After waiting 8 hours in an isolation room within the Emergency Room to get an IV ordered by my doctor - I was never seen by an ER doctor, and I never got the IV. I had symptoms of the flu (hence the isolation room). I finally had to go to the nurses' station and ask to be discharged. I have only one kidney (they knew it) and dehydration could have been fatal. Of course, the hospital billed me $900 for, essentially, doing nothing. This was 2 years ago.
