The Hospital ER room is perhaps the most frustrating experience you will ever encounter. The waiting time has to be among the worst of private hospitals in the nation. I have never so many people in such clear agony waiting over four hours to be treated.
Even more frustrating, perhaps, is the multiple steps. First, you are greeted, in pain, and have to fill out forms. Then you meet with someone who determines the seriousness of your injury. Then you wait. Wait some more. Wait some more...
Finally, just when you think your time is up, and you will be treated, you get called in. As if that means you are about to be treated. No! This means you have a new place to wait, and a doctor will be with you "shortly". In this last wait, my experience was pretty frustrating. Granted, I had a burn that had to be treated, but several doctors appeared to just be chatting it up about sports or a TV show or something. Certainly not something I expect at 1:00 AM after being in the ER for four hours.
The only redeeming thing was that they did take care of my injury, and I was given the necessry medication
