I was in the er for a pinched nerve that left me helpless. I couldn't move my left leg and my back. I came in by ambulance and everything was fine until the pain shot down to my left ankle and foot. Before the nurse left, she gave me a device so I could call them if I needed help. When I started to feel pain, I pushed the button and nothing for about two minutes. But, when you are in pain, two minutes will feel like an eternity. So my sister went out and said told the nurse, who was just outside laughing with the others, that I needed help. She finally came in like a minute later and said that the doctor just put my prescription in and that it will just be a few more minutes. Of course I was in so much pain so I was cussing to myself after she left with the attitude that I was wasting her time. The male nurse, BEN, then told another nurse ""tell her to chill."" Later, the nurses were angry because I hadn't given them a urine sample. How stupid are these people??!! I couldn't walk, let alone move. They hadn't given me a thing for my pain. Yet, they expected to just to jump out of my bed to give them a urine sample. I should've just pissed in that bed, then they would've gotten their urine sample! HEY YOU WORTHLESS NURSES - IF IT WASN'T FOR PEOPLE IN PAIN LIKE US, YOU WOULD BE OUT OF A JOB!! But I don't want to bash them all. There were a couple of people that came in who seemed to genuinely care. Too bad they weren't assigned to my room. I will never go there again!!
