I arrived at the emergency room at around 1130 am. I was there until 10:30pm before I was examined. I am 66 years old and fell on my kitchen floor this am. I have experienced excruciating pain and couldn t walk or put any weight on my left leg. Upon arrival in the ER the triage nurse assured me that I would receive an X-ray while waiting for a bed in the examining room. When the shift changed the haggard Middle Aged blond nurse to kid me that only Drs ordered X-rays and that I wouldn t get an X-ray for brill I am seen by a Dr. she added that my being seen by a doctor is based on the severity of my medical condition. . After sitting and waiting for 8 hours a young white guy walked in accompanied by his girlfriend. He checked in and everyone heard him say he thought he d dislocated his arm while playing football on the mall. He was taken back to the examining area within an hour and a half. He walked out in a sling. I have a video of his examination and His injury was not as severe as mine and he should not have been seen so quickly. He was taken out n and serviced before me and many others simply because he was a white make. There was no sense of urgency and he left in a sling.
