Abnormal and catastrophic, due to persistent severe headache and the suspicion of an aneurysm in the head, I took my mother to the emergency room (Sunday 3:00 p.m.). Very few emergency patients were on site at the time. An hour later my mother was examined externally in a treatment room, blood pressure, blood draw and EKG. Then a computed tomography (the most important thing) should be done on her. We waited from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and still couldn't answer. We felt we had been forgotten. The nurse ate and drank calmly in her room as more and more emergency patients piled up in the hallway. When asked when my mother finally got her turn because she had waited 8 hours without eating or drinking, I got the answer We don't know either, we can't say when, please keep waiting. You should have taken food or you can go, nobody is forcing you to stay . That brought the barrel to overflowing, this is an emergency room and not a siege where you have to take provisions and hold out. My mother couldn't take it anymore, we drove home with no result. They don't seem to understand the word "emergency".
