I wasn't given an IV when I was admitted with a stomach concern. I had been throwing up for 4 hours. After leaving, my tongue was sticking to the roof of my mouth. I tried to get water out of the vending machine in the waiting room but the attendant filling it told me that I had to wait for her to fill the machine.
I was given no discharge documents and had to return to the hospital the next day for them.
The nurse called me a cab to get back to my hotel room but after 30 minutes, the cab still had not arrived. I asked the receptionist if she could contact the nurse to ask which cab company she had called and was told, she was unavailable. So, after being in the ER for several hours, at 4 in the morning, I sat helpless in a waiting room.
