there so long.

I remember a week after having my c section my stitches tore and a bunch of stuff was coming out and I went to the ER nervous not knowing if it was an emergency because the tear wasn't huge but the amount of stuff coming out was a lot in my opinion since it completely soaked my shorts and also had a lot of puss. they got me in pretty fast and people who were waiting were yelling at the nurse helping me asking "why are u taking her back when I've been here longer" thankfully the nurse ignored them and got me back immediately! Sometimes people don't understand some emergencies need to be tended to sooner than others

I'm very happy you're alright, but remember that sometimes an illness can be invisible in some ways and their severity level may not be accurately assessed. sure, maybe they've been there too long because the nurse is correct in thinking they just had a bad Taco Tuesday, but what if instead they're dying of sepsis and each minute is lowering their survival chances? try not to underestimate that those without clear outward signs of emergency aren't in peril

The point is if that guy wasnt being an impatient jerk then I have no right to be regardless of how much I wanted to scream.

I guess? Actively dying could be translated to "in a state where homeostasis is being directly disrupted and death is imminent" So if you want to make the statement of "inactively dying" then sure... I guess you could say that it is the standard state of less imminent casualties because everyone eventually loses homeostasis at different rates depending on the scenario. It goes into triage at that stage, which was the point of the statement in the first place. Let's say you have three patients. A stubbed toe, a guy with an evisceration, and a cardiac arrest. While the man with the evisceration is likely "dying" he isn't dying as fast as the already dead guy. Obviously stubbed toe guy is your last priority. It's degrees of death and determining which will be the first to die.

If you’re uninsured and appear homeless you certainly won’t be treated like someone uninsured that just looks like “maybe they’re in between jobs”. Also, I’m sorry the absurdity of that last comment can’t be ignored. If anything tax dollars should go to healthcare, it’s only one of the major crisis in this country. But your pride or morals or whatever it is can continue paying medcal bills meanwhile tax dollars are probably being spent on a park somewhere as some mayor’s selfish way of memorializing thier name.

@@kr7.00 I guess now I'm feeling brave enough to share my embarrassing ER story. Years ago here in Canada, I had a pilonidal cyst which is a cyst that grows near your tailbone basically in the crack of your bum and it abcessed so I was out new years eve celebrating and by that point it was large enough that it affected how I was walking. Fast forward another day and I end up going to the ER around 9 or 10 pm on January 1st with my mom. After waiting for some 5 hours in the waiting room (I couldn't even sit for obvious reasons so I had to stand), I go inside, wait another hour or so and then they tell me there's no anesthesiologist and its like 3-4 am. So they get a bunch of deer in the headlights looking residency students to use me as a guinea pig. The best they could do for me was local freezing to numb the pain. They proceeded to stab me near the tail bone 3 or 4 times with these giant needles. At this point, I was screaming at the top of my lungs, it literally felt like I was shanked 4 times. Worst pain of my life. And since the abcess is 3 dimensional and pushing out from all sides, the 'anesthetic' didn't do anything except for the skin. So they cut a little slit and then start trying to push the puss out of this golf ball sized and imagine a pimple that size and a grown man pushing his thumbs down on to it with his entire body weight, the pain was horrific. These clowns had no idea what they were doing and the more I screamed in agony, the less sure they seemed of anything. At one point they just gave up trying to reassure me and calm me down as far as the pain went and just said aite fuck it. Anyway, they patch me up with a bit of gauze and hightail it the fuck outta there. My mom said she could hear me screaming through 2 sets of doors waiting outside of the patient area of the hospital wing. Then for the next week, I had to have a nurse come everyday to fill this hole with gauze and you can imagine how it feels getting cloth shoved into an open wound but all in all it wasn't that bad considering this time around, I had painkillers unlike at the ER. My first nurse was this super nice African lady, she guided me through the whole thing. My second nurse was this gigantic Iranian wrestler with huge cauliflower ears, he looked like a bodybuilder. I was expecting to have to hide my reactions to the pain but he was really understanding too 😂 What a life eh?

