I was recently in the ER with my husband who was experiencing the pain of a kidney stone. It was not crowded and we were taken back pretty quickly after I assured the desk girl that he was in a lot of pain. We were there four hours while they continued to give him increased doses of pain meds to ease his suffering. There were a couple of problems I need to mention. One, the physician and nurse working when we got there went off duty, but did not tell us and didn't seem to have told the doctor who was coming on board anything at all. We had to request to see a doctor before discharge and had to request scripts for pain meds. THEN when we received the scripts....we later realized that one of the pain meds was the EXACT medicine that my husband had told them he was ALLERGIC to!!!! Thankfully, he had gone online to check the brand name of the generic he was given, or he would have been even sicker than when he went in! Needless to say, this upset us very much, that they were so careless with his discharge. This kind of mistake could certainly hurt someone or even be fatal, so be sure and ALWAYS check the meds you are given!!!!
