This writer is describing the medical conditions of there people in the ER?
Yup. I am sure these patients were sharing their medical details, and the staff was undoubtedly shouting out all of the medical information of everyone around her.
This doesn’t pass the basic smell test of any ER I ever worked around. I am not buying any of this stuff.
And here is a clue….if your mom is white as a ghost and clutching her chest….call 911. The ambulance ride will save her life and get her into the ER faster than this person would driving her and walking in. Of course, ambulances are expensive. They aren’t as expensive as funerals.
Exactly.
While I'm wary of EUA vaccines, FR is now full of these stories that smell badly of B.S.

Excellent advice.
I heard the same thing in our ER on two different nights. About half the people coming in we’re having severe reactions to the COVID vaccines.
This sounds similar to our ER at our local hospital. Here's how it usually is. At about 10pm the ER waiting room starts filling up with what people usually call 'Mexicans' but are actually Hondurans, Guatemalans, Salvadorans, etc. They wait til 10 pm because they know the ER is usually not busy and few, if any, gringos are there. They are usually nearly all young females with babies and small children. They fill up the ER and will wait patiently for hours to see a doctor for their or their childrens' illnesses................

Not sure what ERs you’ve been to, but if you go to Grady Hospital in Atlanta, you’ll see exactly what this guy is talking about. You walk into an ER, you cannot be turned away. If the hospital, like Grady, is a Level 1 trauma center they get all the bad stuff: shootings, stabbings, car wrecks, etc, plus everything else. Some hospitals, like Grady have established units to try and deal with mild issues, but at the end of the day it’s all about liability. Someone comes in for something, they get two aspirin and shuffled out the door, collapse at the corner, an army of lawyers shows up to represent the family. Basic facts and we all see the billboards driving down the road.
If they’re talking to someone that is having chest pains, they can’t turn them away. Because it just might be a heart attack or them looking for a free meal, some juice and to get out of the cold. What happens if the person with chest pains, is asked to leave and collapses outside. Family and their lawyers find out that their heart exploded and the hospital could have done something about it.
When the meth heads and pill heads show up, looking for some Vicodin to relieve their back pain, they get a bed space. Some hospitals will just write the scrip and watch them do cartwheels as they leave, just so they can free up the bed for something legitimate.
I’ve had to follow ambulances to Grady often. It was not uncommon to be there more than once in a shift. And it was not surprising to see the same person, in the same bed, in the same parking spot in the hallway throughout my shift.
So, yes, when the poor need help or the pill head wants meds, they go to the ER. When Juanita is pregnant and her water breaks, she goes to the ER.
And we’re paying for all of it.
Some of the folks on this site sure do ride some really high horses.
That sums up my experiences with 3 hospital ERs, having been brought there by both Ambulances and cars, for 3 strokes ,twice for internal bleeding and once for an undiagnosed collapse.(Probably dehydration, or low blood pressure caused by permanently reducing my stroke blood pressure (over 220).
Right now a lot of ERs will only allow a patient in there and no relatives or caretakers. -Tom
I will not argue the poster is real or a fake. No matter to me.
But it is correct that emergency rooms have become free medical care to people who should not be there.
I have A-Fib and until we got the perfect formula for medication made frequent trips to the ER. Only once was I scared enough to call 911 as I feel that like the ER, ambulances should be available to those in real need rather than used as a taxi.
So I have spent a fair amount of time waiting to be seen in the ER. One time it was 5 hours. On that day, the ER was full of mothers with kids with a scraped knee, head colds and various other things that children experience. Not one should have been in the ER
No, nobody told me anything about their medical history. When you watch parents interacting with their kids for 5 hours, you are stupid if you don;t get it.
But the bottom ine is...the federal government ruins every thing in which it becomes involved.
If you do not believe that, make a list. Start with the elementary schools and go down the list...grade school, universities, grant system to universities for research. the postal system, EPA, Bureau of Land Management, the FBI, DOJ, and no way to cure the ills of any of these organizations without a complete reversal of how we think of government’s role in our personal lives.
Think about it. Your vote helped shape the ER just as it helped scrw up the school system. Get serious.
“You” = all FR fans, not any specific person.
Massive wait times.
I was told that most people below the age of 30 use the ER and UC’s as their primary doctor (we live in a rural area).
As a result, I either drive 50 miles to an urgent care in an affluent area, schedule an appointment with my regular doc, or do home remedy. My doc is pretty good, but I keep thinking she is going to hang it up soon since the insurance keeps going up and her income is not. Again, most people go to urgent care rather than spend money on regular visits.
Note I did not say ER. When my Dad had stroke, he sat in the ER for three hours before a doc saw him. This was in Seattle.
Our health system is bad. No point pretending otherwise.
Not only that but the reason these people are in the ED is the shortage of primary care docs. The ones that are left do not have the capacity to handle acute illness and send their pts to the ED. This whole piece smells to high heaven and is clearly agenda driven.

Agree 100%. Most AGENDANISTAS apparently don’t hesitate to employ fantasies when they don’t have actual realities to advance their agendas.

Is this always true, though? Some rural areas, you may wait 20-30 minutes for an ambulance, and it can’t drive as fast as a car to the ER, which might be 30 minutes away by speeding car, but 40 or 50 minutes away by slower ambulance.
I don’t know, I’m genuinely asking. IIRC, you were a cop?
