Wish I could give it a zero star. I went to the ER...

Wish I could give it a zero star. I went to the ER complaining of shortness of breath on 2 occasions and they kept doing a ECG and sitting me in the waiting room. I finally insisted on speaking with someone because I could barely breathe. The head nurse came over and I told her that it wasn't my heart but I had bad asthma and my inhaler wasn't working. I said there are other emergencies than just a heart attack. Her words "yes, you could be having a lung embolism but you are still going to wait in the waiting room for a few hours". I couldn't believe this woman had just told me that I could be dying and they would just sit me in the waiting room and not do a chest xray or anything . At that point I knew I was in trouble so I left and went to Metroplex outside the gate and was seen within 5 mins. When they check my lungs they were almost completely closed due to the asthma attack I had. If I would have stayed I may have died... I will NOT go back to that ER.
