Have been in the ER for 3 hrs now.... - Page 2

Exacerbations of chronic pain are typically a 4-5 hour wait to be seen in my ER. Usually no prescriptions, just the notorious "3 to go" ... but if a provider does write a script it will be for a maintenance med, not a new regimen.

I'm sorry but only 6 hours, that's not an exceptionally long wait. Glad your home now and mom is taken care of.

If you guys were cracking up, they probably knew she was ok and not actively trying to croak

When my daughter had a febrile seizure, we were given ib profin in triage, and by the time we got a bed she was basically fine, she was singing loudly enough to be heard from outside the curtain. Didnt see a nurse until she came with my discharge papers. The doc said he had been listening in on her singing and figured she was probably ok. I was mad at the time, because she had never had a seizure before and I thought they had to do SOMETHING for her, but luckly she was fine, no IV or anything.
We were also there about 7 hours total. The tech did come in once for vitals, and to give us the remote....or we would have died of boredom Im sure.

So Im with ya, ER visits are sometimes boring, but I would always take my boring visit over being the one getting all the attention from the docs/nurses ect.

Must keep mouth shut. Must keep mouth shut.......

You must be as shocked as I am that an ED nurse would ever be rude. Kinda hard to believe, isn't it? What ever is this world coming to?

Thank god she wasn't a priority.

This is proof that while we may manage to restrain ourselves in person, the anonymity of the internet makes us feel more free to be snippy.
The OP managed to keep her cool in person, but jumped on a poster here.
It was a bit... rude.
