The ER can be somewhat frustrating. You could be stuck there for hours.

Last Nov. I was misdiagnosed by one ER doc. Was told I had a boil. No blood work taken...no tests...no antibiotic given...sent home. Within four days this "boil" on my lower back had become so infected it was spreading across my lower back. You could barely touch it. I returned to the ER to see if the mass could be drained. Dr. Courtney Wilner saved my life. He admitted me, I was diagnosed with MRSA and put into isolation. Dr. Matthews drained the site bedside it couldn't be numbed because it was so severely infected. Extremely painful!!! My whiteblood cell count was 40,000. Should be around 11,000. Had a high fever. Was in for a week.

I Thank God for my friend Steph and Dr. Wilner...they seriously saved my life.
