This was my worst ever ER experience.

This was my worst ever ER experience.

There was a long wait, four hours just to see a doctor. In that time no one even looked at my wound. I'm sitting there, bleeding, and the triage nurse, the RN, the radiology tech, no one actually lifted the home made compress to LOOK at the injury.

The doctor (Samir K. Doshi) popped in, said my x-rays showed nothing broken and then started to leave the room. I asked him if anyone was going to look at the wound to see if it needed stitches. He lifted my wrap, took a quick peek and said it would be fine. They could get my antibiotics if I wanted.

I get that there is a wait in in emergency rooms but the complete lack of care of interest in some one who is bleeding is mind boggling. My vitals were stable so no one looked at the injury. I feel like they more or less said "Yes, that's nice, you can go away now." I'm going to follow up with my GP in the morning because I'm not really sure I don't need stitches.

It was a quiet night, the waiting room was almost empty and I didn't see or hear any other patients about. I've had better care at the old MCI ER when there were car crash victims to compete with than I did at St. Lukes.
