With a loved one I accompanied, we waited 3 to 8 hours for kidney pain. After leaving the hospital (still in the emergency room) to go to a clinic, the problem was renal colic. Back at the CHUV, the specialists surprised us as to their inexperience in reading the radiography of a kidney, and in minimizing the problem. It was embarrassing for me to accompany a loved one to a renowned hospital that has a miserable service and wait. There are very few staff (apparently 10,000?).

If you still plan to go to the emergency room, make an appointment.
