I went in to get chest x-rays because of laryngitis and bronchitis that was causing me severe pain. The doctors got my diagnosis wrong (one said laryngitis and as soon as she left a man came in and said pharyngitis) which made me have to come back a day later feeling even worse likely because I was given the wrong medicine. After getting the x-rays done, I walked back to my room. In the center of the emergency room, I saw my chest was on the screen of a computer and the staff was gathered around looking at it laughing, saying there was no way I was actually a minor. It made me physically sick to my stomach and I felt like crying. I've had doctors tell me hurtful things about my weight before and I understand why THAT would be okay but the staff had my chest on display while they gathered around laughing at my underage body, which was COMPLETELY unnecessary and sickening behavior for an emergency room.

tldr: I would not go here if I was dying. the staff are disgusting people and every single one of them should be fired.
