Next time make a dramatic entrance, come in the ER door groaining, clutching your chest and collapse in front of the admission clerk. You will get taken directly back to the ER.
Must suck to live your city
Ride an ambulance and live
Save money and die......
I guess you could always give a fake name - like they do up here.
Joe Dokes (Pssst Maria, where is little Jose?")
ER Tech "Ah Mr Dokes, is that spelled with an 'a'?"
Joe "Que? No, I mean, yes, an 'a'."
ER Tech "Tenga por favor un asiento, un doctor estará con yu pronto"
Joe "Thanks. Uh, do I have to show insurance card? You know back home this kind of visit is free"
ER Tech "Have a nice day." Walks off.
Make those Spainish classes from high school pay off.
She had been in a post-op room with lots of empty beds. But she was told she couldn't stay there and had to go back to the ER. I think they should have kept her there until a bed became available in the ER.
How's your wife now? That idiot really shouldn't be driving. Duh. But it does now bring to light why sometimes you see the ambulance speeding and sometimes they are moving slow. I never put much thought into it.
Thanks, Gunner. Worth remembering.
Have a nice (stress-free?) weekend.
That reminds me of a scene I watched some 20+ years ago on a busy street here in my city. Some ambulance was charging down the street in a fairly heavy traffic situation, until it got stuck at the edge of a park (across from where I was standing), with some lady frozen stopped dead in front of the vehicle. The ambulance driver got on the bullhorn and blurted out, "MOVE IT, A$$HOLE !!!" and that finally did the trick. ;-D
I asked my hubby to read your post.
He was so impressed with your advice that he printed out a copy for his coworkers to read.
I think I'll do the same thing on Monday.
Thanks again.
You are welcome, Mary.
Cheers!
