Went to the ER after my BFs ankle turned swollen, blotchy red, and warm to the touch, to rule out cellulitis whichcan be life threatening if not treated early.
This was a Sunday evening at 11p.
It's almost 7a and we are still here, in the waiting room.
He's seen a triage nurse, had vitals taken twice. He's seen a PA who ordered blood work at midnight. They had to redraw it not once but twice because it hemolyzed. The second draw was incredibly unprofessional (tried to start an IV that wasn't ordered, missed and had go digging around-not surprised it was hemolyzed. I wasn't there for first or third.)
It appears that they are not taking patients back to the actual ER but sending them for blood, x-rays etc from the waiting room. Isn't this a HIPAA violation?

Don't go here unless you have absolutely no choice.
