Went there by ambulance suffering from a kidney stone. I was in so much pain I was vomiting in a plastic vomit bag in the ambulance. EMT gave me an IV an injected in it something for the pain & nausea. We get to the hospital, and they unhook me from the IV but leave the port in my arm. I'm put in a wheelchair and made to go through triage, yes, they had to take my temperature, blood pressure, and weigh me...that's right, doubled over in pain and I have to stand on a scale. I'm begging this women to give me something for the pain and she tells me I have to wait for a nurse. Then my husband is given a number and told to wheel me into the waiting room and wait for the number to be called...wow...I have a port stuck in my arm, vomiting in a bag and in excruciating pain and I'm in the waiting room. I think someone felt sorry for me because I was taken back for medical care 20 minutes later.
The ER is a nightmare, but when I finally did get medical attention, the nurse and student nurse I had were awesome.
