Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

The tone of your post was rather off-putting and does come across as rude. Just sayin'

You didn't almost die. Yes you had an exposure and needed prophylaxis but I think you are being a little melodramatic. But at least you KNEW you were exposed so you could get treated. I wonder how...

I do ER and traveled at one place in NYC that did stuff like that. Like there could be 20 nurses on, 120 PTs in ER and two vents. And they would give me both vents in addition to my 10 other PTs. Or...

Epilogue: I did outpatient radiology for about 8 months and it was a nightmare. I was ready to go back to ER after a month lol. I def have a new appreciation for it now.

One place where I work does forward triage...meaning the patients are sent right back to a room. Everyone hates it, the reason being..you will get slammed with 4 un-triaged pts at once, each one...

Put it this way...in one facility there were so many ER holds that they had to open up a separate holding area in the lobby. I had a pt who had been in the ER five days waiting for a bed. At one...

Are you ER? NYC is rough if you don't know what to expect.

I never said I was set on anything. But I want to know specifically why it is bad. I have only seen generalizations. My reasons for wanting to go are not travel related...more family stuff.
