Slow ER. I came in with debilitating pain & it too...

Slow ER. I came in with debilitating pain & it took them 3-4hrs to give me anything. I understand there s a lot of drug seekers out there but when someone comes in with prior severe trauma to their entire body(broke every limb, ribs, neck, & back + lacerated/ruptured almost ALL of their internal organs less than 6mo prior to the visit) they should be treated more promptly & not put through an extended wait time. I had just had my 9th or 10th surgery of the year a few weeks before the ER visit & was greatly offended by the lack of urgency. Yes. There s a process & I do understand that. I was hospitalized earlier 2017 for over 3mo. I know they can t waive a magic wand & get to every patient promptly BUT when someone is crying so hard that their eyes are almost swollen shut? + an extremely extensive list of injuries that they endured less than 6mo before!!! Plus I came in with an ambulance!!!
In the end they gave me ketamine which helped but was an even more uncomfortable experience in and of itself. Less than an hour after leaving the ER I was in severe pain all over again, like the problem wasn t addressed. Just a quick bandaid, pat on the back, and off I went. I needed a more balanced solution & I was pushed through the system instead.
