The doctor was really amazing.

The doctor was really amazing.
My daughter had been treated for a broken sternum earlier in the day at Conamaugh in Johnstown after a car accident and they prescribed Tylenol for the pain, she is 11 years old.
The ER doctor knew right away why she was having trouble breathing, it hurt too much to inhale, and had her breathing comfortably within a half hour.
Both nurses were also excellent.
Not a problem when they gave her an IV, their demeanor was a real asset.

Others seem to want to complain, but my experience the ER staff had my daughter comfortable within an hour and prescribed the proper medication.
A week later and she is doing much better, if I had followed the advice of the hospital in Johnstown, she would be suffering terribly still.

The only bad thing I can say is about the people with sniffles and coughs clogging up the ER.
We had to wait while "sick" adults took up seats yet somehow found the energy to text, walk outside to smoke, etc...
The poor things...
They must be some of the people complaining here below my post, adults with no pain tolerance that cannot wait til the morning to see their family doctor over a stubbed toe or itchy wart.
