Got to the ER at 4:45am and was immediately taken back for an EKG and X-ray. I was then instructed to wait in the waiting room for the doctor. At 6:30 I was told I could be seen at 7am. At 7:45 I was moved upstairs to another triage that knew nothing about the tests and history of why I was there. At 8:30 the doctor saw me and instructed me that I should get an xray. After explaining to her that I had already done that she went to check it out. 5 minutes later she came back and told me everything looked normal and that I should continue to take my antibiotics and rest. It's difficult to rest and take your antibiotics while you're sitting in a waiting room that doubles as a homeless shelter with no bathroom. It's alarming how unorganized a hospital can be with people's lives to care for.
