An Irrelevant Observation

Published

Just spent the evening with my brother at the local ED.

Has anyone else noticed that the later the hour, the more the crowd in the waiting room resembles "The People of Walmart"?

Specializes in Med nurse in med-surg., float, HH, and PDN.

"Me, Me, Oh pick Meeeee! I have splinter in my toe and I can't stop sneezing. It must be somethin' terrible, because my step-grandmother's sister-in-law's dogs' original owner knew someone this happened to and he had a funeral a week later!

"And when my brother comes back from Wendy's with my cheeseburger and fries and chocolate frostie, could you tell him what room I'm in?.......What do you MEAN I'll have to wait a little longer to be seen? I've been here like 4 hours already! Isn't this supposed to be an EMERGENCY room? Well I"VE got a *@&%*))& emergency!"