The worst place to have a miscarriage was the ER. The waiting room was empty and I still had to sit there not knowing if my baby was dying for over 6 hours. There was no compassion from the doctors I saw and no grief assistance offered by the hospital. They treated me like shit while my child was dying and like it wasn't a big deal. It was to me! That is my child, inside my body and to be treated like shit was the worst thing to add to that situation. My midwives had sent me to that ER specifically to be seen because my clinic didn't have ultrasound.

@@OGbigbootyjudy so it LUCKILY hadn’t fully exploded when I went to the ER but it was very close so I didn’t need emergency surgery (thank GOD because I was 18 and had no health insurance, I pushed going to the ER for weeks with this pain. I finally went when I couldn’t sleep bc I was throwing up every 3 minutes). What caused it was me being 18 and stupid. I slept with someone who WASNT random, I actually knew him since childhood and trusted him, and he was infected with chlamydia and was fully aware. I found out after the fact from friends that he was joking about his “dick germies” (how fuvking disgusting). So I was never told by ANYONE! Not my friends, not him, NOBODY told me to go get tested. I’m no longer friends with anybody who knew about this and kept it from me. If this happened to me now I would do everything I could to try to pursue legal action. Anyways, I was infected for almost 6 months without knowing. I didn’t know until I started having a weird smell down there and went to the GYN. I was so humiliated, embarrassed, I felt so disgusting, I wanted to rip the inside of myself out. My tube was blocked fully by scar tissue, and had filled with fluid. I don’t really know how they got the fluid out, because i didn’t have surgery. I don’t know the state of the tube currently but the ovary has been imaged and it’s intact…so that’s good at least? Ovaries can stay functional without the tube so it could be there…i mean it was never removed so I guess it is? Horrible experience though. I had to have therapy after it happened because I was just beating and beating myself up for that

That final part sent chills down my spine. I LOVE waiting whenever I go to the ER bc I only ever go when I'm in pain so bad I can't eat and a clinic isn't an option (I get ear infections and sick a lot but I know what I need and can easily communicate that through writing, I swam competitively for 9 years and I'm suuuuper prone to real bad swimmers ear and wet ear) waiting tells me they're prioritizing the right people. The longest I've been stuck at an er was 5hrs for a shot and some medicine that'd take the pain and swelling down so I could finally eat ❤ and my nurses are always amazing quick in, explanation, out, and a smile. Being a fellow healthcare worker def helps these situations too tho ofc

I was in the ER for 12 hours with an exploding appendix while Covid positive. The nurses kept rushing in because the perfect combination of sleep apnea and morphine will always drop my blood oxygen level two at or below 80 whenever I tried to sleep to pass the time with the pain. Let’s just say that was a shitty day and it was trippy waking up the next day with three holes in my abdomen.

Turns out she had a come in with complaints of a tooth ache, I'd just like to say thank you to all emergency services and hospital staff you guys have more patience and understanding than I ever could muster

I got sent to the ER as a kid for suicide watch and I was very confused, like "wait I though there was a psych ward" and there I stayed on a bed in the hallways for the entire day. I was supposed to be sent to a children's hospital but it was too far away, and I kid you not the head person yelled at the ambulance drivers for bringing me to the ER. She even asked me if I was joking and if I could just go home. Mind you I sort of understood cause there was already 4 ambulances there, but it not like I asked to be there ya know. . . at least 6-8 nurses got to have fun trying to find my vein and getting to use a special machine to help.

Amen. I work at a hospital and was in our ER once because my colleagues dragged me in with a suspicion of a stroke or something similar. I’ve been there for almost 10 hours altogether. Turned out I was not dying lol. I was ashamed to be there and wasting their time and also grateful that they checked if my symptoms could mean anything dangerous. If you’re in an ER and your symptoms are not life threatening, shut up and just wait.

Mainly because I knew I wasn't on deaths door, and because I have a lot of family members who are nurses, and I know they have enough to deal with! The longer you wait, the luckier you are! It's when you get rushed back that you should worry!
