Sorry I was late coming on chat tonight. Hope you are feeling better. Our hospital..which has a heart wing.. No one would have to wait. Also, I knew to send Grandson by ambulance to ER..when he was having a bad cramping..5 days after he had just been there with all tests run..Sure enough appendix.. Brought in to back..surgeon there in 5 minutes..operated on.. NO way..I would have taken him to regular ER waiting room..... .....Just too many people there in regular ER..with stomach virus, flu, ect....would have taken too long...In 2 years..I have never had bad things togo wrong..but believe me..I will call 911 and let them take me down. They go right thru the back...where the doctor's are...and my Grandson's paramedic's stayed until they found out..my Grandson was in good hands. Have not gotten the bill..but who cares. His appendix could have ruptured . 2 weeks later..back to his old self Thank goodness...I take no meds at age 63..Just my coumadin.. All tests run by my PCP shows normal. Good genes. Dad will be age 90 this year. Bonnie

Christina,

I didn't tell you either how glad I am you are feeling better again. It must have been scary. Waiting that long is deplorable. I don't know what was going on behind the ER doors but someone with your history and symptoms should have been a priority!
